Wedding ideas........?

My boyfriend and I ant to get married. I always pictured my wedding as a grand affair. Many people, lots of flowers, good food, and a beautiful reception. Unfortunately I moved far away and I dont have family around. My boyfriend is not a very social person. For the last 9 yrs and its been about us and now the children. I need ideas on how to plan a wedding w/no bridesmaid and no groomsmen. Our little girl will b the flower girl and our son the ringbearer.

Wedding ideas........?
If you can afford it, a wedding planner would be helpful. If not, you can definitely do it by yourself...just remember that everyone is there to see celebrate with you and probably wont remember all the little details you will---so dont stress too much. As for the no bridesmaids/groomsmen, all of the attention will be on you and your family! :-)
Reply:You need to have two people as witnesses to the wedding who will sign the wedding certificate. They can be a BM and MOH or family members or whoever but you need two witnesses signatures for the certificate to be legal and be able to be filed with the state to make your marriage legal.





You can go to a small chapel and have a quiet ceremony and a reception with cake and punch afterwards.
Reply:If I were you I would plan a very special private affair. Just invite those that are close to you (20 or so) and have it in a special place like your home, country farm, ranch, the beach, a park, or something along those lines. The smaller you go on the wedding the more you can spend on flowers, attire, and photography. Then after the wedding have a really nice reception that is catered. (this is if you have a budget)


I would try to make this as "memorable" as possible. Not as "grand" as possible. Thats something I would have changed about my wedding.





PS, dont do Favors, they are a waste of money, time, and effort. Plus your guests just throw them out anyway.
Reply:Have you considered traveling back home for the wedding? Seeing as your boyfriend isnt social, i would assume it wouldnt break his heart to have the wedding in your hometown so you family and loved ones can be around you. This way you can have bridesmaids and groomsmen plus a ton of people who can help you with the planning!
Reply:I am getting married in June and have learned that YOU need to do what's best for YOU. Consider various options and discuss them with family/groom. Go with YOUR gut, not what others want. Be open to suggestions, but always be mindful that it's YOUR day and follow YOUR heart. Good luck ! :)
Reply:Try a bed and breakfest wedding... Beautiful and fun!





Example below..just research the ones in your area.
Reply:You should have the wedding near your family.


Don't have a lonely wedding. Have wedding at your hometown.
