The only things a good wedding really require are the bride, the groom, an officiant, and love. Everything else that people seem determined to have just distracts and can even add unnecessary stress to your special day. Regardless of how simple or extravagant your wedding, remember to enjoy it.
One of the major things that impacts your wedding day and married life will be religion. Of course, by this time, the two of you should have it worked out how things will operate on that level, but getting the families on the same page may be more difficult.
Have your wedding at a location owned by friends or family. For example, a large backyard could be the perfect setting, and you will save a lot of money this way. You can even have someone come in and clean it up before the big day.
