In my case, if I find anyone patient enough to want to marry me (and to be trustworthy and sincere enough to mean it when they tell me they want to spend the rest of their life with me - unlike the last two gits I had serious relationships with!) the most important part for me will be marrying someone I love (and that loves me back) and makes me happy. Having already planned a wedding that never happened, and realised just how much stuff there is to do and organise, I would hate for all of that to get in the way of the focus of the occasion, which is the marriage itself. By all means, as it sounds like Pud has done, i'm all for celebrating it as much as possible...but I still think that in the long run the only important thing is that you're committing to spend the rest of your life with the person that you love. I hope that doesn't sound like I'm getting at anyone here because that's not what I mean to do, I'm just putting across my opinion...and at the end of the day it's the wedding of the two persons getting married, and not anybody that does or doesn't attend, so do what you want. and if that's to hold the reception at KFC or the Ritz, it's up to you.
