I also lean towards a civil wedding without all the fuss. But my partner is all about the big fancy wedding. We're currently trying to find a middle ground that works for both of us.
Speaking of wedding venues, have you checked out Hunter Valley? I recently saw some pictures of Hunter Valley wedding venues, and they look absolutely stunning. We're hoping to find something similar but maybe on a smaller scale.
Anyway, I'm new to this forum, and it's great to see so many different perspectives on weddings. It can be a tough decision to make, but I'm sure we'll all find something that works for us in the end. Best of luck with your planning!

Nice one
