So trying to compromise with FH, he could just do the whole court house thing like we both did with our first marriages, but this time I want the dress and the experience, etc. so Is it crazy to consider planning just the reception and have a court house ceremony? We run a farm for an 89 year old man, who adores us both, and has given us permission to use the farm as our venue free of charge because we live here, FH runs outside as Head Foreman/Farm Hand, I run inside the main house as Mr. Morgan's maid/ caregiver, and all that goes with those titles... We have our own house on the opposite side of the property from the main house, 28 acres of main farm, and 12 acres of citrus grove 2.3 miles up the road. We got here in April 2020 lol, and have won this man over *giggles*, we deal with alot on a daily trying to reset this farm & grove for Pop and there are nights I go to bed alone because FH is fixing the equipment that someone's broken but hey that's farm life. What do you think? Court house & planned reception or actually plan both a ceremony and reception?

    Nope, it's not crazy to do a courthouse ceremony and a planned reception at the farm. I think it will be great!

    I think ultimately it depends on what your fiance is okay with. Is it that he doesn't like a lot of attention on him or is the concern spending the money because my fiance sounds just like yours so our compromise was to do a micro wedding. It is not uncommon to do a courthouse ceremony with a larger reception after and in fact you can find invitations worded that way. Maybe you can find a nice scenic view for pictures to do the ceremony just you two maybe a couple of witnesses and then still have the reception at the farm house?

    I think thats great if it is what you want. In an ideal world with covid permitting we are planning a small ceremony of like less then 30 and having a reception/celebration with like 100. It was our compromise. Its your day so it really is what ever you want to do.

    I’d plan both on the farm. Small and intimate sounds amazing - or whatever your dream is

    I definitely think it's fine to do it that way if you want to. You could also do a ceremony at the farm right before your reception, with or without all of the guests.


    There's also nothing wrong with wearing a formal dress to the courthouse!

    It’s definitely not crazy or unheard of to have a courthouse ceremony and then a reception. Do whatever will work the best for the two of you! You can’t go wrong with either choice.
