Let's go to the courthouse!

Cristina, on September 1, 2019 at 11:42 AM Posted in Planning 0 6
Has anyone started their traditional wedding then just decided to go to the courthouse? I really love the date 02/20/20 but we just got engaged in July so squeezing a wedding into about 6 months is nearly impossible but I'm very adamant on not having a courthouse wedding then having a big wedding years later to make up for it I would rather make my courthouse wedding as special as possible and get on with life has anyone done this and not regretted it? 🤔

    Before you make a decision, you might check with your local municipality about how they schedule courthouse weddings. I've read that dates with significance or patterns like yours can be really busy and possibly book very early. If you're making a choice based on that date, I'd make sure it's likely to be available to you.

    What I do regret is not sticking with our original courthouse wedding. I decided to have a traditional church wedding, but I really wish we had just stuck with our initial plan. It would've saved us a bunch of stress and money!

    I absolutely would’ve had one if we had any good looking court houses nearby!! We were going to elope, bought an elopement dress and everything. We were going to go to a cute court house like we see in wedding blogs, have a picnic and take awesome photographs, then hang out in the city and go out to dinner.
    But now we’re having a wedding. My anxiety riddled brain wishes so badly we stuck to our original plan but it’s too late. 😰

    You need to decide which you really want. It is totally possible to plan a traditional wedding in six months and have it perfect and beautiful. It’s also ok to have a simple courthouse wedding. There’s also he option of having a courthouse wedding with a fancier reception if that’s what you choose. You just don’t want to end up with regrets over your decision. Talk to your fiancé and figure out together what is going to be the best option for you.

    Our courthouse only does weddings on Mondays and Fridays.

    I'm getting married Feb 1, 2020 and I've only booked our venue and photographer so far, but we're having a very small wedding...micro wedding.
