My perfect wedding is this...
I (the bride!) arrive at the venue (a large one room venue, like a hall of some kind) with my dad and bridesmaids at around 5/6PM. All the guests are there (day and evening guests, in a 'traditional' sense) We have the ceremony. Then, straight after saying the vows it immediately turns into a huge party with a band, buffet, hog roast etc. Briefly interrupted by the first dance, cutting the cake, throwing the bouquet and all that jazz.
But no formal reception with speeches.
What's the general consensus? Because this is what I'd reallly like and I'm getting some funny looks when I suggest it to people IRL.
Also, would wedding venues be up for this idea???
