Me I would like to have a nice simple wedding like in my parents back yard and have the reception in a modest banquet hall. I would want to save the rest of the money for a honeymoon or a house.

I'm with you... I'm getting married in March, and we're having a relatively small wedding (60 people), and going with inexpensive options. Elegant, but inexpensive.... negotiate where you can to get good quality for less money. That's what I'm doing!

well i just saw the film made of my aunty's wedding...it wasn't too bad but it did have some of the old traditions going on which i definetly do NOT want..the things people believe are just stupid, honestly. i'm the same as you (even though im far from my wedding lolz =P) i just want a nice, quiet kind of wedding - no music, no dancing or anything like that at all. I'll invite everyone and anyone i know =D I'll have the best wedding dress EVER and the venue would be decorated bootifully with lots of ribbons n flowers everywhere ^_^ I'm not sure where it's from but i've also heard that a quiet wedding is better for the couple than a loud wedding - like they'll have a better life together ^_^

You know, the back yard thing might be okay, but I'd prefer a park, or the beach. Someplace very pretty, that has a pavillion or shelter in case it rains.
My daughter's reception was catered, only because I was a working Mom, and didn't have time or energy to carry that all off by myself. But, if you have lots of people who are willing to work on it, a reception where everyone brings the food can work well.
I was married at the Justice of the Peace, and that was too small, too simple. A simple wedding is fine, if you have a way to make it special.

At the time I got married (over 8 years ago) I thought that I would be happy with not having a traditional wedding. No dancing, no meal, no really big party.
I regret dearly not doing it. We are now in the process of planning our 10th anniversary which will be a dinner and dnacing reception, however, we both know its not going to be the same. You cant recreate your wedding day.
I know that people say "its not about your wedding of one day, its about your marriage of a lifetime" but for me the wedding would have been the perfect kick-off into a great marriage and I wanted it. And though I would never be sad that I married my husband, I am very sad that I didnt do the whole wedding thing with all the bells and whistles.

I'm going semi-extravagant, as extravagant as I can on my parents budget they gave me! Its 150-200 people, (haven't gotten invites out to have responce cards back!) 7 bridesmaids, 4 groomsmen, church wedding, banquet hall buffet dinner, 6pm formal, and I am very lucky to have my parents off to foot the bill for everything, and I am sooooo grateful that the somewhat knew that I always wanted the big wedding, and are willing to give me that, they are the best, cuz they sure don't have to pay for anything, so I am so willing to work with their numbers, and I'm having a beautiful wedding this march thats gonna be plenty big and its gonna be the day I always dreamed about! :)

I had an extravagant wedding, and I never regretted it. I've been married for over 25 yrs, and we still reminisce about our wedding and reception. You can't replace that experience, and it will never be able to duplicate it. I've had friends that divorced and remarried, had big weddings on the second marriage. They all said that it was nice, but not like the first one. It is an experience that all little girls dream about, you shouldn't cheat yourself out of it.

look at your budget and whats best. Simple to blown out over the top dose not matter. It's a union of two souls coming together is what important. Your right, spend some of the money on your honeymoon and most importantly a house.

I would prefer a simple wedding. The money spent on the wedding could be used for the new home instead.

I don't want a wedding, but my partner convinced me that it would be good for our families, so I have to put my selfishness aside for a day. Our parents will be paying. It will be an average traditional wedding. It does bother me sometimes that our parents are throwing away thousands of dollars, but it's their money and their choice. It makes them happy, so good for them. If you, your family and friends will be happy with a simple wedding, good for you.

I would have a small elegant wedding. Too large and you wont get time to spent with your guests, and it costs way too much money. Smaller elegant weddings are much nicer for the guests and the couple!
