Ceremony/Reception

We are having our ceremony in a small church near the highschool we attended and were we first met. We chose the church from seeing our friends get married there last year, we thought it was perfect for us. We are comfortable with the pastor, he is young and really cool, and easy to talk too. Our ceremony is non traditional and we wanted it short and sweet, we took out the Unity Candle Ceremony, no one will be doing any reading or singing, and my father will not be walking me down the isle or giving me away, I don't feel comfortable with that since I have been living away from home for 14 years and our relationship has not been a close one.

The reception is going to be held in a Army / Navy Legion/Club. We have been to many weddings and parties there and we know how they run and it was really cheap to rent for the day/night. We are being lent a sound system for the night, we aren't having a DJ, they usually don't have the music we like.

We are having cold plates for our dinner, we have been to other summer weddings that have done this and it's cheap and yummy. Family members and friends that have volunteered to do it, will be plating and serving it to our guests.
