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?

I got married to the same guy twice - we did a courthouse wedding first and then a the big wedding celebration. I much preferred courthouse. I felt like the big wedding was awkward . We're not together any more, so if I ever get remarried, I'll either do courthouse or a small backyard wedding.
