It wouldn't be eloping if you take all your friends and family with you, now, would it? It would just be an alternate location. -- Which wouldn't be a bad idea either, if they all could attend.

Not at all. This thread was for each person to express their own way they'd do things, not for everyone to fit in one mold. You are just as much entitled to your opinion as anyone else. Ya know, I say tomato, you say tomotto, kinda thing.

Yeah, so. Ya wanna know how pragmatic I am? When people talk about getting married on the beach or in some other scenic spot, all I can think about are the logistics of getting all the wedding....stuff...to the spot and then somebody having to haul it away. I think about sand in people's shoes and the ocean breeze ruining all the pretty hairdos. I am seriously just very weird.

OH! I was invited to an outdoor wedding once. It was to be held in a beautiful square with a lovely gazebo in Atlanta. We got there and it started to rain. The couple ended up exchanging vows in a bar across the street.

Okay, that is the sum total of what I have to say about weddings.


That's the reason I want ta beach wedding. I don't like the idea of having hair and make up all done up and wearing $$$ of wedding dress that I would wear for a few hours. I like the idea of wearing a sarong skirt, with hair flying all over, and having flowers on my hair like Hawaiians do. Then we'd take off our skirts and go surfing afterwards before going to a luau! Can't imagine anything better.

Huh? Wow! What was that like???

I mean, when my brother passed away, we rented a funeral home that's like a country club. It would be a good place to have a wedding if you didn't know it's a funeral home. I mean, even the area where the bodies are buried, is so beautiful...like a park. It's got lakes and benches.

well...like CoeurdeLeon said...it was pragmatic. my husband-to-be had just had his 4th back surgery (unexpectedly...we'd been rear-ended fairly gently, but it still dislodged the cage they'd put around his spine about a year earlier)...and our marriage license was going to expire the next day. so when he got released from the hospital...we were instructed to stop for prescriptions...then go straight home! but......we called around, and the only jp (justice of the peace...it was in GA...a southern-thing to this IL girl) was on duty at the funeral home less than a mile from our house. there were no services that afternoon...so we hobbled in, had a quick little ceremony in our shorts and t-shirts (well...i dressed up...i had on a polo)...signed the paper...and had him in bed in less than 30 minutes! he was on bed-rest for the next 2 weeks...so guess what our "honeymoon" was like! giggle

Today, (meaning it could change at any moment)
I think it would be fun to get married on Disney's Big Red Boat and have as many members of the family(friends too) there as can come. After the cruise the kids can head to Disney World with designated family members and he and I would head to one of the islands (to be decided later) nearby to finish out the honeymoon.

I had a very small wedding the first time and, should I ever get remarried, I would probably have an even smaller one. Me, him, minister, kids, couple of witnesses and brunch for we few after. Yeah, that sounds about right.

When I think about outdoor weddings, all I can think about is what could go wrong too. Mine was outside on a beautiful sunny day. The sun was in my eyes and I had to squint through the entire ceremony I also ended up with sunburn on one half of my face. My pastor is very long winded.LOL

I still occasionally think a reception in a tent at sunset would be nice though.

OK, now you guys just gave me a mental picture of a wedding dress where the train has a model train track glued on it, and on the track is a model train going round and round all through the ceremony.

Actually, eloping is taking on somewhat of a different meaning "in today's world" . . . one of my clients of the past 6 years is a wedding planner; and within her business, "eloping" is defined by time frame and number of guests (for instance, anything within the next couple of months with less than 20 guests is an elopement). Apparently other (but probably not all) wedding planners define it in similar terms.

Go figure.

I once saw a wedding between games of a semi-pro tournament. The judge that married the couple wore an umpires uniform. The teams playing the next game were drafted to hold their bats in the air making an arch for the couple to work thru. The bride and her attendants wore baseball hats. Teh groom and his attendants wore tux coats and Bermuda shorts. They had a BBQ and party late into the night, but they were at the 8 am game the next morning.
