4 weddings vent

[lime]

It rained for two hours straight at our outdoor wedding. I guess that's a bad omen from a sky god or something?



On the plus side, I look like a sea nymph in our photos. 

I honestly can't imagine having a courthouse wedding. Not judging, just not my thing.

H's friend picked a church and a reception venue 45 minutes apart, but neither the bride nor the groom go to that church. It was just a pretty location to have their wedding. To me, that seems a lot more like playacting than having a beautiful ceremony at your reception venue, because church and religion hold no value to you.

[underwaterrhymes]

LOL.

I guess we should have stuffed 200 people into a courthouse to make our wedding more "sacred" instead of celebrating our love for each other in the non-church venue we chose instead.

We got married in a civic center that had two separate rooms for the ceremony and the reception. It was July. In Texas. Fuck outdoor weddings

I myself have never been to a play in the middle of a ballroom. Usually those happen in, you know, a theater.

Have you ever actually been to a play?

What makes an outdoor ceremony "sacred?" We had someone read that "love is patient" crap. DOES IT COUNT? I NEED TO KNOW1!!!

If two sacred white doves alight as your vows finish and yea verily crappeth upon thine head, then you shall know that it was sacred enough. Amen.

Well, fuck.

Lighting sucks in churches. You should know this, stellas.

I'm also a little  ^o) that you think people don't get married in churches because churches are expensive. Um, what? Have you ever priced checked anything ever? 

[underwaterrhymes]

I think we did quite well with our non-sacred all-in-one wedding venue. (No quoting please! I didn't get releases from all of the actors and actresses.)

[sparkythelawyer]

Most court houses are pretty damn ugly had have substantial rules about how many people you can bring it, etc. They're a courthouse, not a catering hall.

Also, it will cost me like $700 to have my church wedding

underwaterrhymes - pretty! I love the archway.

[sparkythelawyer]

Stella's, just admit you are actually judging any wedding not in a church and be done with it ;D

There was nothing sacred about my wedding. By design. Does that make it ok that we served mai tais on the beach during the ceremony?

Thank you!

We debated getting married on the beach, but couldn't find one that had a good rain plan for our large number of guests. When we walked into this place we knew immediately it was where we were getting married.

Nope! Not sacred enough, I award you zero Stella's, and may god have mercy on your soul;D

[speckledfrog]

This reminds me of an argument on TN where some whackadoodle was insisting that unless you got married by a priest/rabbi/pastor/etc you were not actually married. You had a civil union but you were not married. My response was that I may not be married but at least I was civilized.

I didn't want to get married in a church but I did. For my parents. If I had it to do over I wouldn't do it in a church. I felt like a big hypocrite because I am not a practicing catholic and don't believe in many of their teachings. We did not have a full mass. That is torture.

Phew. Good thing I believe in neither god nor soul.

I had a penguin in my outdoor wedding. It was a sacred penguin though, so it was totally legit.

Or I guess in a courthouse where the case before yours was about a guy jizzing on a woman on the bus. MAGICAL.

Lol! Oh my god, I'm dying laughing.

We got married in a Japanese garden. Guess it didn't count! Oh well!

i bet it counts in Japan?

It just seems like a play instead of a life event when you do in a ball room with a view of the skyline.

Well shit, none of my "life events" took place in a church. Does this mean I'm technically dead?

I got married in a courthouse by a baptist minister. I am LEGIT! Woo!

Only if the location was cursed.



I must watch too much Parks & Rec because I'm thinking of Ken Hotate threatening a curse during the Harvest Festival

That depends. Were you actually inside the courthouse? Could you see a skyline?

[vicky]

In the courthouse, chose the beauty of Staten Island's courthouse (by beauty I mean no lines because no one likes Staten Island) over the scenic manhattan city hall - no skyline!




Although down the hill from the courthouse the manhattan skyline was visible. But not from the courthouse itself.

TOOT!
