Outdoor weddings offer the undeniable magic of natural light and open spaces, but everything that is provided by default indoors (sound, lighting, restrooms, parking) must be arranged on your own.

Deciding how you'll read your vows makes writing them much easier. Your vows only need three things. Follow this order and it flows naturally. One memory that only the two of you share.

If you're torn between a friend and a professional, have the friend give a toast or blessing while a professional MC handles the overall flow. Best of both worlds.
