Weekend Wedding?

Weekend Wedding? 1
Hey guys!! My FW and I got engaged over the holidays. She planned a wonderful day to have all of our families over and each of them brought me a holiday card to spell out the proposal 😍 (the O was even sent out and returned by my best friend states away just in time) buuuuut now that the world wind of holidays have ended, I've started to slightly panic over where to begin 😅😅😅



So my question for this post is, thoughts on a weekend long wedding? Red River Gorge here in Kentucky has a lodge you can rent out from Friday night until Sunday morning. They cover almost every part needed for the wedding (and breakfast comes with renting out the lodge) for about the same price as throwing a wedding here at home with much more actual planning. We plan on having to buy pizza the Friday before and make that a pretty casual rehersal and catching up night. But I just feel like this is almost too easy, and I'm letting my excitement overlook obvious things. We have to keep our guest list pretty small, but it does manage to just cover all family and closest friends. Are there any other cons? And pros? Unexpected things to watch out for? Anyone with experience having all of your and your future in-law family under the same roof for that long of a time? 😅😅😅

    1. Congrats to your FW on a creative, romantic proposal. It's awesome!
    2. As someone who is also having an intimate wedding, your venue sounds amazing! Would there be activities that everyone can do separately from the rest of the group? (Hiking, shopping, wine tasting, etc.) If I were there I would need the option to take a break from group things.

    It has a stocked fishing lake attached, they keep all kinds of books and games at the lodge, and each guest has a tv and wifi in their room. It is in the middle of a beautiful place to hike though! And a few places offer things like ziplining, kayaking, and horseback riding but I'm not sure the cost for them 😅

    This is the CUTEST proposal! Your ring is beautiful Smiley love
    This sounds like a wonderful, intimate celebration!
    As Kirsten suggested, perhaps having some suggested or planned activities that folks can take part in may hold off the cabin fever and reduce the likelihood of any fallings out Smiley laugh
