to Wed or not to

Some people have told me they see no reason to get married. Others feel that one should get married so their life together can fully begin. Some have told me that weddings are a huge waste of money and that they should have spent the money on something else. If you want to get married but are thinking money wise, why not tone it down a bit? You do not have to have a huge wedding party nor do you need to have a huge reception. You could easily get by with only your closest family and friends and your day would be just as special.
Or if you decide a wedding is not for you why not do a commitment ceremony? This says that you are serious about eachother and want to share the rest of your lives together and are commited but you are not legally bound to eachother as the government does not see you married.
Either way you decide to go any wedding or commintment ceremony will be perfect. The thing that makes it perfect is who you are spending the rest of your life with not the kind of money you spent or people who are there.
