Activity for Samantha

My fiancé and I have narrowed our venue choices down. One option is to have our ceremony at one site that is about an hour drive from our reception site. Thoughts/opinions on ceremony and reception venues being an hour apart?

My fiancé and I are newly engaged (11/20/16). We are trying to find a venue and a ceremony site that does not break the bank. In order to have what we want it looks like our wedding will be 1/20/18. My family is very opinionated and have lots to say...
