I say do what's in your heart and not have a wedding for other people. Like you I was married previously, did the whole formal wedding and big reception. Didn't really enjoy it and most of it was to "impress" the family. When M and I decided to get married we wanted it to be all for us. We went to Niagara Falls and had our ceremony on the river. It was wonderful. Our parents and my hubbies siblings were there. I invited one of my closest friends, but no other family. We laughed through the whole ceremony and I loved every bit of it. Afterwards we went and had dinner above the falls. I remember every moment and it was so much more precious to me than my first wedding (looking back, I'm sure there were other reasons as well  Like I said do what the two of you want and don't think about anyone else.
