I'm getting married at The Venetian in Las Vegas a week from today. Their chapel is very nice. After that a very nice dinner for the friends and family who could come to be part of everything. Not all weddings in Vegas are Elvis weddings or cheap/ghetto. We're having a huge reception in our hometown in July for the people who couldn't make it/weren't invited to Vegas.
That's pretty much what we did, except we had ours in Gatlinburg, TN. It also helped that Gatlinburg was about midpoint between my folks are her folks.
Later my folks hosted a large party for everyone else.... worked out and was cheap.
