what kind of wedding? - Weddings

jlbecker · 10-12-2006, 07:12 PM

I know I'm in the middle of planning this big fabulous wedding but right now, I would be ecstatic about anything, as long as I have my honey. I would buy a $20 dress and steal flowers from the grocery store, just give me my sweetheart!

I know my wedding will be a dream come true, but I'm beginning to wonder if the stress is worth it...
I'm not about to change anything cause by now it's pretty much set. But just wondering...
If you had a big wedding, was the stress worth it for you?
If you had something small, did you wish you had the big-horrah?
Any words of advice for a planner?

I had a very small wedding with a few people at the court house. For me I never really cared about a huge wedding so I'm fine with the way we had it done. I got married to him and for me that's all that mattered.

i had a medium size wedding, and it was good for me. my mom and mother-in-law did most the work and just asked me if it's what i liked. the only thing i flipped out about was when the people printing the invitations called and said they couldn't do the pattern i selected, i think i cried all day from that!

but it was totally worth it!

I know when my time comes, I will want a big deal one. My dad is a videographer so when it comes to actually planning stuff, my dad will know who is good and who is not and he may actually get deals when it comes to certain things. At least I hope so

We had a very small outdoor garden wedding performed by the JOP. We only had about 75 people there, I believe. It definately was not the wedding of my dreams!

We did renew our vows in the Catholic Church which was one thing I wanted.

However my dream wedding is to be married in a pastel pink or gold princess gown in a cathedral in Italy.

It'll never happen but that's ok! I can still dream as our years together keep on going strong!

We had a small intimate cermony on the beach with his Dad preforminng the wedding and his Mom, sisters and my parents and Jer there. It was sweet and romantic and I love it. We are however having a small church wedding next month for family and friends... and to show off the gown and all

But, doing it this way has taken so much stress off the wedding. Made me realize why I was doing this in the first place!

Don't stress too much and have fun planning and marrying your soul mate!

We got married in Vegas about a year before we actually got married, but never told anyone about this

. We only had about 100 people at our wedding, but I tried to make planning everything as fun as possible....then I stressed at the end. But I wouldn't trade it for anything
