Microweddings have become a popular alternative to more traditional, larger events.
According to The Knot, a microwedding has 50 guests or fewer, but some might have as few as one guest to serve as a witness.
Photos of microweddings show that these smaller celebrations aren't any less special, meaningful, or beautiful than a larger wedding.

A wedding is still something to celebrate no matter how many guests attend.
