Getting married at the court house?

Question

I wonder how people feel about people getting married at the court house. It was never my ideal place to get married, but right now, for me the best place to get married. 

My fiancee and I have limited funds and we live in FL. Most of our immediate family/friends live up in CT/MA. Since our funds are limited, (We had job loss and family heath issues come up in which we helped out) we haven't gone up north to see our family/friends as much as we hoped. We have lived here for nearly 5 years and have gone up 3 times.

What we are thinking is to get married at the courthouse and then have a celebration of our love w/ our families and friends in a year or two when we hopefully have moved back up there and have more money. We are the ones who have to pay for our wedding. 

We have been together for 11 years now. (in our early 30's) The reason why we aren't married is the cost of an actual wedding and me! (The court house doesn't seem "romantic") 

However, now I'm at a point where I just want to make it official! If we waited until we moved back up there it might be another year or two or three. Who knows!! My fiancee has better heath insurance than my company provides and would love to put me on his. 

So, basically I'm looking for opinions of what people would do. People who have been in similar situations as me. If anyone has got married at the courthouse - what was the experience like? Do you still say vows? 

Thank you in advance! :)

some friends of mine got married in the court house.  They talked to the JP the day before and went over what he would say and the things that the couple would say.  My first husband and I were the witnesses and a friend was there to take photos.  We all went to dinner, small group that evening and it was a really nice experience.  i think that what you are planning is great!

FOR A commence, i'm a Filipino born citizen and that i detect your thinking an insult to my very own united states of america and its human beings. yet on the grounds that all of us would desire to behave like civilized person then why no longer i visit objective to respond to your questionnaire. YOUR FILIPINA spouse got here to the place the U. S. in a criminal way and how come her stay has substitute into unwelcome as time is going on? on the grounds that she is asserted to be criminal while she got here there how come she has to get legally as time is going on? Your questionnaire has plenty to describe. i think of the project isn't the Filipina yet you. you have a revenge in comparison Filipina guy or woman you have and you choose her out or there are different reason beside this which you never reported right here. REVENGE IS a very risky project in case you question me. which you never did and that i in my opinion do no longer choose to open. how are you able to get her deported? you in common terms can't on the grounds that she remains criminal interior the genuine experience of the notice. i think of the taking of the baby is the only element you choose her out isn't it? i'm interpreting between the strains. I easily have seen lots of those circumstances the two on action pictures or interior the information. The on the spot kin of the female is desperately searching for the female or maybe asked his ex-husband of her whereabouts yet failed and that they provide the impression of being for tips from the rustic sheriff and the FBI approximately this. As years is going via they did no longer detect the female till one detect the female's physique interior the backyard one morning via the hot occupant of their former abode. It replaced into buried deeply needless to say to cover it. by using DNA forensic they have customary the identity of the female that's lacking for the previous 7 yrs. The police arrested the former husband and link him to the crime. you're thinking what i'm thinking? do no longer.
