I have always wanted a non traditional outdoor, just chill and hang out reception with good BBQ food at my favorite local public park. My question is, how do I incorporate a wedding ceremony during that day if I will need to set up everything. (Décor, drinks, food, entertainment, yard games, etc..) I thought about having a private court house wedding during the week but I really want to have my license dated on the weekend day that I am having my reception/celebration. The shelter pavilion does include picnic tables so I thought maybe I could just schedule a ceremony time and walk down the middle of picnic tables but then it goes back to having to set everything up and seeing the groom up until that point while being in my dress. There is not even a easy close spot to go change and then come out of to walk to the area without it being quite a long walk. Personally I could careless to have a ceremony in general but I am not sure if that is even possible if I want my license dated the day of my celebration. Any advice on ideas?
