Wedding and honeymoon in one-what a bargain!

If I had it to do over-I would elope. It is cheaper and more intimite for the both of you. A wedding is for all the other people. You should do what YOU want

elope baby ! , LOL

The people in Barbados are assholes (I've been there). Plus the "airport" and I do use that term loosely, reminds me of a chicken farm. Go to St. Lucia and stay at Sandals. It totally ROCKS!

I wanted to elope so badly. Really wish i had and just had a big party when we came back. So much less stress!

Does it really matter for everyone you know to be there? No you can bring them back pic and souvenirs ;) Go enjoy yourself and have a great Honeymoon

Elope.. you'll be happier for it (the family might not) but its a dang sight cheaper!

barbados

I got married at the Bellagio in Vegas...it was beautiful and I just told them what I liked and they made it happen...took all the stress out of it and I got to enjoy myself...plus all our guests had a blast.

save ur money and buy something useful afterwards

I did the big wedding - stuff always happens and people are always telling you have to do stuff you don't want to and no one really gets the perfect reception they want - go to barbados and enjoy each other and celebrate they two of you and your love!

looks good

go for it! have fun. party.

Spend your money on the honeymoon, and have a big party when you get back for all your friends and family. Thats the best part of the wedding anyway. Congratulations! Enjoy!

If you elope to Vegas the money you save could be used to have a lot of fun elsewhere.

Elope! Then spend some cash on a party for your family/friends when you get back.

funner

sounds better

Think smart! The wedding is about you & him to be not your guests.

Much less expensive and lots more fun. We did it and never regretted it.

Elope, have a party when you get home and use the extra money for your future together.

So much more fun!

it will be over before you now it. start ur life together with a little more money.

elope, the day should be about you two, not a ton of guests, + it's alot of money and stress! Have a small reception when you get back if you want.

Save your money, elope. More romantic, so much less hectic, and you have some cash to start off with. (congrats btw!)

Have a nice honeymoon between you two. It's YOUR wedding.

This way you wont hve discrepancies from family or friends. Just take those you trust most and most want to be there.

Personally I'm a fan of larger weddings. You need more than 40 guests to share your big day with! and plus youll be looking stunning and dont you want everyone to see you looking so beautiful?

With a baby on the way, saving money would be the best option.

Vegas, baby! (plus saves all the family hassle!)

Vegas is always cool, but Barbados is something special!

I have a huge wedding. Now I"m divorced. The money would have been nice!

Take all that money you'd spend on a big fancy wedding that's over in a few hours and put it into a romantic trip or your home or kids' college funds!

all that matters is the marriage dont wprry about pleasing everyone just make sure you and your man are happy

Elops in Vegas!

always elope - weddings are a hassle! Spend the money on having a bit of fun

A wedding is a day in the life. The marriage IS the life. Use your savings for a fabulous honeymoon or downpayment on a house. Or create some memories to "leave in Vegas" cause what happens there, stays there ;)

It will end up costing you about $6000 in reality, unless you elope. Good luck!

I eloped and it was so much better!! you don't have to take 500 pictures with 500 different poses. Also it will ONLY be about you two, now everyone else included!!!

or go to JP like me and spend 60.00

planning a wedding for just a few people takes the same, probably more, work than one for 100 people. It is frequently hard to find vendors for small weddings. Over the last year I have frequently wished that I had chosen vegas.

Go for it!!!! But if you want the big wedding for $3000, Go for it instead!!! Do what your heart wants!!!

Take the cash & run

The wedding is about you & no-one else. An intimate ceremony far away from home is magical. It's also a wedding & honeymoon in one! I'd recommend Barbados, though.

Barbados baby

Wedding and Honeymoon all in one

the weddings for you and your hubby i say you injoy it forget the guests lol you can even waste more on the honey moon

I was married at one time in my life and chose to have a big wedding! Now at my age I have realized the intimacy and romance definately make a marriage more exciting, and begins the marriage with excitement, and the realization that whomever you've chose should be the one to cherish this moment with!

My husband and I did Vegas five years ago and would do it all over again the same way!

I'm all for the elopement. So many of my married friends wish they had done it! Have a big party with your family when you get back!

romantic

what´s important is both your happiness, this is just about you and him...and of course, that little angel?

Highly recommended based on my personal experience!

FUN

Go have fun I wish you the best of Luck Marida

Save money and have more fun!

Much cheaper and much less stress. I wish I could do it. Will your family go?

I have always been a fan of the get hitched on your own and throw a party for your friends plan. I would invite the folks to the ceremony (if you want) and then throw a modest party at your convinience for your friends and certain reletives with drinks, food, and fun. most people hate the wedding part of the wedding anyway. anyway congrats!

Barbados or Bahamas or someplace warm and tropical. St Thomas...get married on the beach!

My husband and I eloped, but I still had a floor-length white dress and a maid of Honor. (She eloped with us, although, it should be noted, not on the honeymoon. :-) When you elope, you are just as married as if you had a big ceremony, but you have money left to start your life together. When we got back both of our families threw seperate receptions for us. (Our families live far away from each other.) So we ended up with two parties instead of one, and we didn't have to pay for it.

Have the small wedding its supposed to be a special day shared with your family. You'll get your house, etc.... theres no time limit.

Anywhere that isn't Vegas.

this one

Barbados!

Elope...but spend the $6K on yourselves. You deserve it.

big wedding it's your special day

Honey, save that extra cash for the Honeymoon!

Wedding are great but make some fun memories with just you and your love and spend the money on something else. I eloped!

way more romantic and sexy!^ ^ and cheaper, lol!^ ^

Wish I had done this!

Elope and go shopping on Kaboodle.

I eloped. So much easier on everyone, especially me.

this one will be worth the money. If you want to have the time of your life, then go with Elope.

after months of compromising with my family and my fiance's family, i say ELOPE! your wedding is for you, no matter what anyone says. so do it the stress-free way and enjoy enjoy enjoy!

We are doing a small wedding for under $3000. You don't have to elope to do that, you just have to be smart and cut out all the extravagant choices for the wedding. Keep it simple.

I would much rather elope and put the money into a house!

Barbados :D nice!

Use the extra money to start a downpayment on a house or something else. I did the small wedding, and wish now I hadn't spent so much.

if you do a destination wedding,you can have more guests for about the same price as your 40 guest idea...

I say elope and spend the money saved on your new beginning together, like housing, etc. Congrats!

Hard choice...if you elope do Barbados. I hear it's beautiful.

Elope absolutely!! The small wedding is gorgeous though....

Very small wedding? Or elope?
