Do you regret having a wedding?

Hello! I (26F) and my FIANCÉE (28M) just got engaged on Saturday!!!! We have talked about the loose idea of having a wedding and what that would look like. I’ve been researching prices to put together a budget, and to be honest, I’m quite overwhelmed. It seems like a lot of money for one day. Venues, catering, decor, DJ, dresses, photography, etc. My best friend got married last year and her dad helped with a lot of the expenses but she still had to open a credit card and is now paying off $10,000 that her and her husband paid towards the wedding. I really would like to have a wedding but the money aspect seems ridiculous. We have pretty good jobs and our families would help us out but I just don’t know if that’s something I’d want. The only thing that matters is that I get to marry him. Do you regret having a wedding? Do you wish you just got eloped? I was at a bar last night talking with my friend’s dad and he was telling me that he wishes they never had a wedding. He wished they took the money they spent and traveled instead. I want to throw the idea of getting eloped and traveling and having a reception when we get back but I know my fiancee really wants a wedding. I’m just torn.
