You spend thousands of dollars and it more or less ends up being a blur.

If I could do it again I'd totally elope and then invite friends and family to a group camping site to set things on fire and play music at a high volume.
That's pretty much how I feel about my wedding as well. It was nice, I had a good time and I hope others did as well, but I'm not sure it was worth all the time/stress related to it. My sister got married about a year later and I saw her going through the same fights/stress that we had a with ours and it just kinda cemented my opinion that a small wedding with close friends/immediate family is the way to go.
