Originally I wanted to do an elopement with just myself & fh... and then my mom got upset because she had always imagined me surrounded by family. (And I had too, I just never thought I'd be able to afford and actual wedding.) As I've done the research, the price tag is not something that either of us really want to put that much money towards. I've been making a pros & cons lists (hurting other's feelings, not getting the same feeling as a bigger wedding). I see on here all the time about brides who ditched the big wedding (our idea of big is 80 people!) and bringing it down to just 20, or less. Anybody out there that can give advice as to how to make the decision?
