That's not to say that you can be excited about the marriage AND the wedding, but the focus is on the marriage. I think people should start having less "lavish" weddings and then throw great parties on their anniversaries - celebrate the fact that the marriage is thriving after the fact rather than before it even starts! Besides, it'd be a great excuse to get together with loved ones every year and celebrate something meaningful :) <br /><br />Kelley - do whatever you want, whenever you want. I get that you don't want to disappoint anyone, but your loved ones will be happy for you no matter what.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15270564.post-32940176375718596982009-05-06T21:19:00.000-05:002009-05-06T21:19:00.000-05:00I'm right there with you. Being excited about you...I'm right there with you. Being excited about your marriage (vs. wedding) shows so much about who you are and what is important to you. Your relationship with the man you love. The future ahead of you...together. Weddings come and go (trust me - I've had 3 - yes 3) and this last one I let him plan the entire thing. All I did was throw on a pretty dress and show up on time. It was simple (we got married in someone's backyard on a cliff overlooking the ocean in Hawaii), we had the most important people in the world with us (our kids and parents), we talked about our foundation and our future. A wedding is a big event for one day...a marriage is a lifetime commitment. Nice to know you see what is really important!Carenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165922691816115194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15270564.post-76010084039027268442009-05-06T20:47:00.000-05:002009-05-06T20:47:00.000-05:00As the soon-to-be sister-in-law (the one and only)...As the soon-to-be sister-in-law (the one and only), I can say that we would not be disappointed if you didn't want the big wedding (or medium wedding, etc). Do what makes you happy.

In fact, I'd even say you'd be smart to save up for the lifetime that comes after the wedding day. You know, to buy a house, car, pay bills, raise children, etc.Dorkys Ramoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602809969125194901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15270564.post-39063427093599481032009-05-06T10:37:00.000-05:002009-05-06T10:37:00.000-05:00Oh I hope it's normal!

But it was put on by my hubby and I. we had the ceremony by a Justice of the Peace in out hotel room with a bout 20 family and friends. A wife of a friend made a cake and then we had a big party afterwards. Very simple and cheap. I did work at the hotel so the room was really nice and my chef did food - but it was just "stand around with a plate" appetizers. The bestest part og your whole post is that the marriage is more important to you. I think that is the best thing in the entire world! You GO girl! Do whatever YOU want. You want to look back in 20, 50 years and be happy with what you did. Do it your way and be proud.Stickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02693558544168590952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15270564.post-35796519183411287602009-05-06T10:05:00.000-05:002009-05-06T10:05:00.000-05:00I think it's normal...and definitely the RIGHT way...I think it's normal...and definitely the RIGHT way to feel. What about calling the family on the spur of the moment this Saturday and telling them to be at the church at 2pm for your vows in front of Pastor Carrie and afterward everybody comes to your house to grill hot dogs and hamburgers? You could tell them each to pick up one flower of their choice from the corner market or convenience store and then put them together for your bouquet. You could also have plenty of disposable cameras for them to take photos.

I know quite a few women like you who dont care for the "shin-dig" of it... & others who are totally 100% OUT OF THEIR MINDS about a wedding... whatever suits you - DO! Why cant a simple thing be good enough so your family can "see" you getting married. A little get together, a simple dress - a nice dinner? <br /><br />I actually LOVE that you are more excited about the MARRIAGE & not the wedding.. sadly, I've seen many the other way & that dont last!Rebecca Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03965781380511208862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15270564.post-4740877112385010812009-05-06T09:45:00.000-05:002009-05-06T09:45:00.000-05:00I think its normal, why spend money you don't have...I think its normal, why spend money you don't have on something you don't want? <br /><br />Plus I think living with someone before the marriage changes one's outlook in the wedding.
