I know this is our day and we can do whatever we want. However, I'm afraid that our wedding will be the worst wedding according to our guests. It's not in a fancy country club or renting a barn/tent. It's in a simple fire hall that while it looks nice, it's not what my family and friends expect a reception should be held. I mean I'm doing everything that would not be considered "tacky":
-we're having a wine/beer/signature drink/soda bar
-we're having uplighting and drapes in some areas
-we're serving our entrees "family style"
-we're making our "wedding gap" very short (compare to other Catholic weddings)
-we're using real flowers, even though I'm DIYing my centerpieces
And yet when I get asked where's my reception being held, I'll get the "how quaint" or "oh" comments.
I wish there's other brides here who had a fire hall/simple banquet hall so I can see how it turned out. I want FI and I have to the best wedding we can afford without considered the worst ever.
