So we have already booked a church for the ceremony. about 45 minutes from the place or reception... my backyard. I would have the whole thing in my back yard but fiance really wants a church ceremony and with us not being a member of any church we have found a church that will let us have a ceremony for a "donation". ....
For both of our families half live out by our house and the other by the church.....
I told my fiance that with one being here and the other being there , there will 3 groups of people.....
1 the group that will drive wherever whenever and will attend both ceremony and reception.
2 the people who only enjoy receptions.
3 the people who only want to attend the ceremony.
I drive the same sitance and areas for work everyday.. yes 45 minute drive everyday so it dont matter to me. fiance was thinking of giving up his dream of a church wedding and having it all in the back yard and I know he really does not want to do that. He says there is something special about getting married in a church..... i agree.
Im okay with it all either way. but do you think travel will put a damper on our guest attendance? or weill it not matter to most ?
