Ok. I'm going to try to make this reeeally long story, shorter.
First off, I don't want to see my fiance before the ceremony, and I also don't want to miss my cocktail. So my plan is to have an hour or so gap between my ceremony and reception. (Which is why I can't have my ceremony at my reception site)
Next, I have a certain pastor I want. He's been around my family my WHOLE life, so there's really no question there. The problem is, he retired. And he has no problem doing my ceremony, but the rules say he can't come back to our church. (Which is why I can't have my ceremony at my church)
So now, my wedding is 5 months away, my invites need to be ordered in a couple weeks and I have no ceremony site.
I've researched and found a couple random sites. (cathedral of the woods, etc.)
I'm wondering if you guys have any additional ideas. Maybe any outdoor parks/gardens. Or like pretty historical buildings that rent out their space.
Basically, I'm desperate. I'd like to stay in the Cherry Hill area, but I've looked at some places in Philly too, so I guess I could do whatever.
Thanks!!
