i had this one to end the evening yesterday. My other half and i went for a walk in the evening, and had dinner out while trying to get a start on talking about this whole wedding thing. I think there’s likely a part of me that does really want a whole wedding/reception etc, but given that we would really like to buy a house in the near-ish future, have kids etc… it’ll likely be a small ceremony at city hall or something and then just a party, no dinner. we can do it all over again in 10 years or something with a big shebang haha

Word of wisdom from an old fuddy-duddy: planning the lifetime together is far more important than planning the wedding :)
Nothin’ wrong with simple. :) The important thing is you two, not the stage sets. :)
haha oh for sure. the practical side of me says, go to city hall and then have a potluck dinner with friends coming over to spend the evening :)
then you’d have good, food, good conversation…what else do you need? :)
LOL, I was gonna suggest the potluck idea! GMTA!
As a person who usually plays at least one wedding a week, my advice is keep it simple & save your money for other things. It’s amazing what young couple blow their money on, & it adds nothing to the actual meaning of the moment. In the end, everybody ends up in debt. I’ve been told I’m too sensible, LOL. Every year Tony & I do a new year’s day brunch at my house, inviting both of our kids (my 4, his 2). If we ever actually tie the knot, we’re gonna do it on New Years day while we have everyone in one place.
Yeah I don’t care about flowers And that sort of thing….I really just want music to dance to and someone taking pictures so that I don’t have to, since it’s usually me doing it
Hubby and I got married one Sunday afternoon. We were going to just have us and the pastor right after service but some ladies in the church said they wanted to make punch and serve nuts and cake squares, my mother bought me a skirt and blouse, and the pastor announced that anyone who wanted to stay for the wedding could. No expense, no planning, no invitations. LOL! But it took, and we have had 27 years together so far!
that’s awesome ash :)
Yup! Congrats!
