As the topic reads. And if you've already get married, were you disappointed about something?

I say I'd like a small, relaxed ceremony. But I've had 50 people show up to our Thanksgiving camp trip. So I don't see how that's possible.

Go to the courthouse, sign the papers, leave.

Our wedding was fine. We had about 200 people there, and it all went well, expect for one thing.
We were going to partake in communion as part of the service, and when we got to that part, the minister leaned over to me and said "there are no emblems", and it turns out they had forgotten to prepare them.
I think an outdoor wedding would be really nice, but if the weather is an issue, that would ruin it pretty quickly.

Took everyone by surprise when the male strippers jumped out of the wedding cake.

Stay out of her way, do what you're told, don't get too shitfaced the night before, and don't let your groomsmen get too shitfaced the day of. Make it earlier in the day specifically to combat this.

Also... don't make it too long. If it's a religious ceremony, you may not have a choice, the church decides how they do a wedding.
If you have a say-so, make it short and sweet.
Everyone does the procession to music, then the officiant delivers a short welcome, then get right down to business. Keep the vows simple. Nobody wants to hear a reading from the Velveteen Rabbit. After you walk off, have a private room with some alcohol nearby so yall can de-escalate before joining the reception and being presented as Mr. and Mrs.
Thats it

Had a small ceremony with the JP at HemisFair Park in San Antonio. Just my immediate family, hers, and three of our friends from A&M who happened to be in town. Whole ceremony lasted like 15 minutes, then we ate brunch at the restaurant in the Tower of the Americas.
Loved everything about it. At first I felt bad about not giving Aggiebelle the big ceremony she wanted growing up, but looking back we quickly realized we dodged a salvo of family drama and debt. Not a single regret.
And our 6 year wedding anniversary is this upcoming Sunday

I wasn't disappointed but if we had to do it all over again, we would have had a smaller more intimate service and saved a bunch for the honeymoon.

I didn't love the church we got married at, but it was the church the wife had grown up going to, so I understood. I got to pick the priest, so it was a good compromise.
Reception and Rehearsal dinner venues were absolutely perfect. Everything about the rehearsal was perfect except: I wish I could have invited more friends (we both have huge families, most of whom RSVP'd and even more showed up), I wish my wife wouldn't have been feeling a little queesy for part of it. She basically had to take a nap for about an hour during it (not due to drinking)

This October will be 30 years for me. We had a small church traditional wedding..
If I were to do it again or if someone young would listen to my advice, I would tell you to forget spending money on a wedding. In the end, it really is senseless.
Take your money, go to a caribbean island and get married there. Don't spend tens of thousands of dollars on a wedding. Go to a island, get married, stay there for 10 days
My two cents

Would totally do this if I thought both of our families wouldn't disown us over the lack of a ceremony.

Wedding plans blow I'm in the middle of planning mine and my fiancé's. If it was my choice we would've already gone to the court house, but noooo she's the the first granddaughter on her side.

I'd kind of be ok with that. My Dad would prefer not to go to a ceremony. My mom would get over it. The rest of my family is either old grandparents, a sister I rarely talk to even though she lives with me, and some aunts, uncles, and cousins I rarely see.

Beat 'em to the punch: disown them first
