What kind of wedding should I have? There are not a lot of people!?

My fiance and I originally just wanted to get married at the County Clerk's office seeing as how we both not too big on weddings. We just found out that the judge no longer marries couples, we are just provided with the marriage license. What do we do? Our guest list would be anywhere from 5-10 people (if that) and we wanted something intimate. Any suggestions?

    If you don't want a big destination wedding then why don't you think about this -

    Get a minister or pastor along with your small guest list & make it special. Like -

    The location of your first kiss or where you two first said I love you.

    Does your town have a pretty gazebo or a small park you can use?

    What about a friend's backyard or patio?

    A local lake or pond where the water looks nice for pictures. (Just not a long hike/walk for guests)

    Somewhere that's unique & special to you two. I know someone who got married at an old drive in theatre because they are car lovers. They invited all their friends to bring their antique cars to show off.

    Another friend got married at the historic bank in town. It has a pretty garden behind it so they said their vows there. You can really choose nearly any location with such a small guest list. So make it everything you want it to be! Congrats!

    Look into finding an officiant that can marry you or a pastor from a church. You can even have a family member get ordained and marry you both. Look into a local restaurants that might have some form of garden that you can have a simple ceremony, then have dinner there. Don't get to stressed. I'm sure it will work out perfectly.

    Good Luck!

    Destination!

    That would be fun...invite the people really close to you to come with as you get married in Mexico or something.

    But if you don't have the money for that (like me) then why not just book a small restaurant just for you and your few guests, decorate it how you want...simple, intimate, "easy".

    OR, if it's a summer wedding, have in it someone's backyard. You could do a bbq type thing, decorate the yard really cute...it would be super fun!

    My brother got married at his house. It was very inexpensive, and was intimate, and I really enjoyed it. The family did all the food. The house was decorated nicely, and the justice of the peace just came to the house to perform the ceremony. If you are having that few of people, this is the way to go for sure.

    Make a reservation at a local restaurant that you know and love and have the celebration there. I'm sure that they can accommodate the # of guests that you are expecting.

    Source(s): Bride to be. We were going to get married by a judge but my MIL to be didn't want it. She was able to ask her Pastor to marry us. It worked out perfectly.

    If you live near the ocean you could have a beach wedding. Those are best when there are few guests.

    Just make reservations at a decent restaurant. You do not need to rent a hall, figure a menu, book a band etc.

    You can try looking for a Justice of the Peace to preform the ceremony for you.

    At home, in your backyard, your parents' backyard, a restaurant, the park, the beach...

    Reception could follow at home or at a restaurant.
