I’ve seen that the courthouse method can work, but it’s one of those things where both parties are truly honest about what they want and need but also with an understanding of what they are missing out on. Those things someone didn’t admit they wanted (perhaps to please the other) will eventually eat at them and can certainly be a sore point. I’ll definitely say though that if either or both are religious, the courthouse method is absolutely something that will carry regret and possible resentment. |

One of my best friends got married at the courthouse and they're doing fine 25 years later. Neither he or his wife was particularly religious or had a big family. They had a small reception dinner afterward, and then used the proceeds of what they would have spent on a big traditional wedding to go on a nice honeymoon in Europe. I would have probably been the best man, and I'd already been a part of enough big, overblown weddings that I was fine with one less. Cost me zero cash, time or grief. Got a nice free dinner, and that was that. Worked for me. Being a groomsman in my wedding was certainly more of a pain in the ass for him.
