Having a private wedding can be positive in so many ways.
The money you save compared to a traditional wedding, how the wedding is truly just about you as the couple and nothing else, not worring about pleasing family and friends, less stress planning the wedding—all this effort can be spent on more important things.
Be prepared to deal with some hurt feelings from family and friends.
When others find out that you got married, feelings can be hurt from being left out of the loop and not invited to your wedding. That's the nature of people and relationships. But when you are thinking about what matters most, just you two, hurt feelings can be easier to deal with.
