Celebrate Big & Celebrate Love!

Alli and Matt’s wedding day serves as a beautiful reminder that sometimes, bigger really is better. They initially debated whether to have an intimate ceremony or a larger celebration with all their loved ones. Ultimately, they recognized the significance of the moment:

“We went back and forth on having a intimate wedding versus a larger gathering with all of our friends and family. One of the points I thought was really important, was that this was probably going to be the only time in our lives where all of the people who are important to us would likely be in one place together, where we would have the opportunity to celebrate with them all at once. Realizing that really helped us soak in the day and feel so grateful for everyone who attended.” – Alli & Matt

This insight truly captures the essence of a wedding—a chance to bring together those who mean the most to you in a joyous celebration. Their decision to go for a larger gathering allowed them to cherish every moment, surrounded by the warmth and love of friends and family.

So if you’re pondering whether to scale back your wedding, consider the potential of gathering everyone you hold dear. You might find that it’s not just a celebration, but a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create lasting memories together. Celebrate big, celebrate love!
