There is no right or wrong with weddings!! If you don't want to get married in a church - don't! If you don't want a big wedding - don't! It's your day, do what feels right for the two of you. Best Wishes!

Hi. I'm confused by your question.
You want either a big wedding OR a wedding in a church? Why can't you have a big wedding IN a church? I guess I'm confused.
But...you do what YOU want. No one here can tell you what to do. You CAN be married in a Catholic Church as long as you are Catholic and have been baptized. Your groom does not have to be Catholic. Are you currently a member of a parish? If so, speak with your priest about your concerns and ask questions before making a decision.
Good luck!
EDIT: Ok, I guess I was not reading your question right the first time. NO...whatever type of ceremony you plan should only matter to you and your groom. Don't let others influence you. If you have your mind made up for a certain venue, then that is what you should do.

It doesn't matter you do what you want to do however most catholic priests will not marry you if it is not in a Catholic Church. The two of you need to sit down and decide what will make you happy. The best of luck to the two of you.

as the first young lady said, there is no right or wrong with weddings.
as i always say, all you need for a wedding ceremony is the bride and groom, the preacher, a couple of rings and a license. everything else sweetie is just icing on the cake.
don't try to plan your wedding to please everyone - its impossible. do the best you can to keep your parents happy, but don't be pushed into anything you really don't want to do. everytime someone suggests something you smile and say gosh i never thought about that and then continue on with your plans. try to stay calm and do stay within your budget! good luck and have a great marriage!

Both my husband and I went to church our whole lives, and when we decided to marry in a little chapel in Vegas, it really bothered me that we weren´t marrying in a house of worship.
Then, someone on Yahoo Q and A pointed this out to me, and I could have kissed them. A church is not a building, but the people in it. If the church burns down, there is still a "church" made up of the people that attend.
If you´re getting married, God is there. God is everywhere, and if you want, the person who is marrying you can pray for your marriage.
We had biblical readings and the Reverend prayed during our ceremony, and the people who attended love us, and prayed with us, and know God, so you´ll be just fine too!

It depends how important your faith is to you, and what you want in your future life. For example, if you want your marriage to be blessed and sanctified - and receive the Sacrament of Marriage, you would want to get married in a Catholic ceremony.
Another thing to consider is what happens AFTER you get married, if the two of you are planning to have children. Do you want to have faith in your home, do you want to have your children raised Catholic?
Lots of questions to settle here for you. Talk to your parents, talk to your priest, talk to your bf.
The two of you can marry in the Catholic church, as long as your bf agrees to have the children raised Catholic.

have a nice small wedding with your dress and all save money you will need it for other things
if you and him have a different denomination then maybe you should talk because there will be more than what church to go to when you have children

It sounds like you want the works, been a catholic (which is normal). it also sounds like he wants a quicky without tons of fuss,
either way you will take your vows to each other.
the main thing is cost, if you can afford the big day, go for it,(tell him the embarrisment only lasts a day) if it will stretch you or your families budget then scale it down, its no fun been in debt for the next tens years for one day.

What matters is what you and your fiance want and how you want to celebrate your marriage.
Also if parents are contributing financially, you should consider their feelings, but ultimately the choice is yours.
