Hey all fellow brides,
I need some advice. I feel like I'm going completely crazy and planning my wedding has totally consumed me! We were set to get married June 13, but postponed till Oct. 3rd hoping things would be better by than, well it's not looking good. We plan to get married in Minnesota. Right now they have restrictions of 50% capacity of the church, no greater than 250 people. Or outside not more than 250 people. We plan to get married in the church I grew up in. We can have about 120 people total in the church or can do it outside right next to the church. We have an indoor venue booked and right now we could have 250 people in there. To us that is to much so we have lowered our guest list to 100-150. My future in-laws don't support this plan. They want us to have only 50 people at the wedding ceremony than have just a small gather in my parents backyard. Or they said if we can find an all outside venue they would feel more comfortable with having 150 people there. My concern is that it will be Minnesota in Oct. never know what the weather could be. Without their support I feel like we can't do the 150 at the venue. So I need some advice with what we should do. Do we still just proceed as planned and invite 100-150 or find an outside venue(I do have one in mind and it's available). Or last choice is just have a smaller wedding ceremony and small gathering and than do a bigger reception and dance hopefully next year when all this craziness is more controlled? Thank you
