    We eloped, so ... it was about us, but we didn't make it a huge production that inconvenienced a lot of people like a Bridezilla might.

    A HUUUUGGGGEEEE waste of money!

    Take the wedding budget, put it in an escrow account, and if the marriage lasts 7 years have a huge party to celebrate. If not, the two parties split the proceeds and go their separate ways.

    Our wedding was an excuse for a big party with our friends.

    i say b, but i planned my wedding for my husband. hes big into wwII history and loves airplanes, so i found an aircraft carrier museum ship that hosted weddings. he had a blast, all the men did. it was definitely not just "my" day.

    Agree with above, if it's big it is a waste of money.

    If you're going to do it, I feel it is supposed to be option B. Option A seems really selfish to me and leads to the Bridzilla complex. :)

    If i get married there will be guns, a large fire pit, a tattoo artist, and too many drunk people.

    both. it is your special day, so u should get what u want, but u should also take friends and family into consideration when it comes to certain things (don't pick a music list full of music that no one is going to enjoy, but still mix in th songs that are special to you, etc.) and have a great time

    Yeah, I'm just fracking adorable.
    At least my wife of 27 years thinks so. Especially last week when she found a bouquet of flowers on the seat of her car when she was leaving for work at 5:30am...and realized they were only to remind her "I love you" and "I want your day to start off special"...when it wasn't any special day at all, just another Thursday. And also realized I must have planned it the night before.

    And I find it sad when people spend $20k - $30k on a wedding day just to get divorced in 3-5 years.

    A marriage ceremony should be a confirmation for your family and friends of a relationship that already exists, and then a big party with said people.

    I eloped.

    Nobody likes Bridezilla, so if you can have a big wedding without getting all cray-cray, go for it!

    I needed hubby's dental insurance. They said coverage was effective immediately upon marriage. So we decided on Monday, and went downtown on Tuesday.

    We spent more at lunch at PF Chang's afterward than we did on the entire wedding ceremony. God Bless Reno :heart:
