  I’m amazed at how so many of my friends complain about being in debt or broke but they had big weddings that cost an arm and a leg. Big elaborate Weddings should not be a priority unless you actually have the money. I don’t have sympathy for people who spend 30k-40k + on a wedding and then complain about money issues afterwards.
context: Upvote for the unpopular opinion, nice one.
  That aside, I’ve always held that you can hold a pretty cheap ceremony, spend a little to basically have a piss up, meal and general celebration with family (which as an aside functions as two family reunions in one) and then use the actual money for a decent honeymoon. 
  Seems better to me that way, some may disagree but hey, it’s your wedding. Do what you want, who’s gonna tell you otherwise? >
  
  That's what my husband and I did!! We went to a local lake with our parents and witnesses and had an outdoor fall ceremony. Family took some pics of us and we had a fantastic time because we weren't crazy stressed about it all! >
  
  How is this nsfw? Do you work for a wedding planner? >
  
  Because they’re Not Slightly a Fan of Weddings?
