I sometimes think about how other people have less happy relationships than mine, and that makes me sad for them

Did they not love you before you got married? Only thing that changed for me was -ยฃ10k
I always find it weird how some people spend thousands just to announce "our relationship is the same, but now we told the government"
It's the ultimate party to celebrate your relationship with those you love and care about and people who have seen your relationship grow. The documents portion is a very small section of the night or weekend or whatever. Besides the bill I would love to experience my wedding weekend again, only thing I'd change is not inviting one person who tried to make it about themselves and tried their best to actively spoil the weekend but it wasn't that big of deal in the end.
What's stopping you? Go do it!
I mean besides the main thing mentioned, lots of things. Doesnt have to be the same giant party as before but that's why I'd want to experience that day again, in the 3 years many people have had kids, couples have broken up, family moved farther away, etc, it wouldn't be able to be the same.
I'm sorry to hear that, let's hope a new chance presents itself eventually
Think of it more as "this is the best excuse we are ever gonna have to throw a big party where we get to decide the guests, the food, etc etc"
Though I do think too many people spend a lot of money because they feel like they "are supposed to (have a big wedding)" and not because they actually want to
Hahaha, I've never needed an excuse! Mayhaps :p
F what you're "supposed to", really. And I'll freely tell any family member or friend that. Rudely if I need to. I've heard some of the dumbest stuff come from people just because of weird traditions.
