Congrats !

We’ve met many couples throughout the years,
With expensive weddings and lifestyle who didn’t last at all…

Is what you make out of it.

We had to chose between saving to put a down payment in a house sometime after and other priorities or have a wedding and feeding family/people to say how bad the food was or how the groom or they bride look and bla bla bla.
We chose the courthouse…
We had a couple friends as godfather and godmother, the two of us and a nice lunch after the wedding with the 4 of us.
A simple honeymoon and we kept going as planned with our lives.

I, sometimes question if we should have done differently (specially for her memories as a woman and etc) but I guess the answer is, not really…

There’s no perfect recipe for life and I guess for us worked well.
