Mr LOL..... Lol.
Cant think of anything more naff than Vegas and if its not about being with family why were they on the other end of a web cam.....? Good job thats only an opinion though.
Thing is, everybody
thinks you have to get married in a church, or in some impressive stately home, and that anything other than that, such as a registry office is cheap, naff, being a skin flint, cutting corners, to be sneered at etc..
But ask yourself this, what does it honestly matter ?
The day is about you, and the commitment you make to your wife. Nothing else. Its not about fancy wedding cars and expensive flowers, its about making a life long pledge to somebody in the eyes of god.
Think about it, is the purpose of the venue to impress others, or just somewhere to make your vows to each other ?
See, you kind of made his point for him.
The stigma of not having a 'proper wedding' is probably why so many people do them instead of just what they feel like doing. A wedding is for yourself and your chosen partner, not everyone else.
It's responses like yours which re-enforces why people feel so pressurised into doing the 'right thing'.
exactly. I totally felt this pressure to have a "proper wedding" we booked a nice venue which was an old manor house from the 1800s, and organized catering and flowers and entertainment and the wedding car etc..
But after putting down most of the deposits it dawned on us just how much debt we were going to put yourselves in. We were getting severely stressed to the point it was effecting our health organizing it all and stressing about who we should invite and who should sit where so as not to cause too many arguments within the families etc.. etc..
And then one day, when we were on holiday together, we thought how nice it would be if we could just run away abroad together, and get married away from everthing and just have each others company for the day. It was one of the most liberating things we did. I highly recommend it.
