How long have you been planning it? Don't let it stress you out too much.

IdioticIcarus

Not long. We just sorta picked a date and are winging it.

You'll find a way bea.

entropyecho

Thanks. I did find a dress (shock!) so that made me feel a bit better for a day. Then it's back to panic mode.

How's the writing?

Oh so it matters in other areas? Shallow woman you are.Fightingfan

Shallow and happy. :D Everyone's shallow in their own way.

I see. Well that does suck. Have you tried any small chapels?

soulless4now

We didn't want to have to go that formal, with the planning and cost of renting a chapel. There is one nearby that I'd be okay with but 1. it's booked apparently (no surprise, people plan this stuff way in advance) and 2. it's $500+ to rent it. And it's a LITTLE chapel.

[QUOTE="binpink"]the smaller the better.Fightingfan

In terms of the ceremony ONLY. Sicko.

I'm not sure what I would like to have if I ever got married. Would be up to the wife. >.> Prob a medium sized wedding so more gifts for us. :P Do you guys have a date set yet or any idea when you are going to have it?ExoticAnimal

That seems to be the way, the guys go along with whatever the women want. :P And that's fine if you truly don't know what you'd like.
I think registries are tacky, but no offense! It's not like newlyweds couldn't use the help furnishing their home (usually), I just hate the idea.
We're tying teh knot on Sept. 1st.Dun dun DUN.

Have you thought about maybe getting hitched in some other part of the state ?

soulless4now

It's hard because we live 3 hours away from my family. His whole family lives in another state. We're trying not to inconvenience anyone more than necessary.

Oh I see. Good luck with that then. Only 12 people? :o Don't want a big wedding?ExoticAnimal

No, the smaller the better. I hate everything about planning a wedding.

I'm boring. If I got married I'd save my own and finance a house with the weird chick that wants to marry me >.>Fightingfan

Nothing wrong with boring, you've got the right idea. We aren't in any position to purchase a house nor will we be soon, so we're spending a bit on the honeymoon (I in particular love to travel). The wedding itself will have 12 people.

The courthouse will solve that problem. :P soulless4now

For real, it's getting to that point.

Save your money, rent a lambo, and spend a week in south beach.Fightingfan

That's so not us. :P We're saving for the honeymoon.

What were wrong with the places you checked out? What kind of place would you like to have it in?ExoticAnimal

We don't want a "venue". Just want to show up somewhere cool and get hitched. We looked at stuff in downtown Chicago but it was too hot and crowded.

STILL can't find a place to get married. :( Checked out 3 locations today and they all sucked.
