I'm getting married on June 25th. I've pretty much been in planning mode since we got engaged on November 14, 2010.
Some people give me a face when I describe my wedding to them. Sean and I decided pretty much from the start that we wanted a small, but nice wedding. Neither of us was interested in feeding our guests a full meal. We decided on finger foods & punch/champagne. We decided not to have a bridal party (gasp!). We knew that we wanted to spend the majority of our money on the honeymoon.Which we did.
It's frustrating at times. Sean and I are paying for everything ourselves. It would be nice, for once in our lives, that we get financial help for something so important. It would be nice to be given money for just our wedding. At times, I wish we had this because it kind of would be nice to have all of the traditional things. And a bigger wedding. But, the reality is that we're paying for this shin-dig ourselves.
All-in-all...it doesn't matter where we get married or how many people are there. I think there's too much emphasis placed on the wedding and not the marriage. I'm excited to marry Sean. He's the love of my life - my best friend. We could get married in a barn for all I care. I just wish the time would tick down faster. 110 days!
you guys will be married for a million years, so you can always have another ceremony that's bigger and filled with lots of wedding cakes when you guys have tons of cash.
