Congrats & happy new year!
We also opted for less of a convential wedding.
We had a very small wedding-- less than 30 people held outside of a lovely
inn in Vermont.  Afterwards we did champagne outside and then a luncheon at
another nearby inn.  No dancing!  You can make it as traditional as you
want.   I never had any regrets about this...Just be sure your fiance
agrees!  If all else fails you can always take dancing lessons!   Several of
my friends did this before they got married.
Good luck!
