Here's what it ended up being in the end:

In the end we ended up renting a venue with beautiful views of the river, a nice turn out with a good mix of family and friends. We ordered this cute cake of both of us.

We still had 'finger food' like quesadillas, crackers and cheese, chips and salsa, etc. I made these cute little signs for the food to try to dress it up a bit.

We kept a bit of the theme rolling with the black table cloths and popcorn buckets with streamer-thingies popping out.

I had one brother-in-law incident that was downplayed by amazing Aunts and Uncles.
I am not one to boast, or even accept gifts well but here are some of the neat gifts I got this year:

For those that don't know, it's nook from my very thoughtful mother-in-law. She said she thought of the idea when we were on the plane home from Cali reading my book. I looked over and a woman had one, and mentioned I liked the ones where I could read outside without the glare. What a thoughtful woman! As a side note, I'm relieved to hear she still wants to remain close.

The next one I got from the marine and it was new headlights for my car. Most people wouldn't think this a very thoughtful gift, but it was. Considering mine took a nice sand blast from California sandstorms. Buffing them out was a semi-failed attempt.

The next one was from one of my closest friends. He really didn't have to get me anything. He's pretty amazing. He knows I don't accept gifts well, but he does it anyway. But he managed to sneak in a target gift card. You may think, boo, lame, etc, but it was a fantastic idea. Why you say? because he's a tech guy and I always ask him about his review/opinion of tech gadgets. Yep he's that kinda awesome. Again, he really didn't have to get me anything. Any-who, I've asked him for almost a year his opinion on external Hard Drives. He always gave his opinion and I finally took the plunge. Boy am I glad I waited, I got a 1.5 TB [Yes Terabytes with a T] external hard drive all for the low price of $79.99. Sure, I probably could have gone online and purchased for less BUT I had a gift card and only ended up spending about $20 of my own mullah on this baby. Did I mention, he really didn't have to get me anything?
Next up, my aunt-in-law if it is even a technical term. She got me this ornate black flowered scarf.

Really these things were far beyond what I could imagine, as I really just wanted every one's presence. Such thoughtful amazing gifts!
