Hi there!
One of my friends from school growing up had my dream wedding a few months ago. They eloped and then a few weeks later had a huge party/reception to celebrate and played a video of when they said their vows when they eloped. Her and I are kind of close, but not as close as we used to be. Her wedding was beautifully done.
The thing is, it has been my DREAM since I was a child to elope somewhere beautiful then have a party/reception with friends on a later day. When I found out that’s what she was doing my heart SANK!
I have never wanted to walk down an aisle and get married in front of everyone. I want something personal and intimate, BUT I still want to have my bridesmaid and have groomsmen at the reception and wear my dress again. Just no public ceremony, but I wanted to have it recorded and shown too. I’m worried sick now that it’s my time and worried she’ll think I’m copying her and that other people from the small town were from will think I’m copying her. Her colors are close to mine too.. she had dark green but I’m wanting more light green. It’s making me sick and worried. Does anyone have any advice?!
