I just recently got engaged and am stressing over planning a wedding. My fiancé and I don't have a lot of money right now and we really don't want to ask our family for help when they are struggling, too. I thought about having a small courthouse wedding with our closest friends and family and maybe a dinner afterwards. But then I think about missing out on a beautiful wedding with the rest of our family and friends. And our parents keep telling us we'll regret a courthouse wedding due to personal experiences. Truthfully, we just want to start our lives together and the sooner the better. I just need some opinions and words of wisdom. Courthouse wedding now or "proper" wedding towards the end of the year?
