Right. I didn't necessarily mean the price tag, either, but I tend to see "Big Deal" weddings as being those of people spending more than $25,000 in a church with a huge party with too many people they don't know, etc. I don't really see the point of those, I guess.
But yes, I definitely saw it as being very important in terms of life significance, though ktsp wasn't as keen on all the "technicalities" and expectations pressed on him... he would have preferred a mutual agreement as an engagement, and a simple courthouse deal with a small party afterwards. I wanted a story to tell from the engagement, and I wanted to wear a poofy white dress in the autumn, and some cake and music and dancing, and vows that we'd written ourselves... and a few guests. We were both very happy with the compromise, and we both felt that the event helped us celebrate the personal significance of the day.
