My whole life I anticipated having a big white wedding. I got engaged and FH and I booked exactly that, a black tie extravaganza with all the bells and whistles. COVID hit and we postponed a year and I’ve been thinking of doing something different.
The longer I think about it, the more the practical side of my brain is saying the big wedding is a waste of money. I guess it is starting to dawn on me that we’d spend $50,000 on a wedding which no one will remember save for us and the family. I’m now thinking that maybe we do the sensible thing and just have a small garden ceremony followed by a nice dinner, just with our family (15-20 people). After all, all that matters is that we get married (and eat cake!!) right?
What I’m wondering, for my fellow brides who originally had big dreams but decided to do something smaller and simpler - did you regret going ahead with your original plans?
