Pros and Cons of going to the court house

Pros: cheaper, smaller group, less stress in planning.

Cons: Not all courthouses are pretty, may not feel as BIG of a day as a full-day wedding. If this is a worry I recommend a local elopement--officiant, pretty venue (like a park or something cheaper) and a photographer.

Bonus: the marriage is just a real and important as anyone else's

Pros- your just as married as big wedding, don't have to miss out on all the BS.

Cons- your loved ones miss out, you miss that big wedding.

Mary- I thought you were waiting a while? What has changed?

Marriage plans change again?

Plus - This picture says it all.

I was wondering what happened to you, Mary. My FH actually just asked about ASR last night!

.

Mary, I noticed you're only at 4 stars. You should grace us with your presence more often.

Pros- Save money, Dont have to deal with family's "ideas", dont have to wait, you really can do what you want.

Cons- You might regret it later (you might not), *********not enough time to realize you should wait to be getting married.*********

Can you list what YOUR pros and cons are for going to the courthouse?

Did planning ASR's wedding make you want to push yours back up?

HAHA I was going to say, I don't think Cats are allowed in the courthouse.

@SeptMrsV said it all. It's such a personal decision, and the pros and cons for me could be totally different than for you.

For instance, a huge con for me would be that I would regret it, and I would be sad I did it that way. Lots of other prefer and are thrilled they had a courthouse wedding.

Generally speaking, it CAN be cheaper and less stress, but you can easily drive up the cost and stress too, even with a courthouse wedding.

This is really a question only you can answer.

Pro: You don't have to buy/rent décor.

Con: At their location on their schedule.

Hey Mary!

I think courthouse weddings can be just as beautiful, without all the stress and added expense. You can still wear a beautiful dress if that's what you want, too! Just be sure you take any witnesses or guests out for a fully hosted and paid-for-by-you meal afterwards.

I'm curious, too- have plans changed? Are you sticking with the 10/29 date? Kind of coming up fast!

You'll be married. Pro. Saving alot of money! Con-court house are cold and stale,no family or friends

These are my favorites.

Pro; it's cheap

Con; usually it's after traffic court on a random Tuesday.

Pro: you're just as married as anyone else, but have $10,000 to $40,000 more in your pocket. You saved yourself a bunch of time and stress. You don't have to figure out what to do with all the stuff left over-- the decorations, dress, etc. You'll be married sooner.

Con: weddings and funerals are the two times you can count on friends and family really getting together, and you won't know who comes to your funeral.

Plans have kinda changed. We are still waiting but most of the money that was going to be used for the wedding plus some is going to medical care for fonzi

Who's Fonzi? Like from Happy Days?
