Maybe even just at the courthouse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-wedding-be-like-if-you-were-getting-married-today/page/2#post-2191962 Thu, 28 May 2015 13:07:44 +0000 thestairs 2191962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm Chinese, my husband is Black. My mom strongly disapproved him, but I still choose to married him.</p> <p>I married him with nothing. We got married very simple, at the City Hall/ Courthouse with 2 witnesses: His mother and my older brother.<br /> There was No engagement ring, No wedding reception, No honeymoon. In defense of my husband, it was me that chose not to have any of those stuff.<br /> I did it to protect him too, IF one day he regret this marriage, at least there wasn’t much of any money spend on it.</p> <p>All we have is each others, our commitment, and the cheap plain matching wedding band that we both wear on our left hand.</p> <p>My mom was part of the reason why I chose Not to have wedding. There was no point of me having a wedding because nobody on my side of the family going to show up. Mom refused to gave me her blessing, and she disown me after I got married.<br /> But I have ZERO regrets. He is an AWESOME AWESOME husband!! I feel very blessed to be his wife.</p> <p>If I can do it again. I still choose him, still choose to married him the exact same way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-wedding-be-like-if-you-were-getting-married-today/page/2#post-2191113 Wed, 27 May 2015 20:13:50 +0000 sera_87 2191113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spring, tulips, outdoors, short dress, immediate family &amp; close friends only, small dinner at a restaurant as reception. The only thing I would probably "splurge" on is photography. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-wedding-be-like-if-you-were-getting-married-today/page/2#post-2191037 Wed, 27 May 2015 18:56:12 +0000 FaithFertility 2191037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@whenoceansrise: Amen!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-wedding-be-like-if-you-were-getting-married-today/page/2#post-2190966 Wed, 27 May 2015 16:48:51 +0000 whenoceansrise 2190966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>the only thing i'd do differently would be to hire a videographer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-wedding-be-like-if-you-were-getting-married-today/page/2#post-2190958 Wed, 27 May 2015 16:41:18 +0000 DillonLion 2190958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably the same (tent in a garden with everyone we love) but find a way to make do it cheaper! Our wedding was astronomically expensive compared to our financial sentiments these days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-wedding-be-like-if-you-were-getting-married-today/page/2#post-2190945 Wed, 27 May 2015 16:25:23 +0000 birdofafeather 2190945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>same, i loved it! just as long as i don't have to plan it again. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-wedding-be-like-if-you-were-getting-married-today/page/2#post-2190944 Wed, 27 May 2015 16:24:08 +0000 plantains 2190944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It would be the same, Connecticut shoreline with indoor/outdoor elements and lots of glamour. The only thing I would do differently is hire a videographer who wasn't a crook! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-wedding-be-like-if-you-were-getting-married-today/page/2#post-2190938 Wed, 27 May 2015 16:17:18 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2190938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'd keep a lot of it the same...I loved our venues (gorgeous chapel for ceremony and museum for reception). I think I'd only change the colors and style of decor, and that's only because my style has changed and trends have changed. I'd also have a smaller bridal party, probably with just my sisters and maybe 1 or 2 friends. I'd also pick a different photog. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-wedding-be-like-if-you-were-getting-married-today/page/2#post-2190927 Wed, 27 May 2015 16:04:27 +0000 Rocker2014 2190927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only thing I would change was the limo driver - I was late to my own wedding because he got lost between my house and the ceremony venue!<br /> :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-wedding-be-like-if-you-were-getting-married-today/page/2#post-2190916 Wed, 27 May 2015 15:54:51 +0000 MediaNaranja 2190916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'd do it pretty much the same. We had a small church ceremony in the morning, and then had a yummy lunch at one of our favorite restaurants. It was small (about 20 people). </p> <p>However, in alternate fantasy land, it would have been fun to do something with DH's family in South America--I would have loved to rent out an old hacienda for the weekend !! We could have gone on horseback rides and hot springs and whatnot. But since DH is not that close to his family, and neither of us are outgoing, nor do we have many friends it would have never worked. But fun to fantasize about!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-wedding-be-like-if-you-were-getting-married-today/page/2#post-2190570 Wed, 27 May 2015 11:54:46 +0000 daniellemybelle 2190570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jedeve: It's hard to plan such a big life event when you really don't have that much experience with life, ha! But like you, my wedding was beautiful and we were very lucky that my parents were so generous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-wedding-be-like-if-you-were-getting-married-today/page/2#post-2190563 Wed, 27 May 2015 11:43:01 +0000 Truth Bombs 2190563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only things that would change are my dress (which I loved at the time but styles have changed since then so I would update) and a bigger guest list to include new friends made since then. But that's it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-wedding-be-like-if-you-were-getting-married-today/page/2#post-2190559 Wed, 27 May 2015 11:42:17 +0000 MamaG 2190559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very little would change. I'd still do a Vegas wedding with my immediate family. Perhaps our dinner would be different as it wasn't my favorite restaurant ever. And I'd maybe tack on a few more days of honeymoon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-wedding-be-like-if-you-were-getting-married-today/page/2#post-2190553 Wed, 27 May 2015 11:34:32 +0000 Boogs 2190553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A tiny destination wedding. I'm sure we would still invite many, but few would come. Then we could have put the savings towards our home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-wedding-be-like-if-you-were-getting-married-today/page/2#post-2190524 Wed, 27 May 2015 11:14:58 +0000 Meridian 2190524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My wedding would be very similar! Perhaps a different florist and maybe a slightly different color scheme, but same venue, photographer, DJ, etc. This is surprising, since I became a wedding planner after my wedding and have sent almost 150 couples down the aisle in the past 7 years. I'm glad that I don't have any major wedding regrets! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-wedding-be-like-if-you-were-getting-married-today#post-2190485 Wed, 27 May 2015 10:44:52 +0000 Ra 2190485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd elope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-wedding-be-like-if-you-were-getting-married-today#post-2190474 Wed, 27 May 2015 10:40:09 +0000 hotchildinthecity 2190474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HTownMom: that's where we went too!!

It was way too big. I'd have a small wedding if we were to do it again - maybe just a quick ceremony, and then spend all of the rest of the money on a major trip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-wedding-be-like-if-you-were-getting-married-today#post-2190467 Wed, 27 May 2015 10:36:33 +0000 ms.line 2190467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: That's exactly what I did! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-wedding-be-like-if-you-were-getting-married-today#post-2190462 Wed, 27 May 2015 10:32:48 +0000 avivoca 2190462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ajsmommy: I would totally change my cake!

A smallish (~90) wedding in a beautiful courtyard of a historic hotel near my family's home in Oregon. Though, the reason we had it in Oregon was so my grandfather and best friend could attend...they have both now passed, so we probably could have it elsewhere. We only got married 3.5 years ago though, so that's probably why I wouldn't change much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-wedding-be-like-if-you-were-getting-married-today#post-2190457 Wed, 27 May 2015 10:28:52 +0000 bunnylove08 2190457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We loved everything about our wedding, except I feel we spent a little too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-wedding-be-like-if-you-were-getting-married-today#post-2190447 Wed, 27 May 2015 10:23:17 +0000 Mamaof2 2190447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought our wedding was perfect but if I could change anything it would be the bridesmaid dresses - I loved them at the time but now look at them and think "oops, sorry girls" :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-wedding-be-like-if-you-were-getting-married-today#post-2190443 Wed, 27 May 2015 10:20:00 +0000 HTownMom 2190443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hotchildinthecity: that's awesome!

We will likely do that at a vineyard since we live in wine country </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-wedding-be-like-if-you-were-getting-married-today#post-2190407 Wed, 27 May 2015 09:56:10 +0000 Anya 2190407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The same! A few exchanges on the guest list though, due to making new friends, losing touch with a few and people passing away since the wedding :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-wedding-be-like-if-you-were-getting-married-today#post-2190393 Wed, 27 May 2015 09:47:00 +0000 snowjewelz 2190393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd totally have a super small destination wedding, family only and then just host a casual party after or something! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-wedding-be-like-if-you-were-getting-married-today#post-2190376 Wed, 27 May 2015 09:32:25 +0000 jedeve 2190376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: me too!
