[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a, by dcum standards cheap by my standards at 25 expensive, wedding and it felt very worth it. I absolutely do not think everyone needs a wedding or would enjoy it but the worth of a wedding sometimes does get lost in the discussion.

For us it was not about having a big party, but all the people who were in attendance. It was really cool getting to celebrate with both sides of our extended families and our different friend groups from over the years all in one place. It really was a once in a lifetime experience for both of us as we will most likely never get to be in a room with all of those people again.

I know well that this would not be a good thing for lots of people (particularly those with strained family relationships) but I just wanted to throw this in as I think some people dumb down weddings to being over the top overly expensive parties. While it can be this, too, it can be a meaningful and amazing experience seeing all of your loved ones around you and getting to know each other. [/quote]

PP here. Same.  While I was not okay with other people trying to dictate any facet of our day (we paid), in the end, I was glad it was a relatively small event for our family, where and when we wanted it. [/quote]
