The following has been edited for length and clarity.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>My partner and I were together for 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>We met in college, and our families were very involved with one another. We shared a group of friends and worked at the same place.<\/p>\n<p>So when we got engaged, it was important to us to honor the community we built by having a large wedding. It just made sense for our relationship. The idea of having our wedding exactly the way we wanted with all our friends and family was exciting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Of course, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/personal-finance\/how-much-does-a-wedding-cost\" data-analytics-product-module=\"body_link\" rel=\"noopener\" data-vars-hyper-link=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/personal-finance\/how-much-does-a-wedding-cost\" data-vars-link-domain=\"AMP\" data-vars-link-type=\"Inbound Click\" target=\"_blank\">with a big wedding comes a lot of expenses<\/a>. I&#8217;d worked in the wedding industry as a day-of event coordinator and as a professional officiant \u2014 so I knew how to budget and make my dollars stretch. Still, all told, my partner and I planned to spend a hefty amount on the big day.<\/p>\n<p>Our plan was for the wedding to consist of three events. We wanted to have an intimate ceremony followed by dinner at a nice restaurant for our loved ones. The next night, we would rent an Airbnb and host welcome drinks at a local art gallery. Then we&#8217;d have a reception at a science museum the following night.<\/p>\n<p>I had purchased four dresses to wear across the wedding events \u2014 a ceremony dress, a reception dress, a dress for dancing, and a spare my mother picked out for me to wear at the reception. I&#8217;m privileged that my father planned to pay for most of it, with my fianc\u00e9&#8217;s parents, my mom, my stepdad, and I covering the rest. My fianc\u00e9&#8217;s parents were going to pay for all the beverages and alcohol.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, we never could have anticipated that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insider.com\/bride-asked-couples-married-during-pandemic-to-join-first-dance-2023-6\" data-analytics-product-module=\"body_link\" rel=\"noopener\" data-vars-hyper-link=\"https:\/\/www.insider.com\/bride-asked-couples-married-during-pandemic-to-join-first-dance-2023-6\" data-vars-link-domain=\"AMP\" data-vars-link-type=\"Inbound Click\" target=\"_blank\">a pandemic would ruin our plans<\/a>. Our wedding date was scheduled for May 16, 2020, and in March 2020, we decided to cancel it. While it was upsetting, it was important to us that our guests felt safe and comfortable at our celebration. We planned to reschedule the wedding when the pandemic died down, but we instead parted ways in June 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Because we canceled over the pandemic, we were able to get a refund on some of our deposits. I couldn&#8217;t get the money back from the photography deposit, so the photographer scheduled a lifestyle shoot with me after the breakup.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/espacestudio.ca\/en\/im-having-a-micro-wedding-i-canceled-my-first-which-cost-thousands\/#An_encounter_with_a_Scottish_stranger_led_to_a_new_romance\" >An encounter with a Scottish stranger led to a new romance<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/espacestudio.ca\/en\/im-having-a-micro-wedding-i-canceled-my-first-which-cost-thousands\/#Keeping_our_wedding_small_was_right_for_us\" >Keeping our wedding small was right for us<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/espacestudio.ca\/en\/im-having-a-micro-wedding-i-canceled-my-first-which-cost-thousands\/#NOW_WATCH_Popular_Videos_from_Insider_Inc\" >NOW WATCH: Popular Videos from Insider Inc.<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"An_encounter_with_a_Scottish_stranger_led_to_a_new_romance\"><\/span><strong>An encounter with a Scottish stranger led to a new romance<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After my ex and I broke up, I reconnected online with Thomas, whom I&#8217;d met at a museum in Scotland \u2014 where he worked \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insider.com\/love-wanderlust-couple-shares-holiday-romance-turned-into-lasting-marriage-2023-5\" data-analytics-product-module=\"body_link\" rel=\"noopener\" data-vars-hyper-link=\"https:\/\/www.insider.com\/love-wanderlust-couple-shares-holiday-romance-turned-into-lasting-marriage-2023-5\" data-vars-link-domain=\"AMP\" data-vars-link-type=\"Inbound Click\" target=\"_blank\">while I was vacationing with my mom<\/a>. We began chatting, and Thomas and I exchanged information to become Facebook friends. We&#8217;d stayed in contact on Facebook over the years, and I developed a crush on him, so I reached out when I was single. I never thought it would turn into anything romantic. I was wrong. After we connected, the relationship moved quickly. The only problem was that he lived in Scotland and I lived in the US.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In October 2021, I went to visit Thomas, and we knew we had to figure out how to be together. I visited a few times for long periods, but eventually, we decided the <a href=\"https:\/\/us.iasservices.org.uk\/visas\/spouse-visas\/fiancee-visas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-analytics-product-module=\"body_link\" data-vars-hyper-link=\"https:\/\/us.iasservices.org.uk\/visas\/spouse-visas\/fiancee-visas\/\" data-vars-link-domain=\"AMP\" data-vars-link-type=\"Outbound Click\">fianc\u00e9 visa<\/a> was the best way to navigate our relationship, which meant I would move to Scotland. Within six months, we would need to be married. He proposed to me in December, and we started planning our wedding shortly thereafter.<\/p>\n<p>When we decided to get married, I told Thomas I didn&#8217;t want a big wedding. Despite working in events and weddings most of my adult life, I never really enjoyed wedding planning. Plus, the expense was a gut punch: I&#8217;d spent money living on my own post-breakup and racked up bills flying back and forth between New York and Scotland. On top of that, the idea of trying to coordinate a wedding with international guests felt exhausting. With Thomas, I wanted to focus on him for our wedding day.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keeping_our_wedding_small_was_right_for_us\"><\/span><strong>Keeping our wedding small was right for us<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We decided to schedule a micro wedding for September 8 in Scotland.

Once it&#8217;s official, I&#8217;ll have to apply for a spousal visa, which can take a long time to get approved. In the meantime, we&#8217;ll rent a place together in our married name and start our life together.<\/p>\n<p>When we met, Thomas and I bonded over poetry. We&#8217;re both romantics, so when I think about it, an intimate wedding just makes sense.
