Tell me about what your wedding was like

I want for Ben and I to get married. I mean I see it happening in years to come, the whole beautiful day. Tell me what was your beautiful day like, etc?

 

Like being sucked into a huge black hole of doom and dispair.

 

I am sorry.

 

it was in antigua... we got up in the morning... spent the day on the beach, in the ocean and in the pools and hot tubs... ate lunch...

then i went to the spa, got my hair and make up done, got in my dress...

then we had the wedding in a gazebo by the ocean... danced to bob marley's "is this love"...

went back to our room which was a two min. walk, it was decorated in rose petals....tshirts, champagne, etc... we hung out there for a while..

then went to our own private dinner on a balcony overlooking the ocean.... and then spent the rest of the night together.

it was great.

 

Don't be. I've been free of the Devil's concubine for 9 years now.

 

Trish those wedding pictures were beautiful. I know for sure I want an outdoor wedding And Marc I am glad you are free of the devil.

 

oh yeah. you did see my wedding pictures, didnt you?

anyways, i would higly recommend to anyone to do what dan and i did. it was WELL WORTH it and not expensive.

 

Thanks, Blackie, you're humble and loveable.

 

I was engaged off and on for 2 years and never took the plunge I gave my ring back for good about a year ago. Trish your wedding sounds perfect did you have family out or do it alone. if I ever get married i def want it to be just the other person and me.

 

just me and dan! thank god....

but to humor our parents, we had a reception when we came home.

 

perfect that's exactly how I want to do it if it ever happens for me.

 

My bride (now ex) and I had a conception after the wedding.

 

i could never guess why they called it off.

 

how long were you in the coma for?

 

I can show you the plans, but I cannot tell you what it was like since it was cancelled three months before it would have taken place.

 

I was married on September 7th, 1996. It was a perfect, beautiful, day and we were married outdoors at a close family friend's home. We were poor, so lots of people pitched in to help us have a nice wedding. Someone bought our cake, and my friend and I made my dress (man, I should post pics). My husband (now ex) and I spent the night before with friends so that we wouldn't see each other until the next day when I "walked down the aisle". The song that played when I walked down the aisle was my favorite love duet (O, Soave fanciulla) from Puccini's La Boheme. It was perfect. And then after we were married, we had "our song" playing (it is a song by a local band here, actually)...then after that we played Danzing (ha ha...I was in charge of the music selections) and some other heavy stuff, which is funny because of all the different types of people that were there (they were probably thinking wtf?!). My dad and my brother came all the way from Minnesota to see me get married, but my mom and step-dad did not come (and we were engaged for a year, so it isn't like they couldn't have made plans). My parents were not thrilled with my choice of husband (and still aren't...lol), so they decided they would rather go on some damn vacation with their friends instead of go to their daughter's wedding. And yes, my mom and step-dad live in the same city as me. Hmmmm....well anyway they are happy I am not with him now (he is a nice guy...just really irresponsible). After we mingled a bit, we had cake and some food and did some stupid wedding games (it was lame because it just wasn't "that" kind of wedding...lol). Then mostly everyone left and all the close relatives took us out to dinner. After dinner, we spent the night in the nicest hotel in town (a gift from a nice relative)...and the rest is history. We were married for like 6 years (seperated at the end for one year), and we knew each other one year before marriage. He asked me to marry him 4 months after we met. We still get along pretty good (most of the time)...I can still call on him if I ever need anything. But I am glad we are divorced now because we just weren't heading down the same path in life, and there was just no fixing it.

 

haha, olhip. what a description.

i was 18, he was 19. his mother had just been given a very short time to live. she was dying of congestive heart failure.we planned the wedding in 13 days, so she could be there, and got married in his mother's backyard. it was all sort of thrown together, but i couldn't have planned it better, even if i had had lots of time. everything was fairly simple, which is as i would have had it anyway. it rained right after the ceremony, whish is supposed to be good luck, we were told. we spent the night at a fancy hotel, which was a gift from mom and my stepdad. we got up and went to the waffle house for breakfast the next morning. (classy, huh?) his mother passed away about 2 weeks later.

 

Well, since my wife and I have been married before (not with eachother) and we both did not want to make a big deal about it so we went to the "justice of the peace" here. It was just the two of us. The next week, our family have a very small celebration for the both of us. After you have been through the "head ache" of planning out a big and beautiful wedding, you defiently want nothing to do with something like that again.

Hiro, you should look into something small as well. The both of you will be a lot happier. Trust me...............

Your stories are so sad .

I do want something small. And because of my estranged father I will have my step dad walk me down. Ben and I want no one but immediate family. Only one brides maid because I have no friends except Catherine. I am thinking only twenty people tops..... no wait lets see. Jon, Heather, Paul, Nancy. Mom, Joe, Patrick... Dad won't come.... shouldn't invite the wierd family members and I know Nancy (Ben's mom) will be pissed no more but their immediate family can come so thats seven
