Awesome location and wedding! I am a Arizona native currently living in Norway. These photos make me remember all of the coolness of AZ! Love it!

I am also planning a small, inexpensive wedding at a local historic pub, much to my mother's horror. As expected, some of my family and my fiance's kind of balked, but since we are paying for it ourselves, they get no say so. Like you, we'd rather have a small and intimate, simple ceremony and save up for a nice honeymoon later.

Word of advice, CFry, it is YOUR wedding, and your family will come around. After four weeks, even my mother is now starting to come around and now wants to be involved. Stay true to what you and your fiance want, and don't let anyone's negativity or doubts get in the way. Best of luck.

oh yes,
also. I am trying to do the same thing (small wedding, nice expensive honeymoon on Vietnam) how did your family react to this? I am afraid mine is going to freak out and probably disown me (add it to the list of things I will probably be disowned for…lol)

Yes, just the type of inspiration I need. I myself am looking for a dress that is not white, and wanting to spend the money on a honeymoon and not some lavish ordeal that has nothing to do with my taste. We are trying to keep it simple and your post gave me great ideas. Thank you for sharing.

I loved the pics from this wedding! Such great ideas and a fabulous location. I was also a Phoenix bride and I wish I would have checked out downtown locations. Hard to find great places that are not golf resorts here…

I got to go to this wedding!!! I loved all of it. The dress, the bouquet, the cupcakes, and most of all, the relaxed atmosphere. It was wonderful. Why don't you two renew your vows soon? I'd like to attend.
