What is your opinion of wedding nowadays and what are you planning (or did)???

Personally, I would go for "No wedding, big honeymoon ($$$)" but I know that because of family and friends that I will most likely have to go with "Small wedding, big honeymoon ($$$)". I guess the honeymoon part depends on money, but I am pretty good with money, so it probably won't be a problem. Anyways, a big honeymoon costs about $6000 (nice cheap tropical country), big wedding, over $20000, screw that Wink

Or, you could have a nice, small, simple wedding in that tropical paradise. That way everyone who goes gets a holiday, too.

Ok..picked out the option that was closest to what we did....

We had a big wedding here in Busan. About 300 guests. That was my wife's parents idea. It was a great day.

Honeymoon was small in that we went to an out of way spot where we were alone.

Does that answer your questions?

We had a big wedding (over 100 guests) and a big honeymoon - 2 months, 7 country in Europe.

One of my friends just eloped with her guy- they had a small wedding on the beach, while on vacation. When they came back, they had a semi formal reception with friends and family to celebrate.
Saved them lots of money on things like dresses, flowers, the church, etc not to mention the headaches of planning such a thing

We had two smallish weddings - a traditional one in Korea (the guests paid for themselves and we put up only 900,000won), and one in a park in Canada with only my close relatives which number about 100 (a couple of thousand dollars in a small town).

We also had a small honeymoon in Guam because my husband only had a few days off.

I wouldn't do Guam as a honeymoon if I could have a do-over, but spending very little on the weddings and honeymoon meant lots of money leftover for more permanent things like a big down payment. One day in my life or a number of years of financial security - I know which one I would pick.

Covered all bases:
1 Large wedding in Korea and 1 mini-honeymoon at the Novotel in Gangnam
1 small wedding in Canada and a quick run down to Niagara Falls plus a three week honeymoon in Europe before returning to Korea.

Exhausting Wink

City Hall wedding in Seoul (small), big honeymoon in Thailand, big party in the US.

We're really happy we did it that way.

We had a huge wedding in Korea. Cheezy wedding hall with all the trimmings.

We've yet to have a proper honeymoon. But we're thinking Cozumel.
