Do you want a big or small weeding?

I have always been very private with my emotions, and I don't really like the big weeding, I think it is a waste of time and money, specifically when you have to go for so many months of preparation and stress. But I know also that for many people this is a very important moment in their life. Don't get me wrong, the marriage is something important, very important, it is the ceremony and party and the whole big thing where I get a little bit apprehensive. What do you think? Small weeding or a big weeding? What are your thoughts?

I officiate weddings for a living (I'm the minister), and I think alot of people are going for the smaller weddings these days. I think a smaller wedding is so much more personal, and meaningful. If you have a huge wedding, there are people there that you may have never met, or haven't seen in years, and everyone is wanting your time and attention. At the end of the night, you may find that you didn't get to spend any time with the most important person... your new spouse. I have officiated at both small weddings and large ones, and I much prefer the small ones.

Really? That surprise me a lot, but I understand why, these days the economical cost of weeding are ridiculously high, and it is something that is not for you, is food for other people, is a venue for other people. Even when I want an small weeding I would love to have a wonderful honeymoon. So I think there is where all the money is going to go.
