Micro wedding is a new term for a small private wedding, as opposed to a "Big Fat Traditional Wedding". Here's a news clip about this 'trend'
Well, we have conducted 'micro weddings' since 2004. They are also called 'elopements', 'small civil weddings', 'city hall weddings', 'pop-up weddings', 'house weddings', 'registry weddings', 'family weddings" and lots of other terms, which basically mean the way your great-grandparents were probably married.
In earlier days, people generally got married at home, in the 'parlour' or outside on the lawn. You got dressed in the bedroom, and the family and local ladies made the wedding brunch.
Today's couples often choose a park, the condo party room, someone's balcony, or a quiet corner of a city landmark, or any place you can gather with a small group for a half hour, the same as you would hold a graduation picnic, a birthday party, or just any little celebration. Dress-up is optional!
Feel free to write me with any questions, and I'm happy to make suggestions.
Save the funds you would have spent on the 'big fat' wedding - and go on a travel adventure!
