So, my fiancé and I are not very traditional, and we are having a very small ceremony (25 of our closest family and friends). We plan on spending maybe 30 minutes from walk down to over. It has to be outside (we're getting married in the fall), so my question is: Is it really necessary to spend $500+ on a wedding permit for one of minneapolis public parks, or can we just show up and put some lawn chairs down and say I do for free?? Our reception is at a different site, and that's what we are spending all of our time and money at. Any and all help would be awesome!!
