Sometimes I think that people get so carried away with wedding planners, decorations, flowers, dresses, music and everything else that they forget what the occasion is all about. My wedding was a very small affair where I wanted to put the emphasis on the fact that I was making a commitment to my husband rather than anything else. I did want to look nice for the wedding pictures but I was very happy with my cheap dress and I felt like a princess in it anyway. Despite it being cheap for a wedding dress, it was still the most expensive thing that I had worn. I had some lovely flowers and felt fantastic and looking back at my wedding photos now, although if I was doing it today I would do it differently, I am still happy at how I looked and especially how happy I looked. I do think that it is nice to have a celebration but I am not sure whether the solemn occasion of a wedding is the right place for it. I think even the guests are often thinking about the food and dancing rather than the commitment that the couple are making to each other.
