Do you plan on having (did you have) a traditional religious ceremony or something different? What religion or tradition? Or how was it different?

hmm, i admit i basically want the traditional wedding. don't know about being married in a church though since im not religious. at one point i wanted to do what a member from the band korn did and get married in a medieval castle with my groom in knights armor and me in a medieval wedding dress. that's kind of gotten old to me though and how the hell would people afford to get to the castle anyways.

Civil service, minimal audience, no tux, no dress, no fancy location or pre-party.

All the money that would have gone towards a 20-minute ceremony will be redirected to financing the party.

...Either that, or I'll have one of my friends with a ministry license perform the ceremony.

traditional souther baptist wedding... NO singing!!

it was small and nice.

If you invite me to yours I would like to know if I could have a dance. Just one mind you.

Good luck Zach! What happens if she is oppposed to it?


I got married in Crescent City, California at Grace Lutheran Church on Cooper Avenue. Given the choice I would have eloped and done Vegas! My job was to just show up. It was a hard job.

I'd go for absolutely anywhere

Just being with the woman of my dreams is all I ask.

nothing religious, but i do want pretty dresses. and flowers. maybe something outdoors...i dunno. i have awhile to figure this out still...can't even legally get married yet :|

Religion will be left out of our wedding. I know it will upset our parents and granparents.

I don't want a humongous wedding. I would rather go to the Justice of the Peace and sign the marriage papers. Then I would put together a small wedding of just close family and friends.

I think that people that have large, gigantic weddings are separating themselves from reality. When they get home from the honeymoon and the excitement is all over, they will realize what they've actually done. They will realize that they are going to be with that person for the rest of their lives. So in the end, they panic and get divorced.

We're planning on having a handfasting ceremony, not a traditional 'christian' type wedding. It's a lot different, but subtle enough that it won't freak out the family. We're also getting married in a hundred year old ballroom instead of a church. The reception will be in the same place as well. My aunt is a court reporter, so a judge that is a family friend will be doing the ceremony.

Shotgun wedding for me!

I support the uncontrolled use of firearms at wedding ceremonies. What better way to celebrate holy matrimony than the firing of guns into the air?

If my sons or daughter marry I will bring cannons.

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord. :)

If your daughter marries, jojo, you'll probably have the cannons aimed at the groom, though.

do you plan on being handfasted for just a year or a couple years or forever? a lady i used to babysit for was pegan and i went to her handfasting. it was really really cool. so glad i got to experience that.

I want a very traditional wedding, in a huge church. The bigger the church the better.

Forever :)

we eloped in Lake Tahoe.....well it was in the JP's building...but it overlooked Lake Tahoe.....I'd definitly elope again.....I'm not big on tradition...

My first wedding was very traditional.

My second was in a courthouse.

My wife and I plane to have a church wedding... and it will be exactly one week from today!:)

i'll be whipped (and not in a good way)

my theory on marraig is agreeing with the significant other with everything for the wedding ceremony

godammit, it's more important to me for the woman to be happy with something small and isnginificant than to jeopardise the relationship about somthing unimportant

if the girl wants to get married, then as long as i love her and i want to spend the rest of my life with her, i'll agree

if she doesn't and just want to "live in sin" than i'm also happy there

as long as co habiting with each other is in he rplans i'd be happy

of course i also need a girlfriend for all this to happen anbd i dson't see that happenbing anytime soon

The more I think of it, the more I'd like to keep my immediate family out of it...

I haven't really thought about what I want. There's a good chance I won't marry an Indian, so in that case she'd want some of her tradition included, but I think I would like some ofmine, not from a religious standpoint but from a cultural one.

The indian wedding ceremony is very beatiful as well, lots of talk about comitment, team work, and the joining of souls...
