Hi everyone!
My fiance and I got engaged in March and have started wedding planning (yay!).
But we're having an issue deciding what kind of wedding we want - whether it be a big traditional shindig, or something more intimate or casual. We're pretty sure that we don't want to elope, but that's about it.
We both feel like if we don't do a big traditional wedding, then we might regret it. It feels like a little bit of FOMO and maybe a little bit of societal pressure to the tune of "this is what a wedding is supposed to look like. This is what you're supposed to want." Now, we rationally know that the latter isn't true - Weddings come in all shapes and sizes and, at the end of the day, it's whatever makes the couple happy. But it's still an irrational feeling that we both have.
Currently we're looking at a bunch of different venues to see if any of them spark joy (or any other feelings).
So I think my question for the group is - Has anyone else felt this way? And, if so, how did you reconcile the feelings and come to a decision?
Thanks!
