congrats. It is truly a wonderful beautiful sacrament. Being traditional you probably wont have the problem of spending more time and effort on the wedding than on the marriage. :read-paper:
I had a traditional mass then an untraditional belly dancer :confused1: which I now regret and I had traditional music (country western polka) but then also had rock n roll secular stuff which I also regret
Looking back I wouldnt have invited 300people I would of invited immediate family and immediate friends and kept it less stress low key and have money for home, vehical , debts etc
I also would recomend not taking a honeymoon right away. Believe me u need it 6 months down the road more. Honestly it takes time to get use to each other.
Now Im not sure if it was a Jєωιѕн Custom but I read somewhere that in some cultures the bride n groom would spend the first few days just visiting relatives and eating and socializing. I thought that was neat. It gave it a more comfortable feel to the whole marriage idea and kept it family orientated. It also gave a chance for friends n relatives to get to know the new couple.
I did all my fighting before I got married but I did have a few in the begining. So thats one aspect of marriage that can be hard to get through. Being trad I hope u both believe in DEATH do u part. That nice person your married too can sometimes have a bad day its called being human. Thats why Id save the honeymoon for when you both will really appreciate it. Right now anywhere is a vacation cause your probably both excited and in love :cheers:
