Yes, I agree with Moosmom on that one. My first wedding was huge and lavish. We spent a gazillion dollars on one day that was a big blur. The second time around, Mike and I just went to Lake Tahoe with a few select family members and married in a cute chapel. We took all the money we'd saved and bought a house. I think it was a much better move. BTW, I was still paying on the first wedding for the first year or two that Mike and I were together. lol.
