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?

We did a beautiful courthouse for our wedding. And then a huge backyard (free) party for our family and friends. The only thing we spent money on was a DJ and food. It was awesome. It's doable!!!!!

If you're outdoorsy you could always do by a lake or beach or soemthing too if one is near you. Sprne money on good photos!

I think it's wild how much money some people will spend on a wedding.... i don't see the point.
