It isn't weather you have a flowing gown or a pair of jeans. Your wedding is yours alone those memories are yours alone. I had a wedding. We both agree the wedding is for the family. We would have been just as happy going to Vegas or the court house just the two of us. Your ceremoney was so romantic as it was just the two of you and for the two of you only. I call that beautiful.

You did have a wedding. You were married to the man you love. The fact that it was held privately in a courthouse doesn't make it not a wedding, and it doesn't make it in any way lame.
If you regret missing the trimmings of flowers and gown and bridesmaids and the big party, you can always hold a church blessing or a reaffirmation of your vows sometime down the line. Such a celebration can include quite a few of the traditional wedding trimmings if you so desire.
And honey, if you're happily married to the man you love, that's something wonderful to celebrate.
Don't regret the wedding you had; enjoy the wonderful marriage it gave you.

I got married the 1st time at 23 we had a church wedding, long story but it lasted only a year. The 2nd time at age 30 husband & I went to the courthouse we now have been married 20 years. It doesn't matter where you have been married all that matters is the love you have between you. And no getting married at the courthouse is not lame! Many people get married there, less expensive and you can save your money for other things you really need.

I haven't found the guy, yet! But seriously, is this regret coming from the ceremony aspect or the get together/family/friends/party aspect? If the later, I would suggest having the reception. I had some friends that wanted to get married in the mountains. They drive, just the two of them, to this place in the mountains of Tennessee, and got married. When they came home, they had a reception for everyone else to get together and give gifts, and watch their wedding video. It really was nice.
BUT, if it's the ceremony, you could always go to a church and have a minister preform a ceremony, and have your families attend. Either way, you can redo the wedding, if you like.

I never wanted a wedding. We were just going to do just the two of us at the beach but I thought years from now I may regret not having a wedding for my friends and family to share. We had one and I'm so glad we did!!!

We had money and family, but still decided to go elope at the court house. Seemed stupid to spend all that money on a wedding, so we used the money to buy a house instead.
Immediate family members were welcome to show up if they wanted to, we only had about 5 people there plus us.
I do not regret it one bit. It was private, special and just for us.

When we first got married we did the same thing. We were on vavcation and got married away. We were young, broke, college students with a baby on the way. Our families were the ones who regretted not being there. We did just have a wedding in April for our anniversary. My dad, step-mom and my sisters threw it for us and it was great. I could have lived without one but I am glad that I did have one. It was a great experience to share with my family.

I didn't have the extravagent wedding. I have a court house wedding. No regrets on getting married there, I only wanted it super small.

Hotmomma, just 3 months ago my wife and I exchanged vows. We married at a hotel on a Sunday of a long weekend and had a commissionaire marry us. As it was not the first marriage for either of us we did attempt to do things as reasonable as possible and my wife made many of the decorations herself. We purchased our rings at a Hock Shop and saved lots of cash using this method also. Do we regret doing things the way we did, not at all. Everyone present had a great time, we are extremely happy and in love, and we had enough to go on a nice honeymoon. Congrats to you also and may you have a long and happy marriage.

We had the huge church wedding and looking back I wish we wouldn't have done all of that. It was a huge expense, our mothers fought, it was stressful and I cried every day over some stupid detail until the wedding was finally over. 13 years later we are still together. So we should have done what we wanted in the first place (Vegas) and not what our parents wanted- please don't regret it.
