The place that held our ceremony was one of those drive thru type places in Reno you see on TV lol (odd thing is my parents and some of my best friends were married at the same place years ago, my parents are almost celebrating thier 30th anniversery and my friends are in the 40 year range). I know that if you wanted more than a cirtian number of people at the actual ceremony it cost extra. I know a lot of places (including casinos) that charge extra for attendence when it comes to the ceremony.

I think the reception is where the celebration starts anyhow
