I am excited for marriage but have no as in zero excitement about a wedding. I would like to just sign the papers and be done with it. I’ve never had any one in my social circle go this route so I feel weird about how I want nothing in the way of a wedding. My fiancé is okay with it as long as we do something small with his family in his home country. I told my parents I’ll roll with whatever small thing they may want to do to but, left up to me, I would do nothing. Don’t know if it’s weird
