Salaam,
Well I'm having a bit of an argument here with myself so though you folks could offer your opinions on something for me.
As those who know me on the site you will be aware that I am getting married soon. I am a very simple soul and do not like fuss and I despise the thought of everyone looking at me (not cos I'm scary lol) but I am very private and homely.
I understand that weddings are something to be celebrated but I really do not want a big flash wedding. I just want me, my partner our witnesses and a few close friends to come. My partner is fine with that but I'm then worried people think its a secret when it is not.
Also another side of me thinks I have waited 34years to marry so I would like a beautiful dress and stuff but really thats just material isn't it. I honestly cant afford or bear to spend loads of money on one day which whether a large or small affair will mean exactly the same thing.
A friend recently married and it cost over £12,000 for just the food.
Admittidly I can not afford that sort of money and I would just be happy with a nice dress and a meal out with our friends. Even if I could afford it I feel it would go against my beleifs to waste so much money.
So really is there anything wrong with a small private wedding???thats my question.
Thank you
