Backyard Wedding?

Question

My fiance and I were talking about where we would like to have our wedding and the idea came up about perhaps having the wedding in his backyard. They have a nice backyard that is large enough to accommodate our needs. Neither I nor my fiance are really interested in a big fancy wedding but would having a backyard wedding be tacky? We would like a very laid back feel for it. Just our close friends and family. We could easily bring in an arch and such.

If we didn't have the actual ceremony there what about the reception? I personally can't dance and while I would love to dance some with my future husband I don't really like or want to have the reception be a dance. It feels too high school prom like for me. Anyway, opinions please?

Hi, I think a backyard wedding sounds very beautiful. You can do a lot with it! I know you don't like dancing but its your wedding and you have to at least dance the first dance. If you have a pool in the backyard you can cover it with glass. The guests could dance on it. Or you could put tables and chair and they can sit there. Since you don't like dancing much, you can just look beautiful and walk around and say hi to people. Or if its with your close friends just sit together laugh, dance a little, Show films or pictures of you and your fiancé. Don't play boring music. Play all kinds. Slow dance is the easiest. You should also play techno, Jazz. I' sure your wedding will be as you imagined. Do you have a dream wedding in mind? well I'm sure everything will be great. Congratulations!!!! I wish you guys the best of life together =]
