Our date is set for July 23, 2011. My mom has this vision of the ceremony taking place at a local gazebo in a park. I've also looked into the beautiful lawn of my college where commencement is usually held. We are outdoorsy people, so I am torn between doing it outside, or just playing it safe with rain and weather and getting an inside venue. The inside place is really affordable, but then my mom goes on to say "Well what about the tear down? Who will do that when we are busy going to the reception." She's not being pushy at all about it, I just feel torn myself between it being inside our outside.
July in Illinois can be temperamental- humidity, rain, extreme heat.. Anyone else fighting with yourself between deciding on an inside/outside venue? I'll probably just do it inside to be safe, but I still think about the beauty of it being outdoors.
