Random - if I were to get married again ...

[starburst604]

I loved my wedding but wouldn't want to plan a big one ever again. I would attend MP's wedding though!

[gault]

I want to be at your wedding, lady. You woukd make it something special, big or small!

[udscoobychick]

I will take any excuse to travel, so I will be at any SO'ers wedding who invites me. That's a promise!

First wedding (which never happened) had like 250+ people on the guest list. One of the first things FI and I did was cap the guest list at 75 for this one. And he insisted that we hire a wedding planner after watching one episode of Bridezillas--he didn't want me stressing out over the planning! First wedding was what my parents wanted; this one will be what FI and I want.

I would come to your wedding! I love Cali.

I've never had a wedding but I know that I want a SUPER small wedding. Possibly an elopement. My family is far too large and I don't want many people there.

It would be an excuse for us east coasters to come to the west coast.

Yes. I've never been that far west, it'd be the best motivation for me to go.

I don't know, the word "coast" has now lost all meaning to me.

How close are you to the border and which part?!

[Deleted]

I only have man-made lakes. 

We did win the fight with TX over the Red River.  So, I have that going for me.

I'd come to your wedding mp !!!

[starryfish]

I have thought about this too! I am SOO torn on this....a traditional wedding...a destination wedding or eloping.

All my family except my sister live out of state. Most traveled for my first wedding, and I have a hard time imaging they would all travel for my second.

I would REALLY love to have a non-traditional party type wedding that wouldnt cost a fortune or eloping/destination wedding with a party for friends/family when we get back.

Because I am a type A planner and bored right now....who has fun ideas on how to have 75-100 people on the cheap but still fun?

[spindle92]

I am screwed if I ever get married again. My first wedding was perfect - a destinantion wedding with my closest family and friends. I do not think I can do the same thing again.

[Wanderista]

I'm one of the people who have never been married, not sure when/if I will. If so though, I'll definitely consult the prospective groom. I have friends and family scattered all over the place. A really big event just wouldn't make sense for me. I'll worry about the specifics whenever the time comes. I would be game for a destination wedding and then just maybe having small parties for very different groups of people in places convenient for them. I think I would just want something intimate and romantic, then I'd be all about the honeymoon.

I want to save money for a kickass honeymoon. Small ceremony and reception if at all possible, although my extended family is enormous and we have a shitton of family friends, who are also integrated into my own personal friends.

This is where having Chipotle and a margarita machine reception would be awesome.  Or, I'd enjoy it at least.

First wedding was a huge, pretty princess day and while I loved it, I don't want that again. If I get married again, I would like to get married in the mountains of Arkansas bc they're beautiful, close-ish and cheap. Only close family and very loved friends. And a kick ass mermaid style dress with lace.

A friend of mine in college, along with his housemates, figured out the exact ratio of booze to mixer in order to have a garbage can margarita party. Leave it to the engineers.

[bowies]

My second wedding was smallish - we had 50, mostly his family. I thought I'd feel like like a weirdo for having such a small contingent there, but it was fine. Don't sweat it. Or, just do a destination wedding on the East Coast.
