What kind of wedding do you want? Or did you have?

Question

Big, Small, was it themed? Did you elope?

Answer 1

I had a very low-key, small-medium sized wedding. I think we had about 80 guests. The ceremony and cocktail hour were outside overlooking a lake. We then went inside for dinner, drinks and dancing. After the wedding, our close friends came back to our hotel room where we played drinking games. It was perfect for us.

We did not elope, although we thought about it. There wasn't really a theme, but I used "theme" colors (light blue and mocha).

Answer 2

My wedding was not a big thing, but it wasnt a backyard bbq either. We got married in our Catholic church by our priest Father John, it was awesome because my parents actually live across the street from the Catholic Church so technically Father John was my neighbor. My husband and I both went to the youth group so Father John knew us from there so it was very special that he married us.

We got married on a Friday at 6:00pm. It was wonderful. We had a great ceremony, the church choir sang the most beautiful song that used to love to sing at weddings when I used to sing with them:

Dame tu mano, toma la mia
en este dia no importa nada solo tu y yo
Hemos llegado paso a paso
a atar el lazo para unirnos con la bendicion de Dios
Tu de blanco yo de ***** llegamos frente al altar
para unirnos para siempre y no separarnos mas
Solamente con la muerte Dios nos a de separar
Por mi parte te prometo serte fiel hasta el final.

Give me your hand, take my hand
On this day nothing else matters only you and I
We have gotten here step by step
To tie the knot with the blessings of our Lord
You in white, me in black, get to the altar
to join each other forever and never separate more
Only with death will God be able to separate us
On my part I promise to be faithful 'till the end.

The reception started right after the wedding at 7pm. It was awesome and then at 8pm we had the first dance, the father daughter dance, then we just danced the night away. The reception and dance took place at our church's bingo hall. Its a nice sized hall with a kitchen and smaller classrooms around it. It was incredible. It was a simple wedding but with a lot of people.

The only thing was that my husband had just had an eye injury about a month and a half before and I had a horrible case of sciatica to the point where I couldnt stand up right. But the important thing was that we were going to unite in the eyes of God and be together forever. We overcame that and now we know we can overcome anything.

I love being married!!!

Answer 3

We started out the day at sunrise in the middle of 160 acres, us, our parents, best man, maid of honor, grandparents, pastor and his wife. Very simple sweet and to the point. We then traveled 2 hours back home to have an big outdoor church wedding (our church has an alter outside). We had about 300 guests at our reception. It was everything I dreamed of. I enjoyed our small intimate ceremony Up North (for those from Michigan--you understand) and was still able to celebrate with a big ceremony (the second ceremony was a breeze after being emotional at the first, there was no stress and we laughed and enjoyed each other) and party at the end of the day. We are very close to our families so it was important to have everyone involved so this was our solution.

Answer 4

I am planning my wedding for this fall. It will be an outdoor wedding in a garden of a bed and breakfast. We are inviting 200 people with 168 of them being family. The reception will take place at the same location so guest do not have to drive somewhere else and can just get up from the ceremony and go sit at their tables. We hired a caterer and DJ. It will be a great party in a gorgous setting.

Answer 5

Because we have such a large family and because we have lots of friends, my wife and I had about 400 people at our wedding. The thing that most concerned us was to not be too extravagant with things, although we could afford to be. We chose small center pieces and tried to keep it fun but simple.

People who flaunt their wealth are foolish. People who go into hock up to their ears to try and flaunt something they don't even own are the victims of these fools.

The main reason we did this is because a wedding is really about getting married and not about pressuring other people to feel like they need to spend a fortune on a wedding.

We felt our wedding should be a sensible celebration of the sanctification our becoming husband and wife.

Answer 6

I had a big outdoor garden-y wedding with tons of flowers and sparkly lights and perfectness. It had a fairy/renaissance feel to it. the dresses were empire waisted with long sheer flowy sleeves, and the bridesmaids wore wreaths of flowers in their hair. the colors were kind of a periwinkle/lavender. It was a great party, and everyone talked about it for months after, even people who wern't there!
It was AWESOME, but in retrospect, it probably would have been smarter to have a smaller wedding and put a downpayment on a house instead.

Answer 7

Eloped. Bare feet on the beach.

Answer 8

Had a church wedding, with about 200 guests. We don't do themes where I'm from, but it was a traditional Ukrainian wedding, with a beautiful ceremony, and fun dinner and reception!

Answer 9

Mine was a small white country wedding, the theme was country pink/white. It was at a ranch in sunbury Australia with 120 guests and pink and white rose petals every where! We got married in a church first and then had the reception, it was magical!!

Answer 10

oooh good question, I want to do a masquerade theme around halloween, with the wedding party in black tuxes and dresses, and maybe a kind of updated version of a medevil dress, with the corset and everything, but with the laces in the back to be black to match the wedding party, and instead of a viel, an elaboratly decorated mask that only covers the eyes, you know like the ones they have at mardi gras.

elegant and candlelit, thats my dream te he
