That sounds a bit spoilt, doesn't it?
We've been together 7 years, have a 4yo DD. Both of us in our 40s and I've been married before (no children from that marriage).
So a grand extravagant affair wouldn't be appropriate, nor is it what I want.
But I would like something elegant, special and memorable with about 50 guests. Have found bathe perfect place and will cost about 7k including all the extras such as cake, invites, outfits etc.
However DP hates being the center of attention and would far rather a registry office with 20 guests followed by a meal in a restaurant and then a party in the evening in a village hall for about 70. This will cost about far, far less.
As one of us has to compromise, it makes sense for me to do so as it will save us money which we could spend on something else (budget isn't the deciding factor).
But how do I throw myself enthusiastically into organising a wedding if it isn't the sort of event I really want?
