My fiance and I have opted for a micro wedding. We have 32 on our guest list (parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts and uncles and that's all) and we will not be having a wedding party nor will there be children in attendance. The wedding is planned for September, 2022 on my brothers property in Michigan. We will not be hiring catering, a DJ, or many of those other additional add-ons that are generally seen as a must. We simply feel differently.
I was wondering though, given our small plans for the big day, I have hit a few bumps in the road. Does anybody have any suggestions for who might be able to hold the rings given there is no ring bearer or wedding party? (and no, animals are off limits.) I was thinking of maybe just the officiant or my dad could hand them over after walking me down the aisle? Or we could simply be each others ring bearers? Also, who should be in charge of the music during the ceremony? We are going to build our own playlist and simply have the music play on a speaker so I really only need somebody to hit play at the right time. We are also opting out of the stereotypical dance floor and laying down a rug in the grass with some spotlights for only a few songs. Instead, we are going to have games: cornhole, giant jenga, etc. We'll end the night with a bonfire to promote both sides of family socialize.
With this all being the plan, are there any other bumps in the road that you could foresee me running into?
