Hey there! My fiancé and I are planning a small wedding ceremony in the little church we attend, close to our house. We both found love for the Lord there, were baptized together there, delt with the loss of our two babies there, and have created a bond bigger than the two of us with God, in that church. With that being said, we chose our church for our ceremony. ANYWAYS.... Neither of us want to spend thousands on a reception, we are hiring a professional photographer and plan on going to a different location after the ceremony with family and friends who attened to take pictures and for my fiancé and I to have pictures. BUT we were going to plan a small, backyard reception and we were still looking close to 2k.
