Me and fiance can't agree...all outdoor vs. wedding barn

Sometimes I am glad my FH didn't get involved with anything wedding related! I would be so annoyed! I think your barn idea is a thousand times better just stick with that tell him you asked around and the campground has issues make something up he won't know trust me.

Unfortunately you are right in this situation - on the bright side atleast FH has been heard, and you've taken everything in to account rather than being dismissive. I'm sure he will learn to love the barn

Let us know what you decided on, and good luck!!

Oh no, you are not doing your first dance to the hum of a generator.

I would weigh every pro and con for both possible locations. Regardless of the option chosen, you will need a back-up plan in case of bad weather. Best of luck!

No. Just no. No backup plan? No electricity?

No. I believe i said that already.

Southern Bride - That's the point of the first look - to do it a couple hours beforehand so you can take pictures and relax before the ceremony! We will be doing ours around 3:30 and the ceremony starts at 5:30 and is only 15 mins away from the first look location. So we will have almost 2 hours to take pictures and relax before our ceremony. I think it's a great option for you guys. You can even do it more than 3 hours before if you want to just relax back at a hotel room or something. It's not too unusual to drive far for pictures, either. My sister had a long gap after the ceremony and we drove an hour to go take pictures at the campus of the college they met at. It's great because it gives you time to take pictures so you have more time at the reception, enjoying the party you two are paying for! My friends who have done first looks all day it doesn't take away from the excitement of walking down the aisle. But it does help calm the nervous for both of you. I really feel like this would be a great option for you guys. Pitch it to him and see what he says!

Wshoo! I have great news! Very unexpectedly, my FH started talking about the wedding barn as the reception site today! He mentioned it a couple times today, so I finally asked him something like "So, does this mean you are ok with having the reception at the barn?" And he said.....YES! I don't know if he finally saw the sense of using the barn or if he just conceded because he knew I wanted it, but either way! So, it looks like we'll be using the valley campground for the ceremony and the wedding barn for the reception! Yay! Thanks everyone for all your advice!

So you're in the south..... and having a wedding in hurricane season. Point THAT out to him. You need shelter.
