My partner and I knew each other about a year before we accidentally but happily got knocked up. Nevertheless tradition kind of went out of the window with us but we love each other more than anything (he made it through labour, childbirth and the first few years of sleepless nights). I want to give him the wedding he deserves which is him in a kilt and slightly formal etc but the idea of me being the centre of attention of a 60 people minimum (we have a huge family and many friends and family who I couldn't stand the idea of not celebrating with after everything they've done for me) especially in a white dress is a bit much for me. I'd rather have an intimate ceremony of 15-20 people in the afternoon (in a outdoor setting as he wants) followed by a nice lunch and then a ceilidh with highland dancing and stovies and soup served buffet style for all our extended friends and family maybe held in a community village hall or similar in the evening. The second part would be a lot more casual, I wouldn't have to be concerned about not inviting people as it would be relatively cheap compared to paying for a 3 course meal for everybody. And of course, our DD can invite a friend or two of hers in the evening to run around and play with so we don't have to worry about her getting bored. What are people's thoughts on this, would you be offended if you were only invited to an evening reception?
