We got married in our early 20s during 4th year in college. We were short on time, financials, and insight. Over the course of a year, we rushed a courthouse ceremony luckily with both parents present, went on a family honeymoon, then a photoshoot fully dressed up.
I was happy at the time, but soon started growing regrets. Looking back, the whole year feels fragmented. Most importantly, I now realize the importance of announcing our union with a bigger audience. Also, we grew many lasting friendships who we wish to share happiness with now. We recently bought our 1st home and trying to get pregnant, so I feel like the "married life" is finally accelerating.
Our plan goes like this.. Invite 40 guests at a venue, ceremony and reception, no gift registry or pre/post events, and non-white dress.
I fear getting side-eyed since 5 years is too short of a milestone. Would some guests view this as a weird belated wedding? Anybody help!!
