For those of you familiar with/would like to look this up:
We are planning on having our reception in downtown Lancaster, PA. In fact we were hoping for both ceremony and reception, but to get the venue for both is cost prohibitive. Ithan found a beaaaauuuutfil place in Mount Joy, PA to hold the ceremony. I asked my mom... and him.... and neither are concerned about the distance between the two.
My mom said "You can't please everybody. It's more commonplace than you think to have the ceremony and reception in two locations. You will be just fine."
Ithan says "This is our day!! If we want the ceremony and reception in two places, then we should make US happy!!" (he is, for some reason, quite concerned about the ceremony location. and us being happy.)
I've done some hefty wedding traveling, as I'm sure we all have, involving cross country flights, local road trips (under 3 hours) lengthy road trips (over 14 hours). I've been to receptions that were at least a half hour away from the ceremony. I've never balked at the idea (WELL, Miami to OBX, NC was a b***h).
But still, I'm playing anxious hang wringer, despite knowing both mom and fiance are okay with it (and are they the only two who matter?? LOL)
So, if you can weigh in: Mount Joy (Hoping to have ceremony in outdoor gazebo at Cameron Estates) to Lancaster (Mulberry Art Studio I hope). 15.4 miles, 22 minutes according to Google; mostly a straight shot on a highway.
Reasonable? Or am I asking too much?
Thanks everybody

For easy things that may be got at will most sorts of men do set but little store.
Why then should I account of little pain
That endless pleasure shall unto me gain?
