DEARSHYBRIDE>> Yes, I do. A wedding doesn’t have to be big and fancy to be beautiful and meaningful. I suggest you and your boyfriend be married quietly in a ceremony officiated by a justice of the peace or clergyperson of your choice. Ask your relatives and close friends to accompany you while you take your vows and have a small celebration afterward commensurate with your budget.
