Urban or Nature? The settings/ offset dilemma

Which is more ecological? An outdoor wedding in a park, where people have to drive to get there, or an urban wedding where your guests can walk or take public transit?
Hard to tell -- depends on your own logistics. Of course you could offer a donation to a wildlife area as part of your wedding, because you don't want to go tramping through the native plants and wetlands - or you could have just the family attend an outdoor ceremony -- or have it in an urban park which needs your support --

Here's another thought: I was going to go and pick some stuff to can from an urban farm in toronto, and noted pickyourown.org. It's a primitive site, but it does discuss wedding parties at this urban farmstead. So how about a wedding/ reception at an organic farm? (provided you get there by mass transit, hybrid bus, etc.). And of course it would be great to make your dinner from their produce. I wonder if any Mennonite farms would host such a wedding -- think of the pies!

Just google your state or province and find the local certified organic organization, like: NorthEast NY Organic Farming Association .

Note the Bee and Mead festival! My son made the mead for our daughter's wedding - light and dry and bubbly and delicious. (And we made the wine for his wedding - not quite dry enough :). Start planning now to make your own homemade quaffs!
