Wedding Woes

I had a bad case of the wedding woes last night.
Do we want traditional invitations, or contemporary?

I wish it was that simple.

Do we have a wedding or do we elope? That's the decision that I'm wrangling with. It makes me wish that I had a "Bride book" that was filled with hopes and dreams for my wedding I had started when I was 12 years old. Bam, questions answered, decisions made.

To be frank, I think that weddings are a huge waste of money. There, I said it. Would I rather use the money that we budgeted for the wedding and go on the most fabulous vacation (honeymoon)? Without a doubt.
But.....
A wedding is a once in a lifetime event
A party just for you
A celebration with friends and family
Later in life would I regret NOT having a wedding?
I don't know.
