If your family and friends want to help you do what you want, please let them. We tried to avoid having anyone help us financially because we didn’t feel like it was anyone’s place to pay for something we made the decision to do or let anyone think they were going to tell us what to do with our wedding just because they paid for something. What advice do you have for couples who are considering an intimate wedding?īrittany: There will still be stress, no matter how small unless you really just elope. Seeing everyone’s faces when they got to the waterfall (that none of them had seen before) and how amazing it all was instead of trying to bob and weave around the people in the chairs in front of them was excellent.Ĭameron: The personal touch. We came in, got our taco bar feast on, danced, and had fun with everyone there after we filled our tummies. ![]() ![]() It was just like a big family reunion or something. We enjoyed ourselves and all of our guests and we weren’t overwhelmed trying to run around greeting everyone and making sure everything was going okay. What was the best thing about having an intimate wedding?īrittany: Everything. Me and Brittany being able to just sit and talk after everyone else was gone. It was beautiful and was a really important detail for me, because I was always so close with my grandparents.Ĭameron: Mom dancing and making Brittany dance in front of everyone for our first dance. There was so much love that day, it still makes me a little emotional thinking about it! Oh and we used my Mamaw’s old Singer sewing machine for our cake stand. Also, one of the highlights was being surrounded by my family and friends laughing and dancing. Our favorite local bluegrass band Tidalwave Road started playing Wagon Wheel when we arrived which was one of my favorite things, because Old Crow Medicine Show has always been a band we’ve shared a deep love for and I introduced Cam to them. It was so simple, which is how we like to keep everything in our lives. What were the highlights of the reception?īrittany: Everything! My aunt and my mom took a whole lot of the planning stress off my shoulders before I went completely mental and with the help of both of our families and friends, the reception was decorated exactly how I imagined it would be. Also, Brittany being late cause she’s always late for everything. It was so perfect in every way I could have imagined he’s never failed to surprise me.Ĭameron: Watching her walk down those steps, cause of how pretty she looked I’ll never forget it. Seeing our families getting out and enjoying the beautiful scenery in the park was incredible. His family made a trail mix and water station, and there was even a little place set off for me to change my shoes since the trail was pretty muddy. The waterfall was running strong that day and Cameron surprised me by setting up little things on the hiking trail to the falls like signs he had made, and pictures of us when we were young. Yahoo Falls is one of our favorite places to visit and has been for many years, so when we realized that it could be an option, we were both immediately dead set on it. What were the highlights of the ceremony?īrittany: All of it was amazing. ![]() We sent out the invitations and went from there. It wasn’t their wedding, however, and we pretty much just politely reminded them that it was up to us who should be there.Ĭameron: We didn’t really have too many issues. Both sides of the family had issues with who they wanted to be invited. It gets confusing though because you feel like you want so many people there, but it makes it so complicated that you lose sight of everything else.ĭid you have any ‘issues’ with the small guest list from friends and family? If so, how did you address them?īrittany: Yes. Was it difficult to pare down the guest list?īrittany: In a way it was. When you really take the time to consider how special an occasion it is, however, it’s easy to see who is actually important to you and should be a part of it. Also, deciding how to narrow down who to invite was a challenge.Ĭameron: Brittany’s stress, and trying to find a venue that wasn’t too big for the amount of people we were planning on having there. Bills are still coming in and work doesn’t pay you to take time off to plan for a wedding. Even planning a small wedding can be challenging when you have a lot going on in your life. What are some of the challenges that you faced planning an intimate wedding?īrittany: My stress. Brittany: Same reason as anybody would, really, to focus on what’s important – two people who really love each other vowing to spend their lives together surrounded by the ones they love the most! And also because Cameron wouldn’t settle for my idea of just eloping on the beach with only the two of us.
