These are the two main adjectives where my wedding next year will revolve
around. Yes, I aim for simple yet intimate wedding. Who wouldn’t want
to favour a stress-free wedding over a grand yet complicated one?
The planning of a simple wedding is becoming popular by today’s society. More young brides and grooms are having nontraditional simple weddings in lieu of the lavish wedding parties that perhaps the mother of the bride had. But this doesn’t mean they are giving up stylish, elegant affairs. Simple weddings will still be remembered for many years by the wedding guests and bridal party.

Reception costs have skyrocketed to the point that a great deal of brides are grooms are now looking at out of the way places such as parks, beaches and backyards to create a simple affair. Some of the most memorable weddings usually occurred at places that had special meaning to the bride and groom. I will always remember our registrar wedding in October 2001. It was very simple, and the reception was held in our back garden, just surrounded by my husband’s family and a couple of his friends. I could only wish for my family from the Philippines that time to come over, but I know it would have been very expensive for us especially we were only starting our lives together. Our simple wedding had no theme, no need to prepare for invitations and give aways and no need to hire a car since we only used our own. It was really a wedding on a budget! But it was a very memorable one, and stress free! This is actually what I wanted for my church wedding next year in Cebu. I wanted it to be simple, intimate yet memorable for us, my family and friends. I know it is every woman’s desire to have a lavish and grand wedding but not me. There was a point when I like the grandeur and big celebrations but as I have heard, the bigger the event, the more complicated and stressful it can be. And I definitely would not want that.
