    We're in the initial phase of wedding planning and...well...I hate it. (Says every guy ever, I know. Ha-Ha. Yay..sexist stereotypes!).

    I guess I'm turned off by the unreasonable expenses associate with getting married. We live pretty remotely from everyone who would actually want to attend. We know like maybe 10 people within driving distance of us that would actually want to attend. But somehow we have a guest-list of like 130 people already.

    My thought was to just do a nice, small ceremony and live stream it to people who want to come. Plus, then I can invite everyone without breaking the catering bank! (Soudermom can only make so much curried goat, people!). There are a surprising number of sites that offer this service and it's way cheaper than I thought! One even streams directly to Facebook.

    Vote* and share your thoughts.

    *You should know your vote will make no difference whatsoever

    I'd love to view a live stream of your nuptials, Brian. :D

    Since my vote doesn't matter, I'm not going to say what I think. Then you'll be consumed by curiosity and forced to ask me what I think, thereby giving my vote relevance.


    Or you won't give a crap. Either way.


    Missa ab iPhona mea est.

    I didn't know that people did this. I'm definitely intrigued by this idea!

    Do it. It's you and your future wife's wedding. The guests are secondary.

    Diggy's exactly right. This is about you and yours, nobody else - if you want to do this (and I think it's a great idea btw), go for it. All the best.

    Yes, do it Brian. My daughter did a Vegas wedding and those that couldn't come got to see it real time from the chapel. It was wonderful to see it afterward too, since I was there.

    My brother and sister-in-law did exactly what Frieda above said when they renewed their vows. Watched it on my TV with a PC hookup.

    I agree... do it.

    Random side note... knowing Chelsea, her dress is going to be amazing.

    Don't do it. Weddings are supposed to be outrageously expensive for some reason.

    You'e definitely invited, Tunes. You and Condition2SQ are two of the people I immediately thought of as people who might want to watch!


    Your opinion always matters to me, Iello.



    Alas, no. She is making her own dress, though. I did the period costuming for the proposal. Once is good. :p

    Period costuming -- lots of white and fluffy on the dress with red polka dots?

    Dude! That's genius. You guys can laugh as I keep checking my phone every 5 seconds. And then when Chels punches me in the face.

    My sister did this. I don't think a lot of people were watching though since most people who would care to do so were actually at the wedding. :p

    Ultimately it's your's and your bride's wedding, so if you want to live - stream it (and it would certainly cut down on the cost of it all), then go for it!
