I'm not engaged yet, so feel a little cheeky coming over here, but my SO and I have been talking about marriage. Our ideal plan is to get officially engaged in March and then get married in September. However, my sister is getting married in June and I obviously don't want to encroach on her time - but I don't want to wait too long either, as we are not living together until marriage and want to start our lives together. (My sister is not the possessive sort and is fine with us getting married a few months later).
I've never wanted the big wedding thing and would be happiest with a small civil ceremony with just immediate family present. But my parents are set on having a big celebration of some sort, although it would not have to be on the same day as the wedding, and they don't want it to be too close to my sister's (neither do I).
I was wondering what you think about having a small private wedding for just parents and siblings (like an elopement with a few extras), and then a party for everybody maybe 4-6 months later? Would you think it was weird or does it sound ok? Do you know anyone who has done this?
