People have turned their noses up courthouse weddings for far too long.
The truth is, it's the perfect option for those who want a small, no-fuss wedding. They will save money, keep their guest list small, and can still throw a party afterward.
Here's why courthouse weddings need to become the next normalized thing in 2021.
It's your day, not anyone else's, and if people have opinions they should definitely keep it to themselves.
Unfortunately, though, people tend to love shouting their opinions from the rooftops.
Like cutting costs, or going to a courthouse to get married.
Listen, most people don't have the money (or even time) to plan a huge wedding. It happens!
Factor in the emotional tax of planning a wedding and that number seems even higher.
This includes the stress of wanting everything to be perfect.
You don't have to book a church or go all-out with your wedding attire (although, you can if you want to), and lots of people save money on reception costs by going to a restaurant after.
Personally, I'd rather have a crazy cool honeymoon than a huge wedding that I will never recover from financially.
But that's just me.
Everyone's favorite Hollywood couple, Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard, wed in a Beverly Hills courthouse in 2013.
They shared a ton of pictures of their day, and the courthouse didn't make it any less special.
"I also wear more than enough party dresses," Bell told People.
We appreciate these celebs normalizing these decisions. If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for us!
And how gorgeous those courthouse wedding photos will look!
Most importantly, if someone tries to put you down for it, clap back at them right away. It's your day, so do what you want!
