I would much rather the ceremony outdoors than the reception. That is what I did for my wedding.

Ceremony. If the weather is bad, it’s a short enough part of the day that it doesn’t matter as much and doesn’t ruin the party.

We're doing both inside but I originally wanted the ceremony outside, however our wedding is in November, so bad weather was a big probability. With that being said, I would choose to have an outside wedding ceremony, it lasts the least amount of time anyways!

If rather have an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception because New Hampshire gets cold once the sun goes down, especially in Autumn

If only one, I chose the wedding ceremony for outdoors. People really aren't crazy eating with bugs anyway lol

Outdoor Ceremony. I'd rather not be outside at night any time of the year, especially because of mosquitos and it gets cold at night.

Ceremony outdoors. It's much shorter and there's no food to worry about keeping dry and bug free.

Outdoor ceremony and indoor reception. I am personally against outdoor receptions because I think it would be uncomfortable for the guests to be outside that long.

Ceremony. Easy choice because that’s what I’m doing. Hopefully, as long as the weather holds out.

I'm planning on outside for both, my original venue for the reception closed down before I even got engaged, it held significant memories for me so I decided party in the (state) park lol

Outdoor ceremony. Cos bugs and changeable weather don't mix well with food. 😉

A ceremony ! If it's raining the whole day, it would be harder to it and drink than to say yes ;-)
