*VENT*I don't want a wedding. The thought of spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on one day on a party including a bunch of people that don't really care about us is not what I want. My fiances family is mean at times, messy, and always trying to one up each other. My fiance is so eager to please them, but when we need them for help all year they are never around. They want to use our wedding to one up my fiancé brother's wedding. No one wants to listen to what i want because it's not "traditional" or extravagant enough. And because ive expressed i wanted something simple, now no one, but my fiance, cares at all. And i say "care" lightly because he hasnt wanted to plan anything. On my side, i have little to no family. Just my mom and sister, and they don't really care either. I have one person i call a friend, and even he barely cares. So why have a wedding when no one cares either way? We aren't swimming in money. I'd rather elope and have a nice Honeymoon and enjoy my marriage.

    I agree with you. I love my fiancee's big family, and I have big family myself, but I feel like a big ceremony just isn't for me. I want to legally get married in court, fly to Paris, take wedding pictures at the Eiffel Tower and have our own little private ceremony, just the two of us. Exchanging our vows under the Eiffel Tower and enjoying our honeymoon there too. That sounds like my perfect wedding.
