Answer 2

The moment might only last 5 minutes, or an hour, depending on the type of service you have, but if you have a really big family and your fiance also has a really big family, and you want your family to share in your joy, then you have a big wedding. My niece, who is getting married in June. They are expecting about 700 guests and are having two additional receptions in the groom's home state because of extended families and numerous friends. The wedding will be outdoors, casual with a simple buffet dinner, friends and family are all pitching in to help with decorations, sewing bridesmaids dresses, the brides family designed, and printed the invitations. Her brother will be the photographer. He is quite good. Both families are also musical and the groom is in a band as is his oldest brother so there will be some very good music for dancing and during the ceremony.

You don't have to have some fancy schmancy catered sit down dinner to have a memorable wedding.

Answer 3

I don't think the size of a wedding matters. I think each couple needs to decide for themselves how many guests to invite. There are a lot of couples who have very large families and a lot of personal family friends, so a large wedding wouldn't be unexpected in these situations. For example, my father is a minister. Because of this, we personally have a lot of close family friends who helped basically raise us and support us. When including all these people and our families, our guest list was over 300 people and that was even after cutting some guests who we weren't "as close" to. So it really just depends. Most weddings last about 30 minutes. It may be less if there aren't as many rituals or more if there is a mass. Regardless of how long it may take, weddings should be celebrated with all of the people who a couple feels is important to be there. So if it's 10 people or 1000 people, each couple has the right decide what's best for them

Answer 4

I think people have big weddings to impress there friends and family when really a wedding day should be YOUR special day, not your FREINDS and FAMILIES special day.

My advice would be to have a smaller intiment wedding with the people who REALLY matter in your life and let them know this day is about YOU and YOUR special day.

Then take all of the money you saved on the smaller wedding and use it for a knock your socks off honey moon.

This is what me and my wife did and I have been to many weddings since that cost crazy amounts of money but were not nearly as special as our day in our opinion.

You will find by having a smaller wedding the event will end up being much more special and even if you splurge on your honemoon you will most likely spend far less $$. The side benefit to this is that you begin your Marriage in a financially sound way rather than in a huge debt that will end up destroying your marriage down the road.

Answer 5

It depends on the folks involved. My wedding will be nearly an hour long if I'm lucky since it will be a Catholic wedding with a mass. I really wouldn't want more than 15 people there but that would be unfair to our friends and family that love and care about us and want to share the day with us. There mostly likely won't be more than 100 people there but after 31 years on this earth we have a lot of folks that want to embrace us as we start our lives together.

Answer 6

I'm with you. I dont understand big expensive weddings. All the money you're spending on the wedding you could save and use as a downpayment on a house. I think couples should concentrate more on the marriage and less on the wedding. The memories that you're going to keep forever will be in your heart forever. Not because you spent $50,000 more than you're neighbor are you going to have better memories of your wedding.

Answer 7

The wedding consists of planning, actual exchange of vows, reception, for some people even honeymoon makes the wedding.

Why have it big?

Why not? Some people drive big cars or live in big houses. It's all a matter of opinion.

My wedding was small because I am not about big things and my family is very small.

Answer 8

Well...I am having a large wedding. SO far it is 250 people. These people are special to my life or my fiancee's life in some way and we would like to share it with everyone. It is a chance to catch up with people you haven't seen and to allow everyone to celebrate what a great couple we are and that true love does exist. I am getting thr RSVP's back like crazy with everyone soo excited for the big day. It excites me to see that so many people want to be a part of the big day. It's awesome.

Answer 9

if you have a big family. my husband has a huge family so we invited a good amount of them. we had 150 people there.

really it was a lot longer than 5 minutes. the ceremony was like 20 minutes. then the guests went right into the reception hall and danced and ate and drank for 3 hours.

they all seemed to enjoy it :)

Answer 10
