married it wa a very small wedding and only about 6 people were there. Including me and my husband. I rally want a real wedding with bridesmaids you know the whole nine yards. How many people have had a small wedding and had a bigger one later? Do you think this is wrong for me to feel this way?

We got married abroad, just the two of us - no relatives!
This didn't go down well with some family members but at the end of the day it is about the two of you, not pleasing everybody else. Are you thinking of marrying another person now or having another ceremony for you and current husband - Like renewing vows?

I really really want a small wedding. My partner doesn't. I don't want to have to walk down the isle and spend soo much money on one day when I'd be just as happy gettingmarried in front of my immediate family in my back yard. Sure, in 10 years time I might want to do it again properly. I don't think it's wrong to want a nice big wedding at all! People renew their vows all the time. You can make it as big as you like! Go for it.

I wanted a big wedding but everything was going haywire..too many people wanted to be in the wedding and acting like its their wedding..I wanted to do what I wanted and one would get upset if the other is in it so we just eloped there was nobody with us...No its not wrong for you to feel that way.

Donot feel like this.It doesnot matter if the wedding is small or big.What matters is the success of marriage?If you are happy with your marriage it has more value in your life.A big wedding with unsuccessful married life is it good?My brother at first had a registry marriage that is a small legal marriage with 10 peoples.After one month his social marriage was held with 300 peoples that is the bigger one.

As I understand it, you can certainly have a large wedding after the intial one on your 5th or 10th anniversary (renewal of vow ceremony)... or just have a large reception after the fact (you know tomkat style)... Really the whole point of a wedding is to announce to the world your love of the person next to you... so personally I can't imagine why you couldn't have another wedding that actually meets your needs... I was lucky enough to have had my perfect wedding the first time around and can certainly understand your need to do it right... I wish you all the best with this!
