I (we) have no real friends to invite to wedding

DP and I are getting married. I always thought I wanted a big wedding but knowing that I have no real close friends gives me "social anxiety" and will definitely not let me enjoy the day. I'd worry all day that people would realise this. I have no one to ask to be my maid of honour and everyone would just be a "filler". My DP feels more or less the same for his side too.

We've decided to have a registry office wedding and the go to the pub for some sort of reception with our family.

I still want to look like a "proper bride". Would that be odd? Maybe it's about the right look? Sorry for the rambling. No idea if relationships is the best place for this bit considering it's about lack of friends thought it was the best place.

Yes I know what some of you mean. Seeing newlyweds randomly is a joyful occasion.

Go full throttle with your dress - it’s your moment - you want to feel glorious ..... also if you dressed down you might look less dressed up than your guests. Also don’t change in the evening - your colleagues would be gutted not to see you in your dress. Look and feel as fabulous as you want. Enjoy. Congratulations.
