The only way I won't end up getting married in Vegas will be if 1 my mom pitches an uber fit or 2 my fiance wants a wedding. But even then it'll be a small affair. I'm not too big on the whole being in the spotlight thing. I kinda like to blend into the background. Also, it would definitely NOT be in a church. I REFUSE to get married in a church.

If I ever get married I would like it to be summed up with one word: kegger.
If the guy really wanted to do something special though I wouldn't mind a sweet ring.

Only if you dress as Storm Queen Galadriel in the wedding.

Personally, even Vegas would be overblown in my book. Unless I'm marrying someone from another state, (except maybe Pennsylvania) I'm going to go for a JP ceremony. Although, if my mom (or either parent of whoever I wind up marrying) insists on a wedding, it'll be small and outdoors.

Vegas is a little overblown, but I don't want to do the courthouse, so 'll go for Vegas. It'd be the honeymoon too. That way I kill two birds with one stone.

That works ... although, I'd prefer the courthouse to a church. I probably wouldn't gamble too much on a Vegas honeymoon, though. Finding a gal worth marrying would extend my credit far enough in the Bank of Luck.

You know that the justice of the peace will go wherever you want to hold the ceremony, right? You don't have to go to them - they'll come to you. Some clergy will, also, depending on your religious beliefs.
Also, pretty much anyone can become ordained online and marry you. I'm an ordained minister of the Universal Life Church. I can register with the local county clerk or whoever and officiate over marriages. An old friend of mine did the same thing and ran a small wedding business out of her art gallery. Just get a close mutual friend to ordain themselves, register, and marry you.

My father performed my sister's wedding. Because of the way our state is, basically, if he says he's an ordained minister, then he is.

Not saying I won't spend money, I just won't spend it on all the wedding industry standard garbage.

I also don't get how a person can have 300 friends to invite to a wedding. I thought that if you're going to invite anyone, it should be close family and close friends.
My girlfriend and I figured that if we kept it strictly to close family and close friends, we'd still have about 100-150 people.
Eleventh_Guard posted:
I'd feel guilty inviting people who are barely casual acquaintances, or family members I haven't seen in fifteen years, because it would look like reaching for gifts.
Don't feel guilty. In general, if you had a big wedding, you'd probably spend more per head than you get in gifts. Also, people usually consider it a nice gesture to be invited.
Eleventh_Guard posted:
And that's part of the issue, too. Ignoring the fact that my ideal wedding would have no bride, a gift registry would be pointless. I already have basic furniture, including a queen-sized bed, and necessary appliances. I imagine that most people nowadays do too, the average age of marriage being so high.
Honeymoon registry > wedding registry.
I agree with you completely, though, wrt basic household items and wedding registries and things like that. It's one of the reasons I hate BB&B, I'm always like "You two have been living on your own for 7-8 years, and you've lived together for three of them. I know you don't need a salad bowl, because we just had dinner at your apartment last week, and you already had one."

But if I did the whole have whoever come to me thing, then I'd have to pay for a place for the wedding.

And I'm not paying for chairs. If they really want to see my wedding, they'll stand goshdarnit! Or it'll be BYOC.  Oh gosh. I sound so hick when I say that.
