Can't make a decision

No! Sweetie don't be sad! I know a courthouse ceremony isn't what you expected or dreamed about but... Isn't the goal being with the one you love? I mean in the future you could do a big puffy fancy wedding!
Have you gone venue hunting? Have you tried seeing other options?

My options are really slim because everyone seems to be frustrated with me we found a venue in my local area but I don't like the venue it's small . I sound ungrateful cause I keep crying and just saying I don't like things cause it's not a wedding ...

yes it matters to marry the one I love but i know myself and I'm not going to do this twice . So I want to do it right the first time

If you don't want to get married in a court house, don't. What's the problem? Not being able to find a venue? Budget? These are all things you can easily work around.

Don't do a courthouse wedding if it will make you sad.

You shouldn't be forced into something that you dont want. Push out the date and save up for what really makes you happy?

Maybe push back the date and save up? Are you and future hubby religious? Church weddings don’t cost and arm and a leg. Maybe do the ceremony in a church or other house of worship and a small dinner reception. Cutting down the guest list can also reduce pricing and anxiety. Don’t feel like you’re ungrateful honey, most girls dream of their wedding day and want to have their moment. My sister got married in the courthouse and she has no regrets, but if you feel like you will regret it take some more time to look for another option.

If you can’t find a venue in your budget right now, maybe push the date out for a bit until you can save for the wedding you want. I would have a long discussion with FH only and let him know a courthouse wedding isn’t what you want. It is your wedding too and you should be happy about it. If you don’t want to push the date out, do the courthouse wedding now and then a vow renewal in a few years when you have the funds for your dream wedding.

Check out your local parks department. There are lots of public places (parks, campgrounds, etc.) that are really inexpensive to rent for the day. You usually have to go through the city or county to get permits for this, but it's also a lot cheaper than most "wedding" venues. Also, depending on how many guests you would like to have, a local restaurant can be a great and more affordable venue. Museums, art galleries, botanical gardens, theaters, historic mansions/buildings are all different kinds of places that may be options for you. Don't let others' frustrations stop you.

Don't give up your dream. It may take more time to achieve, but anything is possible. FH and I pushed our date out farther, so we could save more money for the exact kind of wedding we want. I'm like you, I only want to do this once. Keep searching! You'll find the right place.

Hey Dana!! Have you found a wedding venue hat you both love yet?
