Would you find this distasteful?

I do not like the idea. A school cafeteria wedding sound tacky to me. I also do not like the idea of having board games as centerpieces. Have you considered someone's backyard? In any event, since you have little money, why not go to the courthouse with a small reception at a restaurant or your living room to follow? I think it is better to have something small but decent, than large but tacky.
