    Thanks girls, I think I just needed a bit of reassurance.. I don't know why, but I'm letting myself be bothered about what people MIGHT say... The more I think about it, the more I love the idea. I told my mum about it today and she is having a heap of good ideas!

    We will get it catered (by a friend who is a chef and runs a small catering business). I have also already emailed her to see what she thinks and she is stoked to do it for..... drumroll........ $14 pp for a full dinner meal portion of canapes. She is brilliant, and her food is really really good!

    Kimmi, I think your wedding will be gorgeous and create so many happy memories for you, your partner and your family.

    I've been to two weddings of friends who got married in either their backyard or their parents' place and they were both beautiful. It felt so special and intimate.

    Congratulations and enjoy x

    That's what I'm hoping for Buffy1! We just want our wedding to be beautiful and symbolic of how much we love each other.... We don't need to spend $20,000 to do that!

    Kimmi, it doesn't matter what anyone thinks of your wedding, if this is what you want - do it!

    I had a very low budget, low key wedding on my parents property and everyone told me it was the best and most relaxed wedding they'd ever been to. I loved it and that was all that mattered to me anyway.

    That is a great idea!!! You can do SOOO much to dress up an outdoor area! It will be amazing to look over your backyard as you guys grow old and be able to say that's where you got married!!!

    Who cares about anyone else, people need to remember that being invited to someone's wedding is an absolute priviledge!!! It's not a right to be there but an honour to be there and the day is about YOU and YOUR FUTURE HUSBAND... not anyone else. Do what you guys want, what makes you happy!!!
