I think there are two main meanings for people to hold weddings today: on the spiritual level, to leave beautiful memories for the couple; On the functional level, give the parents of newlyweds a chance to get back the money sent by others when they get married. If you are willing to get married without a wedding, this problem can be solved as long as it does not affect the chances of both parents getting back the money they gave.
When my primary school classmates got married, it was because the man's family was in financial difficulties, and the couple and parents were real people, so they only held a sumptuous banquet at the man's family and the woman's family, saving the ceremony. Naturally, guests can't afford less money when they come to drink for the couple, and they don't delay the parents' collection of money. This not only saves the wedding expenses, but also recovers the wedding money given to other families in the early stage, which is just in line with the idea of the subject.
When I got married, I held a ceremony and didn't find a wedding company. The host is a friend of my father's. Because of his nature of work, he is very familiar with hosting this set. The camera is my husband's uncle. His skill in earning extra money on weekdays is to take ceremony photos for others. Because all the relatives and friends are invited to help, the ceremony naturally doesn't cost money. The process of the ceremony is a simple form, just a grand ceremony at the banquet. We all think that letting the guests eat and drink well is the focus of the wedding, and everything else is fleeting. A different kind of wedding left a good memory for my husband and me, or because of the banquet, it naturally did not affect our parents to take back the money they had sent before.
The above two methods can be used for reference, no matter which one is chosen, I think they can help the subject solve the problem.
