do you have what your ideal wedding would be like? if so what is that.. or would you just rather elope and not have to deal with the insanity of a wedding?

I've always thought of myself as a traditionalist, but as I've gotten older I've started to think that weddings are an absolute waste of money. My fiancee and I are planning to go to Jamaica - alone! - and get married, and come back and have a reception with our friends and family. So many put too much emphasis on the wedding; as far as I'm concerned, it's ONE DAY. The Marriage is what's important, and that's the rest of your life.

I know a million people who will tell you I'm crazy, but I had14 months to plan my wedding, and I've been so organized with the whole thing that it isn't remotely stressful. I'm honestly searching for things to do that are wedding related. And we are doing a ton of DIY stuff. I say go for the big wedding, I'm having a blast planning it. I just wish I had more things to do. And no, I'm not having a simple wedding by anymeans. I just don't understand why so many people freak out over the trival things. If you don't spend your time freaking out that the bridesmaids dresses don't match the table clothes, then things are very smooth. And planning a wedding isn't nearly as stressful as most people make it seem.

My dream was to elope on a beach somewhere, but my father was unable to make it and don't it without family and friends was not something I personally would do.. So I am having the big elegant wedding (very expensive, and stressful) I am planning it myself (and w/ groom) it does get stressful, and catering to people's needs (parents want this and that is annoying)
Personally go with what ever you want deep down, my fianance told me that we can do the big wedding now, and have all our friends and family there, then in 10 years we will go on the Wedding of my dreams and renew our views on a beautiful beach.. :)

elope is fine but don't u want to share this very important moment of your life with your friends and family?...so u can have pictures to look at after years...to remember how the best man got realy drunk...or how he thought he lost the rings...or how the girl with the basket of roses triped and fall down in front of the priest...and a lot of priceless things like that...u can go for a wedding outside.

I've always dreamed of having a wedding on the beach, so what my fiance and I are going to do is go to the bahamas for a week on a wedding moon, then have a casual cookout reception with all of our friends and family when we come back. It's the best of both worlds!!!

My hubby and I wanted to get married with out any one there but then family where like you have to let some one come and things like that so it ended up in a big wedding and loads of people must say it was a great day and we had loads of fun. Some people just like peace and quiet with out the family and things to sort out as there is a lot to sort.
I would do the big day again. Lovely when your parents are there.

Weddings don't necessarily have to be insane, if you go about it in a pretty organized way. I wouldn't give up the memory of my wedding for anything. But it's different for everyone I think.
For me, family is the most important. My husband and I both have huge families and both they and we would have been disappointed if we hadn't been able to share that day with them.

my husband and i were planning a wedding, we tried to imagine our families getting together and what the day would be like. we realized that the marriage part of it was something that was just between us and very personal, we didn't want to share that with anyone. it was the best decision for us, it was touching and beautiful. each couple should do what is best for them and them only not for anyone else.
