Well I must say, you all are among the few people (not just women) who'd jump the broom without the huge 'hupla'. I know there are men out there who want 'dream' weddings too.

It fits my personality better to have a smaller crowd and I'd rather our first huge financial commitment together be toward a house--or anything else that will last more than 6 hours.

Makes complete sense.

Except for the people who have to get to that destination for whom it's not a honeymoon. If you don't want a lot of people, don't invite a lot of people.

This is true. I really only plan (from my side) for my mother, bro, sis to come. I'm really not trying to get married anytime in the next 3-6 years so I think I'm hoping to have the money to fly them out.... hmmm -----> Let me put some more thought into that.

The goal is often to impress yourself and to impress others. That's NOT what a marriage is about. If you don't have the means, choose a different goal.

I believe this to be true. People invite guests they can't stand JUST to show off. I'm not paying for that.

Ive been dating my boyfriend for 5 years now and honestly I just wanna marry the kid lol. He has told me he wants to marry me too but here is the problem, he (and I quote) "wants everything to be perfect because that is what I deserve"...sooo idk if that means he wants a big expensive shindig or what (hmm I should ask..). Right now were both post-graduate 25yr olds so we don't have a ton of $$ to be spending. Since I'm so artsy/crafty, I plan on DIYing ALOOOT of stuff (invites, centerpieces, favors etc.) and not using a ton of flowers to cut down on costs.

If I don't have my destination wedding, I would get married in my backyard. (I figure by the time I get married, I would already have a house. I refuse to rent anymore but that a diff. subject) and my mother loves to do that^^ stuff. That wouldn't bother me. I still would only invite a few people.
