We had a "come as you are", 15 min ceremony in a song bird sanctuary and then ate potluck food and drinks provided by our guests instead of gifts. We didn't have A wedding cake, we had an entire table full. Our wedding pictures came from disposable cameras we handed each guest and that they put in a basket at the end of the afternoon.
People should have whatever they like.
