Bridesmaid dresses are bought! My two big sisters and a best friend of mine will be my bridesmaids. No maid of honor really. Is that weird? Lol

Okay so we originally were going to fly Spirit airline for around $600. But it's another $100 each way for Luma so $800. Even if we did fly we would have to rent a car to get around Myrtle Beach.

Then I had the idea that maybe we could rent a large SUV and split the cost of gas between us, Tony's mom, and whoever else wants to drive from TX to SC with us. We both have been road trippers our whole lives...and we drove to Disney last year so we can handle it. It's 17 hours there and 17 hrs back. I'm just trying to find an estimation of how much gas would be. I'm guessing gas would cost around $300 for the round trip. Anyone been on a trip approx 17 hours? How much did you spend on gas?

In the end I'm not sure how much we'd really save vs. flying, but we need to have a car to drive anyways and a large SUV means we could bring more stuff with us, like decor, rather than scrambling to do the DIY stuff in sc, days before the wedding.
