My fiance and I are planning on having a very inexpensive, nontraditional and intimate wedding. We love camping and that was one of our first dates. I would have never thought about getting a group site and having a wedding on it until my friend showed me "campsite" weddings on pinterest. We live in Colorado so we have some amazing campgrounds in the rocky mountains. I'm curious to know other peoples thoughts on a campsite wedding. And if anyone has any suggestions or ideas I'm totally open to whatever!

I recently got engaged (yay) but I hate attention! I don't want a wedding , my fiancé and I agree that we want the ceremony to be intimate and family only but we feel that a lot of people will be disappointed if we don't do something with them. We'd rather put money towards buying furniture for our home and having a nice honeymoon than spending thousands to feed our huge family. I was thinking a cocktail hour in my parents backyard and we can invite more people and it will be cheaper, but what are some more inexpensive ideas in place of a wedding reception?

I am a bridesmaid, its in about 3.5 weeks on a Thursday however we haven't heard any details yet. All I know is the location which is a different state than where I live. I already am taking Friday off for the wedding and took 2 days off for the bachelorette so don't want to use any more vacation days. my boyfriend and I wouldn't stay the night because he has to work on Friday so feasibly we would arrive around 6 and leave around 830. However I do not even know the times yet. Last night another bridesmaid asked if we could watch a NFL game during it and she said yes since everyone will want to watch it. I then asked the bride what the details are and she never gave me an answer or times. I also have school same night and would prefer not to miss it, it is my last semester before I graduate and do not want to mess it up with absences, which two I already have to miss due to work travel. I have also been in 3 wedding so pretty comfortable with figuring out what to do, it is going to be a small quick ceremony outside on a dock.

My childhood was a bad one, lets just put it that way. I no longer speak with my mom or my 2 older sisters and I'm not close with my cousins since they are much older than me. I am worried that when I get married, if I even decide to have a semi-big wedding, the guests will just be everyone the groom knows, and barely anyone on my side. This makes me really sad. I cant invite certain family members due to their behavior or drug addictions so that is simply out of the question. I do have a couple close girl friends but not many. I think it would be embarrassing to have a wedding where my groom realizes his bride has no support system. The only thing I can think of, is to invite my cousins, that's about it. Anyone else been in this position? Any thoughts or advice on what I can do?

My fiance and I have been in a relationship for three years. This last year has been really rocky. He was in an accident and ending up getting 30,000$ from a lawsuit. Instead of saving the money or at least just putting a few thousands in savings he uses half of it on a down payment two seated corvette after we had just had a baby 5 months prior. That car put us in a world of trouble. After getting it.. We've almost been evicted from our place three times. Last month he lost his job so I've been paying for everything and all of the bills since. He's been faithful and a good man up until this point. Should I still give the marriage a chance?
