Vegas baby!

neither one of us wanted a wedding, but i'm the only girl and my dad wanted to walk me down the aisle and my parents didn't have a wedding so i had to do it. what a waste of time and money that was. we had 100 rsvp that they were coming but only 60 showed up, we still had to pay for the missing 40. almost everything that could go wrong did.

i'll never do it again

I had a Beach wedding

Country manor house, no church as neither of us believe in that stuff. Great day close friends and family during the day, biggest extravagance was hiring an artistic photographer to produce the photos and album £5000 well spent IMO! Night time was held in the main hall of the house with about 150 people. We still recieve compliments today that it was the best wedding people have ever Been to. Which is nice!

Two weddings too many! Both of them rather big lavish church and social affairs with all of the trimmings; even the 2nd(current)one! Both with out-of-the USA honeymoons, too!

If/when it were to ever occur again, I would basically want it done on some tropical beach with only God, a minister, and a pair of witnesses present. Wait ~ it might actually be proper and fitting to include a bride as well!

But then again, only time will tell!

eloped!

It was about as small as you can get. We didn't invite a single soul to our wedding. We married in a castle in Mercatale, a very small town in Tuscany.

The ceremony took place in an intimate, five hundred year old chapel in the courtyard. Our only "guests" were the minster, violin player, photographer, and wedding planner. We had a five course meal alone in the castle courtyard, complete with a wine tasting, and private service. We spent the rest of our wedding day in our clothes, driving around Tuscany, enjoying one another and basking in joy.

It was the perfect day. And extremely practical. By eliminating all guests, we were able to do a dream wedding in a castle in Italy (with wedding planner, music, photographer, reception, and flowers), complete with two weeks honeymoon in a private cottage in the hills, car rental, spending money, and airfare, all for less than half the cost of what a single day in the states would have been for us to have the kind of wedding we wanted.

Large, traditional Catholic wedding with all the trimmings.

Courthouse in downtown Vegas..just us - Then hired a car to drive through death valley, Yosemite, San Francisco, Santa Barbera, Carmel and LA..It took three weeks and we came back to the UK to a big reception with all our loved ones. It was fantastic and we would both laugh in the face of a big white wedding given the choice again!

my DH secretly eloped, just the 2 of us, and it was perfect.

then we had a ceremony and reception so our families could be involved, we didn't want any hurt feelings about missing the wedding. it was small but still costly and stressful.

eloping was SO much better.
