You've got to remember a wedding is simply a public display of what the guests, and God or whoever, already know. Those that matter know the bride and groom love each other and want to spend their lives together.
No need for a big deal, just the bride and groom, however many witnesses are needed and a celebrant.
Get someone to video it and send copies of the video to all the people you would have had on the guest list.
I've seen people spend the same or more on their wedding as they would on a house deposit. Seems pretty pointless to me, especially so when you consider a lot of the guests are only there for the free meal and party after.
Sorry if I sound jaded about weddings but that's how it all seems to me these days.
