My fiance wants a destination wedding so that we don't have to invite everyone to our wedding and we can have a small wedding. I also like this idea but I'm starting to lean more towards an all-in-one type wedding. We talked about having the wedding reception outside at his Grandparents farm. I'm wondering if we should just have the wedding and reception out there and have a day out there. We live in Northern Alberta and would like to get married late August. I think the weather will be okay for an outdoor wedding but I don't know if I can talk him into it. He is really set on a small wedding. I think having the wedding and reception out at the farm could be just as simple and cheap or even cheaper than having a destination wedding than coming back for the reception. The decorations will all be the same and we can have a friend be the photographer for the whole thing instead of hiring one for the wedding. I need opinions and ideas.
