 For some, a civil ceremony fits the bill. The greatest part about holding a quiet civil ceremony is that you can declare your love and get married without all the fuss and drama. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, there are those among us who would prefer not to face the music, so to speak. If one partner can’t stand the idea of getting married without a party, throw a wedding reception at a local hall or in your house, a few days after the ceremony. That way, friends and family can still join in on the celebration and shower you with gifts. Go on Vacation Take off. Invite a select number of family and friends to join you on a Cuban beach or for a week in Paris. Plan your ceremony and execute it in style. Be sure to contact your resort or the tourist bureau to find all the nitty-gritty details on weddings abroad. All-inclusive resorts are great for a wedding like this: not only do you get to get away, but your guests pay one price for the whole week. It’s like a wedding on over-drive; only, it won’t be over-crowded. Only people who truly want to be present on your special day will take part. To top it off, it’s a great way to combine getting married and going on a honeymoon, while keeping things intimate and on track. Elope If you’re full of a sense of adventure, and you’d just rather not go through the hassle of planning a wedding, elope! Every bride I’ve ever known agrees that wedding planning can grate on your last nerve; from monetary matters to picking up the cake or finding a night to drop by the caterers for a tasting, wedding planning takes drive and determination. Not everyone is emotionally ready or has the time to tackle such a feat. Some would rather not bother. Although parents may say you’re cheating them out of the wedding, truth be told, this is about the bride and the groom. Joining families is important, don’t get me wrong, but that shouldn’t cross eloping off your list. Hold a party for the family when you get home. Besides, running away to get married is romantic in a way that spending a year planning for a party that may or may not go off without a hitch just isn’t. ________________________ wedding blues To avoid the wedding blues, or worse yet, having the bride or groom feel out of place, uncomfortable or sick and tired of the wedding before it even happens, consider the alternatives. As much as I love planning my next big trip, I’ve helped friends and family plan their big day ad nauseum, so I’ll be running away to Vegas when I get married. But talk it over with your future spouse. It may so happen that she or he really wants to declare their love at the church with all the bells and whistles. If you love them, you’ll learn to compromise, on both sides of the big day. |
