Three huge weddings of close ties I have seen and I have really liked.. but I rather have a simple ceremony with meaningful reminders of our love.. how it began and where it has come to.. so to me a simple meaningful gathering in a small church with a pastor and priest some family and relatives, and college friends will do.. not to mention looking forward to a grand get a way trip.

I think you've answered your own question. What type of wedding is best depends on the bride and groom and their families. The best type of wedding is one that expresses you and your love, because it's supposed to be your day!

A simple wedding is so much more meaningful!! Do you honestly want every single person that you even smiled at to be there?? I am having a destination wedding with about 70 people, close family and friends and I am so excited. I know that these 70 people will feel just how much we love each other and come away with something so special. If that is the kind of wedding that you want versus a huge party then go for the smaller wedding.

It really depends on the event. I've seen small wedding that were terrible and impersonal. I've seen 'complex' weddings that were incredibly thoughtful. Small doesn't have to mean 'simple' - it can still be elegant and the best of the best but be more personal.
I'm a big fan of smaller weddings unless the person has lots of cash to spend on the event and plans on making it a personal experience for everyone. I'd much rather go to a small 25 person wedding with great food, good wine, and fun happenings than a 200 person wedding with bad music, bad food, and a no-host bar. But, I'd also rather go to a large wedding with all the bells and whistles than a small wedding in which no thoughts were put towards making the guests happy.

Your wedding is so personal. Do what you feel is best and what would be what you've dreamed of. Besides, if you've just been to three huge weddings of close friends, do something different. For me, I'm a Wedding DJ and have seen so many huge weddings it is sickening. When I got married, it was very small and intimate, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. No co-workers, no second cousins, no big hassles..just close friends and family.
We saved a lot of money, but that was less important than having what we wanted.

Keep it simple and bank the money you save.
I had to loan a friend 1750 dollars at the last minute to help him to pay for the wedding. He has been paying it off for a whole year, remortgaging the house just to make it by.
The key is that you are both in love. The wedding is a symbol of what is already important. Dont be pressured by family to do anything more than what you want to do. If they want it bigger, they can pay for it!

It's going to be the best most memorable wedding - because it's yours! My wedding was big, and to me it was the best and most memorable wedding ever! I was able to share it with every single family member and a whole bunch of close friends. I wouldn't have traded it for anything. But it's not the size of the wedding that matters. In the end it's your vows and your new marriage and the people that you were able to share it with - even if you only invited your parents! Good luck!

Personally, Im getting married in 5 months and it is going to be a small wedding. I like being close with family and friends on that day. I think small is better because it is more of all family there and its more rememberable. Yes a large wedding would have its ups, but I like small. It all depends on what you like.

The wedding on a grand scale is more for the guests than for the couple. Small weddings w/o all the pomp and circumstance are more meaningful as it shows you're doing this for you, not everyone else.
Still, its your choice.

You got the idea! I had a small wedding and it was still the wedding of my dreams. We wanted small wedding with a fantastic honeymoon! I mean the wedding is about the two of you not the entire world. My wedding with the honeymoom was $7000!

To me, spending loads on a lavish wedding just seems like a huge waste of money. It wont make your marriage last longer and to me, a huge wedding just seems a bit unimaginative. Smaller weddings are best. They are more intimate and often have more thought go into them.

this is truly as much as YOU and your FIANCE. no person else. this isn't any one else's corporation--no remember what absolutely everyone else thinks. And, in spite of absolutely everyone else thinks is NONE OF your corporation. understanding that would desire to alleviate an mind-blowing form of the stress. look, in case you may no longer comfortably take care of to pay for it (by that I advise if the value of the marriage/reception will take better than 50% of your short-term decrease value costs), do no longer pass into debt attempting to stay as much as different persons' expectancies. they do no longer look to be residing your life--you stay your life. My spouse and that i've got been given married in San Francisco's city corridor--an stylish, turn-of-the-twentieth-century development with a attractive rotunda. We invited my kin individuals and our firends (her kin individuals are all in another country)--20 - 25 human beings, had an mind-blowing dinner at a close-by restaruant, and spent approximately $600 for the comprehensive affair--no longer counting gown/tux, hair, etc. definitely everyone had an mind-blowing time, and we had lots of money for an mind-blowing honeymoon in China--and Hawaii right here twelve months. i wanted an excellent, lavish affair, yet could no longer take care of to pay for it. an excellent lavish affair did no longer mesh with our long-term goals of making an investment and retiring as quickly as we could like. merely remember to and your fiance are on an identical internet site while it incorporates your long-term economic goals, are working in the direction of those goals mutually, and which you savour life. otherwise, why are you 2 mutually?
