Everyone is allowed to have the wedding they want to have, within reason. As long as you can afford it, or have help to afford it, what you say goes. You don’t have to bend to convention if you don’t want to. You don’t have to wear a big white dress and invite everyone you’ve …

You can’t always get what you want. But sometimes you do… and you’re still not satisfied. This is one of life’s cruelest lessons. It’s summed up by the phrase «be careful what you wish for.» There are plenty of movies, shows, and books that remind us of this rule. We don’t always know what’s best …
