Hey DQ - I'm so glad that your wedding plans are back on. I know for a while there you weren't sure you two could make it past the fighting.
When Mrs. Cinco and I married we had both families and friends. I wouldn't call it a large wedding but it was not small either. It was a evening wedding so no food. Only the two cakes and drinks which cut down on a lot of planning. Fairly low key yet still a touch of pressure.
We later said that we wish we had eloped but looking back we get many comments about how beautiful the ceremony was from those who attended. If I were to do it now I know I would lean towards the elope side of the equation. It would make it a much more personal experience for the couple. As you say looking into your lover's eyes with complete happiness.
