You're a romantic at heart and the idea of an intimate gathering in your living room, backyard or a park enchants you.
You feel that your vows of love and commitment are a deeply personal matter and you don't want to share your sweetie with others on such a special day. You'd rather have it be just the two of you; maybe with a party later.
