What was your wedding song?

Sounds kind of selfish, honestly.

Yeah, you're probably right. But my wife and I felt that the stress/hassle/expense of a big wedding and reception just wasn't worth it. We felt that the wedding was ultimately about us, and that we had the right to be selfish about it. We have no regrets.

I'm glad (honestly) that your more traditional wedding suited you, and that it was worth the expense (or investment).

To be clear, I don't mean to suggest that you are a selfish person, just kind of how the reasoning as stated came across to me. And I certainly don't judge anyone's choice in wedding celebration or ceremony (except maybe my younger sister who eloped with her much-older rich fiance). My wife and I are very traditional, as are our families, with whom we are very close, and most people on both sides live close by, so it would have been hurtful to many of them to not be included in our big day. I always thought of the formal ceremony/vows as "our" event, while the reception was a chance to let everyone else in on the fun. Plus I was 30 and pretty well established in life, so we could afford to splurge on a once-in-a-lifetime party that made her feel like the belle of the ball for a day.

Mine started out that way...then she turned.

That's actual selfishness.

No, that's a pair of very tight-knit families, who have/would have included us in their major life events, and which we both felt very fortunate to have there with us. Like I said, I have a sister who ran off to marry a rich older guy on a beach with a couple of friends, after having a big engagement party and then supposedly calling off their planned wedding. That was legitimately hurtful to people who cared about them both.

Hey, some of you guys don't want to have a big traditional wedding, or play the tough-guy card when it comes to picking a wedding song, go right ahead. That's not us.

Family > money
