do couples consider simplicity of weddings nowadays?  

I only plan on getting married once, so I want it to be extravagent and beautiful. I think I will probably go with a theme wedding, those are always so much fun and no one will forget something like that as apposed to a regular wedding.

I would want my wedding to be simple and elegant attended by only the people who really matters. Also the budget, it you can afford to splurge, then you should go all out and make it a grand event. But if you are working around a tight budget, then there is no sense spending too much and probably borrowing money just to get the wedding of your dreams. That would mean starting your marriage on an unstable ground.

We also had six-month preparation for our wedding. It was a well-planned wedding. We did not spend more but we received positive feedback from our guests like our wedding was one of the best weddings they’ve attended.
It is practical not to spend too much for the wedding and just make it simple, especially now that we are in crisis. But is still up to the couple if they can afford it why not? But again better save the money to start a new life having a family than spend much for the wedding.

My fantasy wedding will be extravagant! In the church I wish to see twigs with orchid flowers, the same design in "The Proposal" setting. All people that are important to us wears white. Then one of our dearest friend will sing our wedding march song "Will you Still Love Me" by Chicago.

At the reception, it will be at the beach. The decoration of the whole place are filled with white twigs with white orchids and white japanese lanterns. I imagining it be well lit. We'll hire a band that will play all our favorite songs as a couple. Then we dance and party all night.

Well everything of course depends on the budget, if it allows us. But if not, a simple wedding will do. It doesn't really matter how big or small the wedding will be, its the life after the wedding that matters most...

Hi amyson,

It was six years ago when we got married and even during those days we opted for a simple civil wedding as we don't have enough funds for a church wedding. As much as I want my wedding to be something memorable, we don't have a choice as my husband has to leave the country in few days time to work abroad. Besides, we need to speed up the authentication of our marriage contract as he'll be taking me in few months to join him. Good Day!

well, wedding for me is a sort of formality and it is a big deal to most women and not important to those with liberal ideas. I am going to marry for a lifetime it may be not an ideal or a fairy tale wedding but it must be solemn and not a dream like fantasy wedding. Thus, if I marry it means serious business while I could not pressure to marry someone I do not know even it hurts the person if I feel pressure I am gonna marry him only for comfort and not for love. Thus, the relationship would never last.

I would like to have a simple wedding, but not those kinds where I would only plan for a couple of hours.. i mean, I want it to be simple, but perfect.. I want to plan all the details, cause it would only happen once, so I want it to be the best day of my life.

hi amyson even though our wedding was a very simple one there was more than enough preparations involved in it for sure. And as we got married in my hometown I was the one who did all the preparations as my then husband to be was a 3,5 hours drive away from me.
It were two ceremonies, the civil ceremony and the church ceremony. The church ceremony was more important to us than the civil but yet the civil needed preparation too. It started with getting all the important papers together and that was a real problem as 47 years ago one registrar has messed up something in my birth certificate which I got to see first time then and it took real work to get it straightened out. They had spelled my moms maiden name wrong back then and no one would have known had not I wanted to get married.
We have done all the invitations for the church wedding ourselves with the help of the computer of course, and mailed them early enough, then when we knew how many of our friends would be there we booked that room in the restaurant close to church where we wanted to eat after the ceremony. Our families on both sides were not interested in our marriage anyways. we invited them but many had a loophole then cause they didnt want to attend but who cares. As I am better in talking publicly than my husband I welcomed the guests and said right into the face of the few family members who had cared enough to come that this wedding dinner was a little thank you for our friends who have stood by us and encouraged us during all the rough times of our engagement and now everyone should order nice food and drink to his or her liking and enjoy the evening.

hello amyson,i am going to marry in the next year,i plan to spend about half of one month for preparing since my friend and i are both working and don't have long vacation,my wedding will be complicate.
my hometown locates at a small city,the hometown of my boyfriend is about 400km from my howntown,now we live in another city which is 400km far from my howmtown and 800km far from my boyfriend's,it is impossible to invite all our relatives and friends to attend our wedding in one city,so our wedding will be held in three cities separately,it is crazing when i think about it.

I will have married on Nov.29.I have prepared the marriage for about 4 months, and now I am tired.I really want a simple wedding, just with my familes and friends together, eating,talking, drinking and playing. How about you?
