It sounds like you both had a good time at the wedding! It's always nice to celebrate that with the people whom are near and dear to you. :)

It was very simple, just what we wanted.

I like that a lot! If I were to ever marry, I would want something simple too, with the main focus on my spouse heh. Either just the two of us for the wedding and skipping to honey moon, or having a rad reception with close friends. I have a LOT of family, but not close to them---only my brothers I am close to, they're my best friends.

For now, I have anniversary to use as excuse to party, go out, and spoil my partner lol.

Do you revist place for anniversaries or celebrate your anniversary? Was curious, my parents never celebrated their anniversary and I thought that was a common thing amongst couple's while I was young...but my dad also didn't celebrate holidays and my mother only celebrated catholic holidays and that's it.

Note: we didn't invite my husband's parents because we were not sure they would approve of legal marriage. They are supportive of our relationship but also they are devout Christians, father-in-law has expressed doubts about gay marriage in the past, so we didn't want to put them in an awkward position.

That is considerate of you and understandable. It makes it less awkward for both parties. This sounds cheesy, but. . .hopefully they come around to not feeling awkward about gay marriage. I have a lot of religious relatives that are against it, my mother is one of them, but acts like it's "ok" while making snide remarks. As long as HER kids aren't gay/bi she's happy but woops. Lol
