Outdoor Marriage Is Not Everyone's Cup Of Tea

By Cheryl Bayley

Many couples dream of getting married in the splendid surrounds of nature. Whether on a summer beach or in an autumn field, it is a fantastic way to celebrate your engagement. That said, outdoor weddings are not for everyone. This guide is intended to guide you through the decision of whether to get married outdoors or not.

Several reasons could speak against outdoor marriage. For instance, if you are not fan of the unexpected, you are better off with a traditional indoor wedding. The outdoors are a fickle place, and lots can go differently than expected if you hold a ceremony with a lot of guests. Do if you or your spouse doesn't like surprises, better to avoid getting married outdoors.

One specific reason for not getting married outdoors is if you would be disappointed by the weather turning sour, Of course you can take precautions, such as hiring umbrellas in the case that the ceremony is interrupted by unexpected rain, but if changing weather is something you'd rather do without, find a building to get married in.

While a good wedding organizer can work wonders, outdoor marriage will still place extra stress on you, and will force you to make extra decisions, sometimes at the last minute. Don't get wed outside if you would rather not have to handle this on the day of your nuptials.

Also, have you considered what your guests think of the great outdoors? Maybe not all of them are fit enough to stand outside fro the time of the ceremony, and this especially applies to elderly people, and possibly also to the very young. If there are several members of your party that would be inconvenienced by on outdoor wedding, don't do it.

OK - now about the considerations that speak FOR an outdoor wedding. First of all, an outdoor marriage ceremony will be an absolutely memorable thing, and will delight your guests far more than an indoor one. If you want your wedding to be remembered, get married outdoors.

Another great reason is if you have a good reason to get married in a specific place, such as an emotional attachment. Maybe it is in your ancestral country home that you want to get married, or maybe where the proposal happened on a camping trip?

If there are any pets that you would like to partake in the wedding, whether dogs, cats or other animals, it makes perfect sense to hold the marriage ceremo0nmyn and possibly the entire event outside.

One thing that definitely helps is if you are an organized person, and are able to adapt to a plan B if the main option cannot go ahead. A good wedding organizer can help on this point, if organization is not your strong suit
