Judges chambers with two friends. Big desk, lots of books, comfy chairs, maroon carpet and two giggling grown adults waiting to wed.
Cash only, no checks, credit or debit cards. The fee was only $10 and neither one of us had any cash. They held my new bride hostage after the ceremony until I could get cash from an ATM down the street.
My grandparent's parlor. They were both gone by then, but my family still owned the old house, and it was a special place for me.
I also like Hippy got married in Judges Chambers. But he had money!!!😂
On a stone arch bridge over a small stream in the woods...... But that didn't work too well, so the second time was in a judge's chambers.
In my nightmare :p
Get it cuz I'm dreaming but the context implies that..oh nevermind
We actually had two. The one we always wanted and the one we had to have.
The first was on a cruise ship near Santorini - an island off the coast of Greece, at sunset. The Captain married us in a beautiful ceremony on the top deck, in front of 8 of our closest friends and about 400 onlooking passengers. The blue-green Aegean sea, islands all around, the warm breeze; I was in my dress uniform, she wore a fabulous white-with-gold cotton sundress and a "halo" of white and yellow flowers.... it was breathtaking. The crowd cheered when I kissed the bride.
When we returned from the Med, we had a traditional religious wedding at her (tiny) childhood Baptist church in Louisiana ---to respect the wishes of my wife's family (all 80 extended members). I am, of course, atheist; a really tough sell in the Bible Belt.
It was very traditional --- "joined in the sight of God" blah, blah, blah--- but not entirely a bore, the food at the reception was terrific Creole fare. I got to don the Dress Uni again, which was a big hit. It was also the first time my mother-in-law hugged me - the godless heathen.
In a church, propah catholic wedding.
Catholic Church---ceremony with a Mass.
I told my wife to do it however she wanted to---it was going to be her only marriage.
So far, so good.
It WAS a very nice and ornate Catholic Church, right downtown Dover New Hampshire.
They recently tore it down (shame because the architecture was fantastic) and put up low income housing apartments.
We had our wedding at home, with family and friends present. It was really neat seeing my 90-year old grandmother (white) sitting with my husband's aunt (black) after the wedding as they commiserated on their various health ailments. They laughed and cried during the ceremony - it was really touching how no one let skin color rule the day. Just two families merging together.
In my best friend's living room in front of the fireplace, with about 25 people present. Almost all immediate family and their spouses and children.
Our wedding was in a garden like outdoor setting with bunnies hopping around. Then we headed off to my dad's backyard where we had champagne and wine and karaoke!! Lol! My sister said it was the "funnest" wedding she ever been to. 😅
It was as big as the out doors.
