“You don’t marry the person you can live with; you marry the person you can’t live without” -Unknown
As we are sure you’ve learned by now, this entire year has forced everyone to go about their daily life in a completely different manner. Certain milestone events we had planned for in the future have all been upended and put on hold, or so we thought.
As COVID 19 dominates the news cycle, and travel plans are put on the back burner, many happy couples looking to tie the knot this year have had to alter plans on short notice, some even canceling their big day all together.
Others, however, will stand to not let anything get in the way of their love. This year the trend of “Mini-monies” or miniature ceremonies is taking off like wildfire.
Many happy couples look forward to their massive storybook weddings with all of their family & friend’s in attendance to celebrate the love they share together. The decision to put your big day on hold, or even cancel it, can’t be an easy one.
That is why more and more couples are looking to hold smaller & safer ceremonies in their own backyards. Having a toned-down ceremony really dials in what is most important in a wedding day, you & the person you’re marrying.
There’s plenty of upsides to scaling down your wedding into a “mini-mony”, one of which is saving money. In today’s world we are all looking to save some cash here and there, and this is a great way to do so.
Many couples are taking their massive wedding budgets & rolling them into different aspects of life that come after the ceremony.
Some couples are renting RV’s & traveling the county with their significant others. Others are rolling them into down payments on first homes. Giving up a fairytale wedding can’t be easy, but many couples are making the best of the situation.
Changing your wedding plans this year doesn’t always have to be comprise. Many couples are holding more intimate “mini-monies” with their close family & friends and opting to reschedule their more elaborate ceremonies when it’s safe to do so.
After all, no one ever said you could only have one wedding.
