what was your wedding ceremony like , Abigail ?   my husband and I got married in a registry office with just two friends there as witnesses . But then we had three parties to celebrate .   three parties ? That's quite a lot . That must have been expensive !   well , since my husband and I are from two different countries , and we live in a third country , we decided to have one in each country . It wasn't actually that expensive .   were your parents upset that they weren't there to see you get married ?   I would have liked them to be there , but they couldn ’ t afford to fly out to see us , and we couldn't afford to fly out to see them , so they understood .   did your husband's family get to meet your family ?   my husband's parents flew out to meet my family when we got married in my hometown , so that was great . Some people spend ridiculous amounts of money on extravagant wedding receptions , but we agreed t   that makes sense . Did you go on a honeymoon ?
