is it really important to have it outside.?

Question

I want it inside wedding she wants it outside with a tent just incase it does rain. If we have it outside with a tent then we need to find another place to have because the tents will be to big and where would we put everyone. This is my second wedding and hers to and it isn't one of those I should listen to her so please do not say this. maybe I have a good point and we both are paying for it. Looking forward to her from you women to stand up for her let me hear it....

Answer 1

We had an outdoor wedding in what is typically a rainy month in Ohio. We found a venue that gave us the option of choosing whether or not to set up the tent on the Wednesday before our wedding. It ended up not raining and was a beautiful, clear day--but we had that backup plan which is always important! I am sure you can find a venue that will give you the option to set up the tent as a backup plan. Tents nowadays can look really nice. You do need to compromise (both of you!) . I hate the idea that the bride gets to control everything--why WOULDN'T you both have input?

Answer 2

I'd consider the time of year that you're getting married. If the temperature will be warm without being hot, and it's not likely to rain or be windy, then I'd consider having it outside. But if you live in, say, Phoenix and you're getting married in July, then most definitely have it inside. Likewise, if you're getting married during the spring, fall or winter and there's a chance for rain or snow.

Other things to consider is the reception, will that be held at the same place? Having the reception outside brings up a whole new range of potential problems with the food and keeping things like bugs and leaves/grass out of it.

Both have their benefits and problems, I'd suggest making a list of pros and cons of both and go over it with your fiancee. I've been to both indoor and outdoor weddings that were done nicely, and I've been to some of both that were miserable. The weather is a huge factor in whether or not I'd plan an outdoor wedding, though.

Answer 3

if having it outside is important to her, then why do you even need to ask our opinions? It seems to me that if you love each other enough and are matur enough to be getting married, a little issue like this would not be a big deal. She dreams of a wedding outdoors - and if it fits the budget, why not?

Of course, compromise goes both ways. If your concern is financial - that is something she has to be considerate of as well. But, in the end, you are supposed to be committing to spending the rest of your life making each other happy - maybe a tent is a good place to start:)

Answer 4

Is it important? The important thing is to make it thru the wedding day. :)

Could you compromise and have the ceremony inside and the reception outside? (or vice versa) I'm sure you have done this...but have you sat down with her and explained why inside is important to you and why outside is to her? Its so hard to be practical when you are dealing with dream weddings. (and esp the second time because now you can correct everything you wished for the first time)

Good luck to you...and if all else fails flip a coin... :)

Answer 5

You can had it outside, with a few other small tent join with the big one. I think she may like the nature so find a park or near the sea will be a good place.
Let her had her way then is your turn.

Answer 6

If you are helping to pay for it, then you get a say.

If her parents are paying for it, then you do not get a say.

If you two cannot agree on this one simple issue, how are you going to handle a big issue when it comes up in your marriage?
