Fancy weddings are fun and fabulous, but there's something so sweet about a small, simple wedding, don't you think? My friends Laura and Ben got hitched in New York's Central Park with just a few of their best friends...

Ben and Laura, who now run the amazing Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream Company, got married on a sunny June day in Central Park. They wanted to keep things small and intimate, so they invited Ben's parents and brother and a handful of their best friends. (Laura's parents live in Australia, so the couple had a second reception in their garden the following year.)

Central Park is always busy, so a group of tourists gathered to watch the couple exchange vows. "One sweet little girl came up and told me I looked like a fairy," says Laura, who wore a beautiful Stella McCartney dress and sparkly shoes.

After the ceremony, the happy couple took their friends to lunch at Jean Georges, a fabulous French restaurant. "It was so delicious!" says Laura. "The tuna sashimi ribbons were incredible." (Yum.)

How sweet is that? What do you think, my lovelies? Would you want a big or small wedding? Could you narrow down your guest list?
