The excitement that builds up before a wedding rises to a very high intensity. Let's face it the event is a major milestone in ones life. You are still the same person you were before the wedding. When the wedding day passes the excitment level goes down. I guess it is sort of like anything you really want in life. You get it and then you find that while it is okay it is not the be all and end all. Relationships are different in that you can get excited all over again doing things together. The excitement waxes and wanes but it is up to you and our spouse to keep the excitement alive. That is sometimes a hard thing to do in a work a day world. Marriage involes commitment and work but the payoffs are so great!!!
There is the excitement of getting your first place together. There is the excitement of your first child. There are the milestones in the lives of your children and the same between you and your spouse.
What's done is done. You are apparently happily married so an inexpensive wedding has not affeted your relationship. I wish I had a small intimate wedding and saved my money for things my wife and I really could have used. 33,000 for a one day affair is nuts if you ask me but that is whta my wife wanted. I could have gone for the local Legion Hall with 6 foot wedges.salads, and soda/beer!
My mom and dad got married with two witnesses and then had dinner in a restaraunt. They had nine kids and had a very deep love until my fathers death. Money is a passing thing. Love is far more valuable than anything else.
My .02 cents is to go hold your spouse and ponder whether an expensive party realy change your feelings for him? I think you know the answer already!
