As it was we had about 100 guests, 15 or so from the UK. At La Venta in Palos Verdes, CA. It's a fantastic venue with breathtaking views. Bloody overpriced though. Then everything is so much more expensive here.

Re: Weddings?
My wedding was even more minimal than Ray's. I married in the famous Westminster Register Office in central London (pity about the traffic on Marylebone Road) with a slap up meal in the private room of Royal China in Queensway. There were about 17 guests at the wedding ceremony and sixteen at the meal. There were no fortune cookies at the end of this meal.
We honeymooned some months later in Paris (after applying for and getting my I-130 by DCF at the US Embassy).

What was you wedding like? was it in the UK or US? was it a quicky civil cermony or something more elaborate? was it planned out or a last min thing?
We got wed in the US (in Florida) at a place called The English Gardens it was planned out... the whole white wedding bit... from us booking it in March (we got married in Nov) I spent the whole time panicing because of having to get a K1 etc no wedding insurance company would touch me... luckly all worked out well and it was a beautiful wedding.

Debs did a fantastic job of arranging most of the big stuff before I arrived in the US in March but there was still plenty of minor details to arrange after I arrived.
We had about 65 people at the wedding and reception, about 15 of whom were a combination of friends and family from the UK. My dad was my best man and apart from the weather that scuppered our longterm plans for an outdoor wedding, the day went really well and everyone had a great time. Official wedding pics courtesy of my uncle can be found here.
