My boyfriend recently proposed,and I am very excited about it. We had planned to go to the courtouse and simply file a license and be married, and then have a ceremony later when we have more money. But the more people I talked to,the more I questioned it. They say I'll regret not having a traditional ceremony. Do you think this is true?

Well my thought on this is...if this is what you really want then go for it...but the idea of having a ceremony later actually will most likely never happen. I know of serveral people that have had this same thought in mind. It just never seems to happen. So with that being said, either just do the court house ceremony and be happy with that or if you feel in your heart that you will later wish that you would have rather had a little ceremony of some sort...then wait and do just that...now I might add you don't have to go way out there to have a nice and memorable wedding ceremony...just a little example of what one of my daughters did was, she had a nice little ceremony at our local park with some family and friends. For her dress she wore a simple knee length white dress and a very simple veil, the cake was double hearts connected with their names...had a few family members bring a covered dish....the two set of parents stood beside them as they exchanged their vows...which I might add were very beautiful....so do what you feel in your heart that you know you will be happy in the end with.....Best Wishes and follow your heart and dreams.

Well I think Wedding Ceremony is the most important part of our life atleast for me it is. In recent tough days everyone search for some good and happiness moments which Wedding can provide them and in our country and culture our family dream about so many things on our weddings so how we can theft these beautiful moments from them.

Congratulations! I don't think you'll regret it as long as it is something you want to do. For example if its only because you don't have the money or if he wants to do it that way and you don't then you will regret it. But if its something your okay with and want I think its up to you.
My husband and I had a church wedding but we only had 8 people there and we went back to my parents house to have the wedding cake instead of a big reception. We were happy with it and someday maybe we will have a nicer one. For now, I'm glad we got married in church.
