I don't want a traditional church ceremony with the bridesmaids, best man, or maid of honor. What should I do and what are the best locations for this type of wedding?

Try a destinantion wedding. You can skip most of the traditional drama that way plus you can get it free if you book 7 days at an all inclusive!

Hi and congratulations on your engagement!
Well, what kind of wedding DO you want? And....most importantly, what is your budget?
You DON'T need to have the fancy church ceremony with umpteen bridesmaids and groomsmen.
You CAN have a simple ceremony with family and friends. This can be at any number of locations. Someone's home or backyard? A park? A lake? A beach? Call up a judge, justice of the peace, or wedding officiant and have them come to YOUR location.
If you have more money, possibly you want to look into a "destination" wedding or a cruise.
You can have a small intimate wedding at different, non-traditional places....like a museum, a bed and breakfast, a small inn, an art gallery, a restaurant's private room, a hotel. It's really wide open in this day and age!
Good luck with your decision!

What about getting married outside, in a park, on a beach or lake side, on a snowy mountain? Do you live near anything like that? Park weddings are beautiful, with the natural landscapping in the background. Beach weddings are great for sandy beach lovers (like myself).
How about a destination wedding...go away with just you and your beloved (and if you want those people in your life you are closest to-or not). Go on a cruise and get married by the captain.
Do you and soon to be hubby have any common interests, a love for museums or music? Do you enjoy animals, what about a zoo or aquarium? There are so many possibilities to choose from!!!
If any of that sounds like something you are interested in, you can contact me and I will help you find a good place!
Congrats, good luck and don't stress!

You will still need two witnesses even though you don't want a big bridal party. I would suggest a ceremony in a judge's chambers, at your home or travel to Las Vegas and hit the wedding chapels. Another option is aboard a cruise ship or on a beach in another country.

You could have a ceremony with just family and a few close friends. We just attended a small wedding (16 of us total) that was at a campground where the bride and groom had met. We camped for two days and everyone had a blast. Hope this helps!

I think you should totally go with how and where u guys met, and interpet that into the wedding, of course u should include family in this. This is a once in a lifetime moment so u should think about it, and u should talk about this with ur soon to be husband, maybe he has some ideas. The wedding sould comfortable for both of u.

Congrads to your upcoming marriage. Destinations are really popular and you don't have to have bridesmaids, best man, etc. One of my friends got married in a Destination wedding w/ just her, the new hubby and I think the kids.
