The Difference Between a Legals Only Wedding and A Simple Wedding
Planning your wedding ceremony means deciding how much personal touch you want.
Two popular choices are a legals-only wedding and a simple wedding that includes music, personal vows, and a ring exchange.
Both make your marriage official, but they offer very different experiences.
