Why most gays DON'T have a big wedding ?

[Joshua_me]

I guess I don't really see it as a waste of money.

It's a day to mark and celebrate your love. A day for showing your family and friends a fabulous time. And, a day that you will likely remember for the rest of your life.

What in the world is wrong with that ?

Well we have our civil partnership ceremony on the 28th of this month so 3 week to go and have only 20 people going including our self's. We don't want big.

That is what I would do, something small. congratulations by the way

Big weddings cost $$$$. Better to have a small intimate do and spend the $$$$ on a great honeymoon, the home, ...etc.etc.

Exactly!
We spent twice as much on the honeymoon as we did for a simple garden ceremony for 50 family and close friends. Everyone had a great time and we aren't burdened with debt just to show off. Not our style.

Well if I was straight I would've had a huge wedding, because in Indian weddings you invite every person who is related to you (unless there is beef than of course you wouldn't invite those people ), all of the in-laws of every person that is related to you, and of course you're friends and friends of your family. But since I'm gay I'm glad I won't be having all those people at my wedding. I seriously doubt many of them will come now when they find out I'd be marrying a guy, which is a good thing, because I wouldn't want all these people I've never met at my wedding anyway.

+1. Same here. Everyone you know and don't has to be invited. Wedding in my family have a minimum of 300 people. I would love to have the traditional wedding, but the whole gay thing wouldn't make too many people in my family "happy".

But hey I just saved myself from throwing a party for 300 plus.
