Traditional weddings tend to snowball into expensive, time-consuming, and stressful events. From endless debates about culling the guest list to deciding whether your guests would enjoy a sit-down meal or roaming cocktails more, planning a huge wedding can sometimes distract you from the things you truly care about…like the soulful connection you share and this crazy, once-in-a-lifetime occasion where you get to say ‘yes’ to an eternity of incredible adventures together (and arguing over petty stuff like how many years after expiry is that soy sauce still good for).

And guess what? You DON’T have to throw a big wedding shebang if you don’t want to. Focus on what best reflects the two of you, your journey together thus far and how you’d like to celebrate your everlasting commitment to each other. Forget the rules, ditch the traditions. Do it YOUR way.
