We ended up doing one, very small, ceremony at the mairie, and then a party in France, and one in the US.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13719001.post-17619232037217308442006-10-07T23:23:00.000-04:002006-10-07T23:23:00.000-04:00Very simple.

I think that the most important thing in a wedding is being concious of the vows that one is exchanging with her/his spouse-to-be, not the estetics of the event, or what to feed the guests!<br /><br />(I'm afraid that if my wedding would have been too much of a circus, I would have been stressed for a thousand things that were not important, i.e: the flowers, the cake etc...)<br /><br />(and also, I don't understand at all how people can <b>wait year(s)</b> to prepare their wedding, or to join enough money for it, or start their life together with a huge debt because of the stupid party!-- I mean, there are enough other reasons in life where you need to wait for something important to happen i.e: the plane of your lover to land ;) I'm not even talking about debts because of studies...)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13719001.post-86139409754942468952006-10-07T05:39:00.000-04:002006-10-07T05:39:00.000-04:00I agree with the others, I've never wanted a fancy...I agree with the others, I've never wanted a fancy wedding either. I'd prefer to just get married on a beach somewhere with family and a few close friends present. The thought of having to stand up in front of a church full of people scares me! <br /><br />And I thought the average US wedding cost a little under $20,000 as well - I can think of much better things to spend that money on!<br /><br />PS. I can't believe it's already Saturday, hope you had a safe and uneventful flight Jube!Ksamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991667611234163617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13719001.post-1761023151088159702006-10-06T23:11:00.000-04:002006-10-06T23:11:00.000-04:00I'm with Jube--consume consume etc...(jesus I'm st...I'm with Jube--consume consume etc...(jesus I'm starting to sound French)<br /><br />The ideal wedding is one where you're actually married at the end of the ceremony. The rest is fluff. Fluff makes me sneeze. <br /><br />So very glad the two of you are back together again.Dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561518948847153812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13719001.post-84299420327777005342006-10-06T07:54:00.000-04:002006-10-06T07:54:00.000-04:00I've never had those "fairytale wedding" fantasies...I've never had those "fairytale wedding" fantasies that a lot of girls seem to have, either. If you fork over that much money to pay for your wedding, unless you're super-wealthy, your life as a married couple might not get off to the greatest start - the wedding might well have been amazing, but there'll be no money left and the first few months of married life will be spent living off Ramen noodles and repaying debts! <br />We haven't had our "legal" wedding yet, but there were only four witnesses present at our religious ceremony and we fed them homemade lemon squares and chocolate chip cookies. So I agree with you, the simpler, the better. <br />I hope you both have a wonderful weekend!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00289197402214061153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13719001.post-47599709826204108212006-10-06T06:15:00.000-04:002006-10-06T06:15:00.000-04:00I think the only thing I didn't like about my wedd...I think the only thing I didn't like about my wedding was that I was 8.5 months pregnant at the time...

I swear I saw a statistic that said the "average" American wedding costs $20,000. That's twice as much as I make in a year! Some people are really screwing the curve up for the rest of us... :PBrookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13925587790049043482noreply@blogger.com
