The Wedding You Always Wanted
Here's a take on weddings that we think is worth reading, over at The Bargain Queen. Be sure to read the comments, too, as there is one from someone who does want the big wedding. We happen to fully agree with The Bargain Queen's reply. In a nutshell, if you want the big wedding and can afford it, then full steam ahead. But if you don't want the big day, or don't want what your relatives want out of the big day, or don't have the money... then don't feel that you have to.
We've heard from more than one bride that the wedding was the worst day of her life... don't let that happen to you. Make sure your day is for you, not for Great Aunt Persnickety. Make sure it is what works for you, not what works according to [pick your favorite wedding magazine and insert name here].
In fact there is a growing trend away from big glitzy weddings and there are even sites such as the Frugal Bride. So if you opt for something simple and inexpensive, you are not alone!
And of course... we think that you should invest the time and money in a premarital course or counselling, whether you are spending $100 on your wedding or $100,000.
Happy Couples, Happy Planet!

If you know who this woman is, please let us know. There was no copyright info and no contact info on their site, so we couldn't ask. And good photos of crying brides are surprisingly hard to find!
