Ohh boo, be quiet.  You know what, OP?  I’m a huge traditionalist and a stickler for semantics and I was likely quite a bit judgmental in my own head when my cousin hosted a huge family wedding 1 years ago, a year after she and her husband actually got legally married at a courthouse just before he was deployed overseas.  They hosted a full-on wedding ceremony with a big white dress a year later and had a huge crowd.  And you know what?  It was LOVELY and big and over the top and my brother died a month later and it was the last time our whole big family had a celebration together.  It was another 4 years before I had my own wedding and in the meantime my aunt and uncle both died (the bride’s grandparents.)

If she had been concerned about being a stickler, she would have given in to my judgmental mom and others who thought she was tacky.  Instead, she gave us all an occasion to celebrate and gather and precious, irreplaceable pictures and memories.  I am so grateful for that wedding.  It was beautiful and it was generous of her to celebrate with the whole extended family.[/quote]
