The issue i'm having is that my fiance' has already been married and did the whole church thing. This is my first wedding and im not sure if i still want a big wedding and all the tada or a small one and my parents give us money for having a small wedding? My mind is still not made up and i want to get married in november of this year. can someone please help me put this into prespective.

You could always opt for a wedding in the tropics. I've been to two now, and they've been absolutely gorgeous and SO much fun for all the guests who were able to travel with the happy couple.

I have thought about that but most of my family would not be able to afford a trip such as that.

Yes, that's the downfall when all the people you'd like to have there can't necessarily afford to go either in money or in time.

i am also getting married. we are getting married in july. we have both been previously married. he wants to get married in a church, but i don't care where we get married. so, we are getting married in a church. we are paying for the whole thing ourselves, but we are still going all out with it. to save some money though, i am doing all the decorating, the wedding cake, making my veil, making the party favors, making the centerpieces for the tables, making the cake topper, and making the bridesmaid dresses myself. the cake i am going to do is going to wow people, i'm sure. i'm doing a 3 tiered cake in the middle and then a 2 tiered cake on each side of it, with stairs going up to the main cake. anyhow, i figure it's a big day that i want to remember as well as i want other people to remember it too, so i am going all out with it

well since we are cathloic we can't get married in a church because he is divorced, we would have to find a different religion and that probaly wouldn't go over well with the families. Anyways congratulations on your wedding and you should be proud of yourself that you can do all those things for your wedding. Good luck and thanks for the tips.
