We visited a venue last week and absolutely fell in love - it's a winery overlooking one of the Finger Lakes in NY. The ceremony is held down by the vines. One thing that gave me pause, though, was the coordinator said that they provide three rows of four chairs each to create an "aisle" and so that elderly people and guests of honor can be seated. The rest of the guests stand.
Our ceremony will be at 6pm in late June so it shouldn't be blazingly hot, and we planned to keep our ceremony short. However, I'm not sure how much I'd like attending a wedding where I had to stand on a lawn during the ceremony.
Has anyone attended/held a wedding where most people stand? Is this considered rude? Or will most people not really mind? We have about 120 guests and they are all very close family and friends.
