I got married in a courthouse. I never dreamed of wearing a big poofy encumbering white dress and shuffling inbetween a bunch of pews. We had a nice, short, legal ceremony. Our family and friends were there. My husband and I wore matching slippers (yes, slippers, how awesome is that). He wore white pants with a black shirt, I wore black pants with a white shirt. Afterwards we all went to the nicest little pizza place we know of, had a bite, smiled, talked, congratulated, etc.
It was great. I don't regret not doing the big church thing at all.

I am assuming what you call a courthouse us Brits call a registry office. Whatever is wrong with getting married in a courthouse ? My worry is not where you are getting married but the fact that you seem more concerned about it than what marriage is all about, that's promising to spend the rest of your life with the love of your life. Marriage is not about show and trying to impress other people. My husband and I married over 7 years ago in a registry office, we had 2 guests and the whole event including my dress, wedding rings and our wedding night cost around £200.00. It was the most perfect day of our lives and if we were doing it all again there isn't one thing about it that we would change. Think carefully about what you are doing.

Depends how you feel about it? If you want the big wedding, do the big wedding! but if you want it to just be a low-key in out done thing, get married at the courthouse! my best friend got married at the courthouse and she wore a cute dress and some flip-flops, she looked beautiful!!!!! You don't have to have extravaganza for it to be "the wedding you always dreamed of".

Do you love him?? Can you imagine your life without him?? If you know that you are really in love with this guy then why not. I married my husband at a courthouse but mind you he lived in Germany, flew into Florida to marry me before he was deployed to Afghanistan .. so for us that was the right choice and ultimately this is the two of you decision together. Not your friends or family. In addition.. you can still have that big wedding when you renew your wedding vows.

Hey courthouse, church or wedding chapel. It really doesn't matter. Just do your heart the justice and marry who you love. Think about it this way..... you can have a really nice reception and go on an especially romantic honeymoon if you do not spend so much on the wedding ceremony.
Congrats and good luck on whichever you decide!

At a courthouse meaning it;s not going to be a big grand wedding, but just a get your papers signed and leave sort fo thing? If you have the money and family, friends, and that sort of image of people you see on TV who get big weddings, then do that if you wish it. But if big weddings aren't that important to you, and it's really about your love together, then do the courhouse thing.

I think the important part is the guy, not the courthouse. But that's just me.

The location of where you start your life together isn't important. Because forever is just that.. So there will be plenty of time to make up that dream you feel you are leaving behind. But if you feel strong about giving that up..maybe you are really questioning something else.. Like is he going to continually ask me to settle?
With that being said.. question yourself.. it is a huge step. And really you deserve the best.. don't you?
