I've learned that weddings are for the parents.
With that being said, if you choose to have a wedding on your trip, maybe consider having a formal reception upon your return. That will give your family and friends an opportunity to share in your new union.![]()
I got married in Reno at a place called the Commission for Civil Marriage (or something like that) and we like to joke that we've been committing civil marriage ever since. I think it cost $35.00. I highly recommend it. Especially if you value civility.
Best wishes for a rich and generous love!
