My fiance and I have a two year old, have been living together for 3 years, and are in the process of buying our first home. We are on a very tight budget! We have been talking about having an outdoor wedding at a picnic pavilion but the food costs and guest list are still weighing down our budget. This morning, my mom suggested that we might want to get married at our annual family reunion. Half the guests will already be invited, the space is plentiful, the tables and chairs will already be in place, half of the food will already be provided, etc. We would just need to spruce up the decorations, rent a tent or two (not as expensive as it sounds when renting from the local Air Force base), set up a DJ and photogropher, provide a candy bar and some food, and party. I think it could really make so many aspects of our day easier, less stressful, and much less epensive! Unfortunately, it is MY family's reunion, so my fiance feels less comfortable with it. He thinks it will really take away from "our day." I know there will be a million opinions out there, but I was wondering how you would feel if you were in his position, what might make it easier, and any ideas for making the day more about us. Thank you in advance for your help!
