YES, agreed. Hell, I'm willing to fly to Michigan for this one!
Or a tropical island! 
All I've really thought of is how you'll include B in it and how adorable he'd look in a little tux!

Naturally :-). Sorry Amanda, you are stuck with us
I was thinking Vegas but a tropical island sounds so much better! Heck, I am willing fly to Michigan too.
awwww. I can totally see B in a tux and as the ring bearer walking/running down the aisle and including him in the ceremony. Precious .
If it is in Michigan, I see the favors as cookies shaped in tractors and firetrucks :-)
