For those of you who aren't married, yet, where would you like to get married (show pictures of the setting. Your choice)

Asked by Jude (32204points) August 10th, 2011

A good friend from high school got married here in British Columbia. The photographer did a lovely job and the setting, gorgeous.

Realistically, where would you want your wedding to take place.

I am not sure of mine, yet.

For non-traditional: link
“link”: (more on San Geronimo): link

Beach: link

For something grander (The setting of “Downton Abbey”): link

Organic and grand but in a more intimate venue:link

And for the diehard Harry Potter fan, the church featured in the films, set in the village where many scenes were shot: link

If you plan it and try to make it perfect there are things bound to happen and ruin at least a part of it. better be spontaneous and you’ll get a lot of satisfaction afterwards. Be sure to invite a few close friends and the family or else they will mind later that you didn’t invite.

I wanted to married in California’s Disneyland, the one of my childhood. I envisioned a group of my friends and a few family gathered around Snow White’s Wishing Well, just aside of the moat that runs around Sleeping Beauty’s Castle. We would have Cinderella’s Crystal Carriage bring us to the spot, preceded by some brass horns & trumpets. Afterwards, all would have a marvelous sit down banquet (Disneyland has umpteen wedding venues & packages) and use of the park up until midnight.

My fiancee and future MIL totally snarked this though.

@Neizvestnaya….....Oh…:( That was too bad. That might have been a really fun and sweet wedding…especially if it meant that much to you.

Not that I’m ever getting married, but those buildings and settings are perfection.

@DarlingRhadamanthus: It ok. We’re having a garden party that might end up more of a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party and I’ll enjoy that for sure!

@Hibernate…I know…I agree. The right wedding venue is a good start. However, in the end…the right bride or groom is the most important thing! lol If not, even getting married at Glamis Castle link (which was the home of the late Queen Mother) is not going to matter one jot.

@Neizvestnaya… That sounds great!
@BlueRoses…Stunning venues!

@Jude…..Thanks for posting this question….the Jellies will now have a great choice of wedding venues…when they marry their Jelly crushes…..:) In a fictional deep-blue sea, of course. (Great question, truly.)

Eh, marriage isn’t for me. But a romantic day out, or an anniversary celebration held here would be pretty nice.

I absolutely love Yosemite so maybe the Yosemite Valley Chapel

But I’m also an architecture buff so maybe the Wayfarer’s Chapel in Palos Verdes that is made almost entirely out of glass and sits on a cliff over looking the ocean. It was designed by Lloyd Wright (Frank Lloyd Wright’s son).

But in reality, I would really prefer to get married outside by a lake and then have a big picnic style luncheon rather than some fancy schmancy type of formal sit down thing. It’s all about family and friends for me, and nature.

One more….Chapel of the Holy Cross…designed by a student of Frank Lloyd Wright’s and built into the Red Rocks of Sedona, Arizona.

@DarlingRhadamanthus My g/f loves F. Lloyd Wright. I’m going to send her this.

@Jude…..Big apologies to you. Apparently, you cannot marry at the Chapel :( I love Frank Lloyd Wright, too..so…guess what? There are a lot of other FLW venues…around the country…....

Here is one in Phoenix at the Biltmore (designed by FLW): link

The Rookery (Chicago): link

And this FLW lovely house that was disassembled and reassembled on the grounds of an arboretum in Oregon: http://www.thegordonhouse.org/

Wayfarer’s Chapel (mentioned above in another posting) was designed by FLW’s son:

(Sedona, however, has other beautiful places to marry and you could still visit the Chapel…Sedona is really romantic link)

I don’t know where…but I always loved the idea of getting married in a forest. That might not be so accessible to everyone though…still, no matter. Wherever I get married, it has to happen on Halloween night.
