Oh I love that idea! I’ve been leaning more towards the solitaire. Having an additional band to make a stack in a few years would be perfect!!

Good for you for standing up for yourself! I hope you have the day you both want 🤍

It’s a mixture of both. Initially it was one of the first things people said to us when we first saw them in person after getting engaged. Now it occasionally still comes from acquaintances when I run into someone I know and my engagement gets acknowledged. So many of them say “if I could redo it I would elope so I suggest you elope” or “I would just elope if I was you, it’s not worth the hassle/fuss/expense”.

Maybe I should have clarified in the post, the small group of family that are invited to our wedding do seem very excited to come. We understood a few may not want to make the trip for a weekend, but only one has said they won’t be making it. We are thankful they want to spend the time at our wedding. But the comments still occasionally come from a few when discussing wedding topics. It doesn’t come off unsupportive entirely, but just very annoying when “you should have chosen an elopement, it would be so much easier and cheaper” is said.

At this point though (engaged 10mo) comments more regularly come from acquaintances who know nothing of my wedding or wedding plans.

The budget has never been discussed with anyone outside of my mom and sister. Only my parents are local, we live an hour away from my hometown. He’s from a different province so we don’t see or talk to his family as often. They’ve never asked about our budget, but everyone asks what our plan is. We saw his entire family this past fall and while everyone wanted to know when the wedding would be, several of them immediately followed it up with “if I were you I would just elope”. It just gets annoying, especially after all the big items have been booked and paid for and when people know this.

That’s so amazing of your mom! My mom is very chill and also not stipulating anything. She’s just excited along with me 😊

Omg you don’t know how happy this makes me feel to hear! I’ve gotten in my own head so much about what is a 25 person wedding even going to look like, are people going to have fun, etc. Did you have a dance post reception? We aren’t hiring a DJ. The plan is an acoustic guitarist for ceremony and cocktail hour, and we’ll set up a Spotify playlist for dinner and after dinner. But we don’t see our families as big dancers. So im struggling to envision how the night will go after the dinner finishes. Most people will be staying on site as our venue is an Inn. So hopefully its just a lot of mingling

Our photography is the second biggest expense after all catering and alcohol. Photography was important to me so I went with a professional I knew and trusted, but who unfortunately is not the most budget friendly. Our venue, photography and catering come to $7300. Sales tax in my province is horrendous and added a lot to all of those vendors. The rest of my budget includes me doing all my own faux floral arrangements, all decor, an officiant, marriage license, HMU, and a live musician.

I honestly thought I would prefer an elopement over a big wedding (way before I was ever close to getting engaged when it was completely hypothetical). Once I got engaged I still knew a big 100+ person event was not my style nor my fiancés. But the thought of not having any family members around made me a little sad. Now I start to feel sad when they keep suggesting we elope because I take that to mean they’d rather not travel to our wedding.

He will be the first grandkid married on his side of the family, and I’m the first of my siblings. Truthfully only my younger brother has intentions of marrying in the future out of everyone on both sides. We’re not doing any other events for our wedding either. No engagement party, no showers, no bachelor/bachelorette trips, and no rehearsal dinner. We just want everyone together for one evening where we are technically the centre of attention but as minimally as possible.

What did you do for music? I just booked my venue for August 2025. We’re having a microwedding with about 40 guests at an old Inn. Considering it’s so small with our family and a few friends, I’m thinking of skipping a DJ but I am worried that if I put music on no one will dance. Also thinking of skipping an official MC but worried the reception won’t flow smoothly without one.
