thank you Maleficent, and my other humble friends,
a bit more update:
1) We plan to buy a new house this year and move in by Aug 26, the ceremony won't take place until next year. My uncle (dad's brother) owns a 400 seat restaurent, so I figure I can get a date we want no problem for the facility
2) Friends wise we will max out at 50, but we both have a lot of business associates so that can balloon to 250, I really don't want to invite that many people. It is a first marriage for both but my girlfriend has a son, so I want to keep it low.
3) Her sisters keeps telling her that the wedding should be this and that, and I need to buy a engagement ring soon, like really soon, I proposed without a ring (now that's the unthinkable, I can't believe I did that). My girlfriend doesn't want me to over spend but her sisters and friends all have like 1.2crt rings, so that's like $10G.
4) In my view, there isn't really anything to do, the marriage license is easy, the wedding ceremony is most likely about invitations and who to invite. So my stress comes from I don't know what's the big deal about it, everyone tells me it's a lot of stuff to do but they can't give me more than three things every time I ask for details
