Am I crazy for just wanting a small wedding or even just getting married at a courthouse just the 2 of us plus our little one? We aren’t big event people, never have been. Planning and paying for a wedding just seems like a lot. There is pressure for us to throw a wedding 😳

A wedding is about you and person u love, it should be exactly how you want it ❤️ can always do something small with family after to celebrate

I say do it as you want to do it.
So much less pressure that way!

This is exactly what I want, you do have to have two witnesses though!

Nope we got married just our parents and us then had a destination wedding with 15 guest

I got married at the courthouse. It was great.
10 years later and we’re going to do an anniversary party that’s the wedding we never had.

For our wedding our parents rented an event room in a restaurant, my husband's best friend got ordained, & we had maybe 20 people. Then, a few months later, we rented a hall for a larger reception.
After their weddings we had 2 friends tell us they wished they did what we did because it was so much less stressful & cost-effective.

When me and my fiance get married we will just go to the courthouse or have a tiny wedding with our parents and siblings

I got married in an office building lol just me and my husband. We weren’t even standing the guy just had us sitting across from his desk in chairs. Gave him a check for $100 and went on our way married

We decided to get married in our backyard with few friends and family . Very simple afternoon get together.

My husband and I eloped in September and it was the most beautiful thing we could have done. We have no regrets and would do it 10x over as it suited us perfectly. We still made a day of it and got married in a mini castle on the coast, we had our dog, my mum and dad and my husband’s brother. We then went to the beach for photos and out for dinner then bed! It was perfect and just for us. Of course people will have something to say about it but they will probably moN about a wedding too lol
I recommend everyone elopes/has a micro wedding!
Also you will save ££££ haha

As a neurodivergent introvert who camouflages as a social butterfly OCCASIONALLY, make your vows as special as you can make them in whatever setting is most meaningful to you. Then, celebrate with others however you feel is most FUN 🎉 We eloped with our besties and officiant, then had an evening reception a few months later at a local casual winery that let us bring our own caterer. It was as affordable as possible & really great for us! Money was spent on the dress, photographer who captured our vows, reception caterer & winery.

oh my gosh that is BRILLIANT! An event room at a restaurant?! Dude. I’m sharing this idea with friends. So cost effective & practical & everybody eats asap 🤣🙌🫶
