I hate weddings, I hate the pomp & circumstance, I would hate dealing with all those people when the focus should be on me and my husband-to-be.
If I were to get married, I would elope.
And then I'd throw a big, casual party to celebrate with my friends.
My sister got married at 19 and wanted (and got) a big wedding. My mom practically begged her to elope, because she could give them quite a bit of cash as a wedding gift that way. (Which they really,really could have used). I thought she was crazy for going with the wedding, but she had a great time and was happy. To each their own.
