My niece got married in Atlanta, where she and the now husband were living. His family is in Virginia, hers is in NY and CT. It was a pain. They had some activities, but we just flew down Saturday morning for the afternoon wedding and flew back Sunday morning. They booked a block of rooms at a hotel, which was about half a mile from the old "mansion" which hosted the ceremony (outside) and reception. It was hot and the place wasn't all that well air-conditioned. But we spent about a grand between the two flights, hotel, parking, other meals, etc. We won't be doing that again.
