Are my expectations unrealistic?

Hi everyone! My fiance and I are not really into the whole wedding thing, but we do want to celebrate with our friends and family. We're having a small private ceremony with only parents and siblings at A courthouse. A couple of months later we're having a more casual reception. That's my hope, anyway, but we have so many relatives and friends the guest list is 350 people! All I care about is having great food and unlimited booze. I don't care for wedding dresses. I don't like wedding cake. No bridal party, no registry, no favors. I'll have decorations, but I'm really really allergic to flowers so those are out. I want music but I HATE DJs (unless I find one that agrees never to speak) and I don't want a wedding band. Am I nuts to think I can have a laid back 300 person event?

    My mom is one of eight, my dad is one of seven. His mom is one of five. My family is enormous. No one has $100,000? Really? That's a bit rude, dear. I'm a scientist and I make six figures. I've worked very hard. My family is also contributing, as they've been saving for this. I'm

    fortunate that it's something I can afford.

    ETA That was nasty of me, but it makes me mad when people call me a liar.

    My childhood friend's wedding was $250,000 and was featured on Platinum Weddings.

    I personally feel like that is too many people and it will be stressful. I would just skip the after party or do it with 30-40 close family and friends.

    I agree that it is horribly large. I'm fine with the 8 people and dinner, but this means a lot to my family so I'm trying for their sake.
