I was never that little girl who dreamed of her wedding day. In fact, I didn't start dreaming of my wedding day until I started dating. Even then, I didn't feel the need to have a big wedding.
I've always liked simplicity when it comes to weddings. I feel like the marriage is more important than the wedding. The wedding is just one day in your lives together while the marriage lasts for the rest of your lives.
It has been difficult for me when it comes to planning the wedding. It feels like we're wasting a lot of money just so everyone can "experience" our wedding with us. To be perfectly honest, I would be just as happy having a small ceremony with just the closest family and friends in attendance and a cook-out to celebrate. I still want the dress, a bouquet, cake, and pictures, but none of the fanciness is really needed.
Phil strongly feels that the wedding day is important, not just for us, but for others as well. I get it, really, I do, but the price tag is what gets to me....especially when we are still waiting to hear if his job will be extended past November.
Overall, I love planning the wedding and get excited when there are things to do for it. I'm sure that I'll look back and be so happy that we decided to have a traditional wedding, but for right now it's hard to wait. The wedding is pretty much planned and there's not much to do for a while. Despite it all, one thing is for certain...I can't wait to marry my best friend.
I'm wondering if anyone else felt this way or did they focus on the wedding day and look forward to all of the special events?

I was one of those little girls..hehe!
I love all types of weddings and think it just depends on the couple, I never sxpect things at weddings..like favors and such.
My wedding was HUGE. I loved it :) But, having a small wedding would have never worked for us..we have a huge family!
I do see the perks in a small ceremony...Seems like it would make it more personal maybe.
I will tell you that..no matter how many people you invite, when your standing up there with your best friend...you are the only two people in the room :) everyone else just seems to fade away!
