My fiance and I are planning on having a small ceremony for our wedding. My fiance does not have parents/grandparents alive to be present and so he would like some of his close friends and their parents to be present. I have my family (parents, brother and very close friends) coming from across the country. I think we would be able to keep it under 30 people for the ceremony. I am interested on opinions of having the ceremony on a Friday afternoon and then having all weekend to celebrate and be around great family and friends. We live in Colorado and are thinking of a weekend celebration (+ ceremony) in the mountains. Has anyone been to anything like this?? I think it would be fun for some of my friends that have never been to Colorado to have all weekend to relax and experience it with us.
