our magistrate at the paris city hall was just fine enough for us but since family didn't come to that both sides wanted to do things in their respective countries
we said fine but we aren't doing anything we are already married but we will show up both sets of parents went in a room and worked something out
we paid for nothing except stationery and i wrote/made the invitations and we showed up i think we paid for our hotel room in both cities
his side of the family did an amazing job with an actual church wedding and reception and my side had a nice reception but it really wasn't necessary we didn't even ask for gifts from guests
i'm still anti-wedding tho
