Many couples decide to get married at a courthouse and postpone the big ceremony & reception. Some couples sometimes feel embarrassed but there is NO reason to be. It’s not about what others may think up or the image that you want to portray to your loved ones. It's nothing to do with the wedding; it's what your relationship is about and the commitment that you have decided to make. Setting the tone of a genuine and passionate marriage means so much more than a lavish wedding! So if it’s because money is too tight or time is a constraint, if you are sincere in your feelings and ready to spend the rest of your life with the same person, go ahead and take that leap. Save the big celebration for your 1st or 5th year anniversary...because the real celebration is a healthy & lasting marriage!
Here are a few different alternatives to a big wedding:• Go to the courthouse; invite your close family and friends over for dinner afterwards.
• Get married immediately after Sunday Morning Worship! How excited would your church family be to be able to witness such a milestone in your life?
• Have a small ceremony in your backyard, front room, or front porch! You can ask your Pastor, an ordained Minister, or a judge to come and perform the ceremony. (Or Carolyn Burke, St. Louis’s popular Wedding Officiant)
