Ok, so I've never been married before and I have no idea what I'm doing...but I'm getting married in Tennessee and most of the planning will have to be done long distance.
Most of my family will not be able to attend but some of them do wish to come.
So I'm looking at reception venues possibly a 9 room log cabin up in the smokies so people have a place to sleep. I'm not really sure what my obligations would be to my guests, is it necessary for me to find them lodging or are they expected to do that? Its not a trip that could ever be considered a day trip for any of my family. The prospective groom and family lives about an hour away. So a 3 hour reception just doesnt seem like a possiblity
I really was thinking of just a small outdoor wedding, somewhere in the park like cades cove.
The other side of it is once I get my financee visa I move there and have 90 days to get married. and I have no idea when it will come through. Average wait time it 5 months so I'm looking at roughly june/july wedding. If all goes well.. so the planning cannot go forward until I get my visa...it all will have to be done extremely fast.
Help ladies!!!
