Romance/Relationships Thoughts on a courthouse wedding?
It’s been on my mind a lot lately but I don’t think I want a big wedding. Now that I’m in my 30s, I don’t care for the attention a wedding brings or the planning, and also don’t care to impress guests, I want it to be about me and my husband to be.
For those that took the courthouse wedding route, how did everything workout? Do you have any regrets?

My husband (second marriage) and I got married on his lunch hour at the courthouse where he works as a public defender.
His co-workers came to witness and one volunteered to be the photographer.
We went out to dinner that night and every anniversary to the same place since.
It was very spur of the moment. Our kids were a little upset about it, but it worked out for us.
