Where did you get married?

We got married in my husband’s brother’s back yard. It was nice and woodsy, had room for all (50–60 guests) and best of all, it was free.

His brother and sister-in-law let us use their house and yard, and she cooked the food we bought, as their gift to us. I could not have asked for a better wedding gift – it was a load off our minds, and the price was right!

I got married at the Little Church of the West in Vegas.
We wanted to get married in Vegas, a wedding at home was too complicated…all of our family would have wanted to come, and we just couldn’t afford that, and honestly? we didn’t want to spend a ton of money on our wedding, because we wanted to save our money to buy a house some day.
We chose that chapel after I looked at a lot of pictures, and thought that one was the most interesting, and we just loved what it looks like. It wasn’t cheesy, they were super professional. We had a quick service, which is what we wanted. We had our closest family members, and had a great reception across the street at The Four Seasons.
We wouldn’t have changed a thing :)

At the Hill Physick Keith House in Society Hill in Philadelphia in the garden.

In the littlest old church. It was so amazingly beautiful inside. I filled it with flowers, candles, and a string quartet.

I always wanted to be married outside. We were married at a state wildlife park nearby, overlooking the woods and a beautiful prairie with buffalo.

Right here in this town. The church we were married in has been torn down, & that’s really sad to me. I’d gone there since I was 3 years old.

uh, at my church?

Is that a question?

We were married in the woods outside of UC Santa Cruz, in a grove a trees, with a few friends.

In Pensacola, Florida. He’s in the navy so that’s where he was stationed at the time

We had a shotgun wedding in the marriage officiant’s house. We went to the courthouse and paid $20 for our marriage certificate (in 1990), and another $20 for the officiant. She was sweet and offered to perfom the ceremony in her home, rather than at the courthouse.

Yup, a $40 wedding; my mother sewed my dress and we bought him some black pants and a sport coat. The whole honeymoon weekend probably cost less than $500.

Annapolis, Maryland; in a beautiful church; on a day that started out rainy and then turned into a beautiful April day.

We were married at his parents’ church which was decorated for Christmas. It was in Arbutus MD (5 minutes outside Baltimore). I never wanted a church wedding, but it was absolutely beautiful.

We were married here in London. We were living in Paris at the time, but getting married in France is a lengthy, complicated process. Marriage in England is much simpler, requiring only that one of the pair live for two weeks in Britain prior to the ceremony. So I got the cheapest room I could find, which was at a horribly depressing old residential hotel, and did my two weeks in sulking solitude.

The ceremony was conducted by the magistrate there at the town hall, for which we paid 20 pounds. It was attended by the obligatory 2 witnesses: my wife’s sister and her roommate, also imported from Paris for the occasion.

In an Episcopal church that we both attended.

In my room, holding a picture of Tim Curry….I gave the ceremony lol…When I’m older I want to be married in the church I attend now.

In Curtis Arboretum, just outside of Philadelphia. It has beautiful grounds, and we were hoping to have the ceremony outdoors, but the weather didn’t cooperate. Still, even though it was mostly indoors, we had a great time. It is, so far, the closest I have ever gotten to fainting. As I was walking in the side door to where we would get married, I nearly lost my balance, I was so lightheaded.

In a Catholic Church in East Harlem, Manhattan, even though neither of us lived anywhere near that parish.
But it was a mixed marriage, and the various clergy in the “tony” suburb where we lived didn’t talk to each other and the thought of an interfaith ceremony was anathema to both the Rabbi and the Priests we met.
So we were married by this rather liberal Monsignor and a female Rabbinical student in
East Harlem.

In the 117th District Court, because it was free. We put our families in the jury box so they could have a good view of the ceremony.

In a church in Iowa. Back when we got married, IL had a mandatory HIV test for people getting married, and we didn’t want to pay the $50 per person for the test. A year lafter we got married, they rescinded the law.

We knew an awesome minister who got the use of a church across the river, and it wasa small and lovely ceremony. We wanted to get married on Halloween, but it just never worked out that way.

John Hagan’s Tavern in Frederick, Maryland for my second (current) marriage. On old stone ‘public house’ built in 1785. It was a small ceremony, attended by only our closest friends and family, with our children serving as attendants. In a room painted with scenic murals, the fireplace was our ‘altar’. A lovely historic location, with waitstaff dressed in period clothing who attended to our every need. They didn’t even charge for the room, just for the food and drinks for the reception..

My wife was a priest’s daughter, so it wasn’t really an issue. In his church obviously, and the bastard even made us pay!

We got married at my parent’s house (the house I grew up in)in Olympia. It is right on the water. I had always wanted to get married there and it was perfect. I think weddings at people’s homes is the best.

Vegas at the Courthouse

City Hall, Reno Mevada. It was Friday and he was shipping out on Monday.

Short honeymoon, that. :(

There are only 2 memories that I have of the event (the wedding not the honeymoon) 1. The judge only had one arm (all I could think of was a slot machine) 2. I had great clam chowder for lunch.

@galileogirl – Our judge had two arms, but I never got lunch. You were lucky.

We got married on a beach in Hawaii. It was one on the Kaneohe Bay Marine Corp base.
