Don't Do It!

If you have just gotten engaged or you are thinking about getting married do not do the following:
1) Don't bother with the whole wedding thing..go to a judge or do a destination wedding
2) If you really want to walk down the aisle..don't have anyone in the wedding. Make it about the two of you. This means: the groom stands with the priest or judge or rabi..and the bride walks down the aisle. Nobody comes before or after you.
3) Don't have too many hands in the pot..the more people who decide to help you pay for the wedding the more ideas/changes/suggestions (that aren't really suggestions..they are demands) that you are going to have.

I would never, ever suggest the full blown wedding..it costs way too much money and it's easily the most frustrating time you'll ever have trying to prepare for approximately 5 hours of your life.

It does seem like a lot of fuss for a couple of hours that you will barely remember 5-10 years later, doesn't it? Actually, it seems crazy the more you think about it. I did something in between a judge or destination and what you are doing, and I am happy that we went for simple and small. The only thing I wish that we had more/better of was pictures. Because I don't remember much about the day but still like looking at the pictures going on 7 years later.
