Considering the fact that life is so short and the wedding is one day versus the rest of your lives together, I would have to say have a cheap, simple, but memorable wedding with those who are most important to do. Make it about u and ur bf and not about everyone else. Keep the big bucks for investing in a house and the more important things in life. A big wedding is a celebration, but when it's over and u look back u'll think of how u could have spent the money better. Weddings are just parties for other ppl to go to at your expense. Make ur wedding about u 2. That's what counts. My husband and I did that and to this day don't regret it. All I wanted was the dress and my family present. I have no regrets.

That is such a hard question. I got married on Christmas Eve. We had just bought a house (we still live there) and we didn't have a lot of money for a wedding. We decided to have a surprise wedding. We invited the family and a few good friends over for a "Christmas party" and, after everyone was there, we announced that we were getting married. Right then. We were married in front of our first Christmas tree. My mother wasn't happy about the way it went down and my sisters cried (I guess because it was a wedding) but it was memorable!
If I had it to do over though, I would have a small but really fun wedding with good music, good (not rubber chicken) food, and something unique that would make the day even more special (not sure what because I will never do it again).
I think the type of wedding you chose is very personal and you both have to want to do it that way. I do NOT think the type of wedding you have makes a bit of difference in how long you stay married or how happy you are. We have been together almost 23 years and we had a crazy little wedding (later in January, my mom gave us a family reception at her home).
Whatever you do, don't bow down to pressure. This is your and your (soon to be) hubby's day and it should be what you guys want, no one else.
Congratulation. May you two be happy for life!
