3 Major Reasons To Choose A Micro-Wedding

So, let's just get this straight, I'm not married, not engaged, and probably won't be anytime soon… Unless I can somehow con my current man into a proposal for my graduation, mostly just so we can go Twitter famous like this couple.

At least right now, I can't imagine myself wanting a Wedding With A Capital W.

My personality can be described in two words: family oriented—it's no joke. I can't imagine a day stressing over anything or anyone other than my built-in best friends. With this being said, I'll be throwing the most ravishing micro-wedding for my parents, sister, grandparents, uncle, and two best friends that you ever did see, oh and whoever my fiancé invites.

A micro-wedding is just like any other wedding, just with fewer people, less food, less money, and less stress. The couple will probably invite only a small number of guests, no more than 20 and sometimes as low as 8. With a smaller number of people, couple are free to concentrate on the details.

So here's why you should also consider a micro-wedding:

1. Flexibility

Have you always dreamed of being married in the middle of the rainforest? On the top of a mountain? On a yacht in the Atlantic? With dolphins in the Bahamas? With 10 people, these outlandish ideas suddenly become absolutely feasible. Transportation, accommodations, and even physical space are so much easier to plan with a small guest list.

2. Intimacy 

One of the biggest benefits of having a small wedding is the small guest list, and one of the biggest benefits of having a small guest list is that instead of trying to say a passing hello to 150 randos, you will get proper face time with every guest you've invited.

3. Make It Memorable

A small wedding gives you two the opportunity to get your creative juices flowing and make your wedding a reflection of your personalities and relationship. And it's inevitable, with a larger wedding to lose some of the Honeymoon fund to centerpieces and that extra plate for some long-lost cousin's plus one, with a small wedding you can splurge on the honeymoon and not just be another couple that went to Sandals.

All in all, just trust me, making your vows to your partner in life, surrounded only by those you love the most, in an incredible location, is an experience no one will ever forget.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

1991
Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
