Sponsored Wedding Orlando Area

My fiance and I had a bunch of money saved up for our wedding, but since the market crash and both of us being laid off from our jobs...we have just about completely run through our savings. We are both in our late 20`s and we have 2 small children with another on the way, so money is definitely tight. If it wasn`t for my fiance`s military disability pay and my GI Bill I think we`d be in serious trouble!

So anyways, we want to have our wedding in Cocoa Beach, Florida on the beach and we want to have a great reception. We are the only people on our guest list who live in Florida, so EVERYONE will have to travel. We really want to make it worth their while to travel here in these tough economic times. I am pretty crafty so I plan on doing quite a few things myself for the wedding and reception; however, it`s still a bit more than we can afford. Does anyone know of a business who sponsors weddings or is interested in sponsoring? Our guest list includes a great deal of military members, Jessica Alba (my fiance grew up with her), Larry Johnson of the KC Chiefs (fiance also grew up with him), a few Florida radio DJs, and an up and coming hip hop star (already famous in Europe). Our guest list also includes presidents of a few large companies. We just feel it would be tacky and absolutely desperate to ask our friends` companies to sponsor our wedding since they have absolutely nothing to do with the event or wedding business.
