A FEW PAGES, JUST AS THEY ARE
Decide what small means to the two of you
A small wedding can be a ceremony with two guests, a restaurant table of twenty, or a gathering that feels modest within a much larger family. The number alone does not describe the experience. Begin by asking what a smaller group would let you do: share a meal at one table, spend time with each guest, choose a familiar place, or keep public attention manageable.
