I'm getting married outside of the reception site. It's kind of a "courtyard" area with a beautiful view of a river and park.
I'm having a hard time finding an altar/arch I like, and that will fit/match the space.
Now I'm starting to wonder if it's really even necessary? Must I have one? Can we just stand up in front of our friends and family with our pastor without one? I've never done this before so I don't know...
Please help
