Hi ladies!
This is my first post here. My bf and i are getting married next year. We initially planned a very formal wedding at a beautiful venue. We started saving as soon as he proposed and were able to come up with the money to cover the main costs.
However, we realized we don't want to spend all of our hard earned money on just one day. We cancelled the venue and found a very nice church with a reception area to host our event.
The ceremony will be around 30 minutes, and after that as a thank you we will have refreshments, finger foods, and cake. The whole thing will be like 2 maybe 3 hours. We will have around 60 guests and it's mostly just close friends and family. Is this too lame? Will our guests secretly hate us for not having a full party and "wasting" their time on such a brief event?
I really want to have a nice ceremony with our friends and families but we really don't want a huge and costly event. We are only 22 and 24 and the money we save can help us start our lives better.
