i always dreamt of being in a beautiful and elegant wedding, my wedding! with the people i love and the man i'll live with for the rest of my life. but with some monetary constraints, i always ended up thinking could my dream still come true? or just a fantasy yet to be explored. or maybe just have it in a civil wedding, with fewer people and less monetary problems that we may incur. but, what do you think it will be? can you suggest or give views on this subject?

I got married at a park. The mayor of the local town did the ceremony. It was perfect for us. Of course I had a million different dreams about my wedding day while I was growing up. I dont think I ever would have guessed my wedding to be what it was. However, I do feel like I had my dream wedding. There was only one detail that mattered in the end. I married the most amazing man in the world! Any other man, and the wedding wouldnt have been right. But it was perfect because I was his bride! I think people get too caught up in the details of wedding planning. Yes, it is a big day in any person's life. Yes it is a very important day. But there is only one reason that it is important - two people are joining their lives together to create a new family. The number of people in attendance, or the cake, or even the clothes everyone weats wont change that. Do what makes you happy. But remember that the most important part of a wedding is that you are getting married!
