That is completely your right. Honestly, my wife and I had a more "traditional" wedding; we got married at our Episcopal church in Boston, invited a whole bunch of family (and some friends), and had the reception at a ballroom in town. It was traditional, big (we have huge, close families), and just right for us. On the other hand, my parents got married in Vegas, and they've been married over 30 years. Larger weddings don't necessarily mean the relationship is doomed, small weddings don't mean that the people have their priorities straight, and vice-versa...
I tend to think of a wedding as a very personal experience, and I think during the planning phases you can be very sensitive to other's feelings on the matter. That's why I didn't go near this forum while we were planning, and I don't think it's a good idea for others in the planning stages to read the posts. You're bound to find someone calling your wedding plan "tacky," "over-the-top," or a waste of money.
People have the right to be as picky as they want, but I think in most cases the posts on this board are the last things people want or need to hear about their own wedding.
