That game we play: Who needs a big wedding?

I've dreamed of my wedding day ever since I was a little girl. I always wanted the big, lavish Cinderella wedding fairy tale. Just so you know, that fantasy came complete with a big, poofy wedding dress, hundreds of guests, an amazing reception with dinner and dancing and, of course, a tiara.
