Ours turned out the same way. We planned to go to a Justice of the Peace on the earliest day allowed after getting our license, which happened to fall on a Monday. A Martin Luther King, Jr. Monday. By noon on MLKJr day, after we realized no JP would come to work on a national holiday, we buzzed up a friend who had gotten ordained as a prank during a party years ago to officiate. We told all of our friends and family that anyone who could find the bed and breakfast I worked at as a massage therapist was welcome to join us (the B&B was kinda hidden out in the woods).
We had two family members present, about 28 friends, one of whom brought a cake, another brought me a bouquet from her garden, another took pictures and another brought beer. Other than the couple who were bottle feeding a baby goat at the back of the crowd during the ceremony (they couldn't leave it out in the cold but they swore they weren't going to miss out on the party), it was a surprisingly typical ceremony when you consider the total lack of planning that went into it.
