If you don't know what you want, then what does your partner want?
I had a small wedding in the middle of the week and love it. We were happy. But we were happy cause we chose it. I think you'll be happy with whatever you choose. My friend went to the county office to get married and then a month later they had a huge party to celebrate. They were so happy. Talk to your partner and do what will make you happy. That's the best way to go.

I've been married before and had a small wedding. To be honest, it was nice but the best part was the honeymoon. The wedding was nerve racking but the honeymoon was settling. I am divorced however for six years now! I look back though! I am currently engaged to someone for 2 years now! I want a huge wedding on the 5 acres we bought 2yrs ago. But, I realistically, I want to put all the money into the honeymoon this time...go to the courthouse and spend the $50, then spend the grands on the honeymoon and go to Hawaii, Bahamas, Vegas or where ever!!!! Buy a new king size bed instead, or a hot tub for you guys, go to a bath house! Weddings are so dramatic, hectic and breath taking all in the same! Do what you feel you need to do!

My wife and I spent 600 dollars on our wedding. We have been married for four years and have two little children and we are doing great. Our wedding was a blast and we wouldn't do it different looking back on it. Our philosophy is that if people invested as much time in their marriage and relationship that most invest in their wedding then we wouldn't see so many divorces as we do today. Whether big or small, just remember not to get too caught up in it and focus on each other.
P.S. As far as the court house thing, we considered that, but we also felt like we did our family a huge favor by having a wedding. I think it's good for them to see it happen.

Small Weddings are coming back, really the expense you pay for the banquet halls and their food is not worth it. The food is sometimes cooked the day before. I recently attended a small Wedding of fifty people, even thou the Bride had a very large family, she decided on only fifty; the Wedding took place at a restaurant and believe me the food was amazing the attention to us as guests was exceptional. Sometimes small Weddings bring back such a personalized feeling. It's really amazing the attention that was given to the Bride and Groom it felt like such a romantic day. It was great.

if you want a small wedding go for it you will love yourself in the end (have family and close friends)
if you want a big wedding (go all out and spend a lot of money on everything)
courthouse if OK but not for everyone.
do what your heart desires.

That depends on many things, money, what the 2 of you want, how inmportant this day is to both of you and what kind of memories you want.
When you sit down and talk about it I`m sure the answer will be very easy!
Keep in mind, if you serve God, I say do it in His house whether it is formal with many guest or just the two of you and your attendants, like you would at the courthouse!
Reguardless, I pray you will have a long and happy marriage! Rev.Susan

I think this is a very personal decision, it comes down to what you can afford, and if you want to start married life in debt paying for a wedding you cannot afford. My groom had opinions on what he wanted from the event as well, and we have planned according to both of our feelings, we have kept it small (just family to the wedding itself at the registry office) and as relaxed and casual as possible. I have nothing against having a big wedding if that's what people want for their day.

Stay within your means. I don't care if your parents are footing the bill or you are---I think it is not practical to go into debt for a wedding. The money could go as a down payment on a house, or buy furniture etc. Parents go into debt for a huge wedding, and their kids call it quits before they have it paid for!
It is a very special day! Your day! Every time you think of it you want to remember how you looked at each other, laughter music etc.---not dollar signs !

You say 'i know is what i want'
So if this means, you know what kind of wedding you want; then do what you know you want.
A wedding is a wedding... where ever the ceromonie is performed....it is the years after I would be concerned about (joke)....lol
Just get married anyway you wish too, and be Happy.
Good Luck

My wedding was medium sized, in a church with a reception. For all the hassle of putting up with everyone, making all the arrangements, and actually going through with it I would have rather eloped and spent the money on a sweet trip to another country.
