Hi ladies,
Maybe I just need a good kick in the booty! My FI and I always joke about eloping and I've found that we are actually torn between doing the traditional wedding with our guest list of 130 people and between just going up to Mackinac Island and cutting the list to our immediate family and bridal party which would be around 35-40 people.
We already live together...in Japan...and we both have houses in Michigan so it's not like we need another coffee pot and set of dishes to "get us started in life." Part of me feels like just doing the small gig and the other part of me feels like getting married is a special time of bonding with FI as well as friends and family with the showers and rehearsal dinners, etc. Part of it is money too...We can afford the wedding, its just soooooo much fricken money it puts knots in my stomach. Anyone else ever feel this way?!?!?!? Ugh...thanks for listening and letting me vent!!!
