Me and my fiancé are still on the younger side (23&24) and are super laid back. We both want a casual wedding where people have fun and enjoy themselves and its a party feel.

We decided to have our ceremony in a beautiful park in my hometown. and the reception in my parents backyard. Im wearing just a short white lace dress, and he's wearing khakis and a button up long sleeve.

However, now i feel like I'm avoiding wedding talk with people because i feel like some people are judging a little bit. i know you can't please everyone, and most of the people judging aren't even invited. but i can't help but to feel hurt when people are like "oh thats your dress?" and "oh you're having it in a park/ your parents backyard?"

just need some advice on how to deal with this if anyone has been in a similar situation ?

    Do whatever you want- its your wedding! If your wedding isnt good enough for people, let them stay home. I would rather be invited to a casual get together than a black-tie affair (where I have to rent an expensive dress) personally. Some of the more expensive weddings I have been have had terrible food and were uncoordinated, where some of the more casual ones were laid back and had great food!

    Also people are going to judge you no matter what you do for your wedding. These forums are a fine example of that.

    Do whatever makes you happy! Do not listen to what others are saying. People are always going to have an opinion but it's not their wedding day. A person who I thought was a friend was actually making fun of my fiancé and I because we are having our wedding reception at a fire hall. I just ignore it.

    Don't worry about what others think. Daughter got married 1.5 years ago, 110 guests, very casual at a family ranch. The biggest ticket item was hay bales for sitting at ceremony
