James has said many wise things on this list, but this is
right up there.  My wife and I spent so much time planning, and
(for example) we both really wanted a nice dessert table.  Neither
of us ever got a chance to touch the desserts...because we
were seeing all our friends and family and having a great
time.  Would have been great to have some dessert...but I don't
regret missing it.

Spend enough money to have a good time, and invite a few of
those people who might not be able to come (but who you'd really
like to see).  Let someone else have the "ohmighod this must be
expensive" wedding.

Definitely.  Good luck to Joshua...and here's hoping that
someone spell-checks the invitations...       =8-)
