~We wanted an outdoor wedding, that was easy. I don't like banquet halls personally, it's just not for me. And as far as the pictures go, you just can't beat being outdoors.
~We wanted to have things to do other than dancing, we don't like dancing. Having our wedding outdoors allows us to have a more relaxed, picnic, family reunion style wedding day. It just suits us more.
~We didn't like the idea of having to rent a park because we wanted control over how long we use the facility and where we set things up. Plus, we didn't want to deal with alcohol restrictions.
~Somehow we came up with the idea of using the Tinsey residence in Ortonville. They have a fairly large yard, a beautiful home, and neighbors who are family if we need some space in their yard. I almost didn't want to ask because it's a huge imposition, but I am glad that the Tinseys are willing to open their home up to our wedding festivities. It will be nice to spend the whole day somewhere that actually means something to us :)
I think it is a great idea -- and I think it will be a beautiful place for a wedding.
