Small weddings are wonderful, but be ready to tick people off
My husband and I married in December in a small private ceremony in our home. In all we spent about $1500 and it was a lovely private ceremony and fun party. I relished the intimacy of our ritual and we were able to relax and enjoy every minute. However, for months afterward, we had to deal with the fallout of not inviting everyone we knew. People were truly offended to not have been invited, even when we explained that our own parents had not been present. I can't imagine beginning my marriage with that sort of debt and stress. I'd like to know how wedding costs correlate with divorce rates!
