A wedding is often expensive and a hassle to plan and carry out. Relatives put you under pressure to do various things or invite/not invite various people. The stress is huge.
Instead, you could choose to have a very quietly romantic, secret, private wedding at your honeymoon spot, like a sundown wedding on a hill in Maui with Hawaiian guitar, Hawaiian wedding dress, flowers, photos, just you and the one you love (and the clergyman + witnesses)...then, you mail out marriage announcements to friends along with invitations to a Reception to take place a few weeks after the private wedding and honeymoon. Then, when you return, you have the Reception, as simple or fancy as you like.
