Hi everyone,
I've been using this site a while and decided to venture into the forum for some advice.
We have been planning our wedding for a couple of months and have had a bit of a "what if" moment.
Im not one for big days, center of attention, and the thought of all the people looking at me gives me mild panic attacks (not a good idea in a corset dress!) and we were working out guest list and due to him having hardly any family (I'm talking 2, maybe 3 adults, and 1 child) and my family being fairly spread out and complicated, we have started to talk about skipping the big 'Wedding' as we wasn't having a religious ceremony anyway, and it just being the 2 of us, our daughter (who is 3) an a couple of photographers (plus a registrar obviously).
however I have NO idea where to start looking for ideas and places. We aren't restricted to an area although we are in Essex, nor date (although summer either this or next year would be nice) but we don't need a whole venue, and I don't know where to start. I've never even thought about wedding stuff before now so it's all a bit overwhelming.
Does anyone have any helpful tips or ideas? Has anyone done it themselves? As long as we have an amazing day together as a family and some beautiful pictures to show everyone and keep forever, the rest doesn't matter to us, we just want to be together and be married, I don't need a hundred people there to validate how I feel about him.
