I am sick of wedding planning on a tight arse budget
I am sick of postponing the date
I am sick of trying to work out who to include and exclude to make figures plausible

We just want to be married.

I want the fancy wedding, I do - but I don't want to have to make it a rushed and tight budgeted one either... and I want to be married. In the end I want to be able to call FutureH mine.

I don't want to be thousands in debt
I don't want to cut out half our friends and family to do it
I don't want to wait another five years to be married

A 'wedding' wouldd just be to please our rellies, and I am sick of just pleasing our rellies.


Anyway, I know at least two people on BB who have gotten married at a registary or courthouse then had the "wedding" later on. I just want to know a few things.

  • Cost
  • What did you wear
  • Do you think it is still as special
  • How did your family react
  • & any other details you are willing to spill
I am tearing my hair out and the date we are hoping for draws nearer and we need to do a notice of marriage soon if we are going to go ahead with it.

TIA
