| post pictures of unconventional, but not hideous, wedding stuff. dresses, ceremonies, cakes,
whatever. not stupid stuff. anything that still looks beautiful without having any taffeta, tulle,
glitter, etc. i am not princess barbie. no reason. |

We will open all envelopes labeled “1″ on our first wedding anniversary, all envelopes labeled “50″ on our 50th wedding anniversary, etc |

| eatingout - 07/26/08 - 7:33 pm (66.31.45.77) |
| If you are serious, call some places up. It was cheaper to reserve space at the bbq place than any
hall/vfw/elks club/etc. Its also way cheaper than a caterer, in many instances. (ps - make the guests fill up on seaweed salad or something) |

bowls. .. that's a big if, though. |

| My parents had an awesome quasi-elopement. They knew they were gonna get married, their families
knew they were gonna get married, but there was no date set. Then one day they were in a coastal
Croatian town with my pop's family and they said they were gonna go into town to run some errands.
They went to a justice of the peace or whatever Croatian equivalent there is, and got married. They
met my dad's family in town later and told them they'd just gotten married. Just then an annual town
celebration/festival was starting, and rumor went around that some couple had gotten married, and so
thousands of people toasted and partied with my folks. My mom wore a bright red dress and my dad
wore black pants, a black shirt, and some sunglasses. The pictures look badass. My wife and I had a more traditional church wedding, with the reception at the Fogg Museum. I think the unconventional stuff was in the details, not necessarily the whole picture. We had a Hungarian vocal group sing as guests came, we had Eli Reed & The True Loves play a burnin' dance party, and there were lots of little bits of Croatian, Hungarian, and Southern tradition strewn around. It wasn't some wild reinvention, but it really was the most wonderful party. Kalyn wore an incredible dress, the bridesmaids wore black, looked awesome, and I had my guys wear black suits. I didn't want a tuxedo anywhere near the proceedings... I wish I had some pictures |

| man, a sushi bar would be ridiculous. we had a fairly straight forward ceremony in the morning. really quick though. like 15min. then we had a lunch buffet at a local italian restaurant. no dancing or nothing, but we made a playlist and that going in the background. just an informal thing with lots of eating. and then that night we had a party in providence with a dj and bbq-ing. it was a really good day. we went home in between. opened cards. it was nice. |

| Thanks, guys! Getting that suit together was a labor of love; I think it might've taken me longer than it took Rosie to find her dress. At one point I caught myself seriously thinking "sock garters! How did I forget sock garters?!" and had to take a big mental step back. |

weddings at camps are pretty flexible and fun. For example, we had: Canoe races (unfuckwithable and zekar's niece is in this picture-- cutie pie!!!) <img src"http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3005/2705284984_591e243e05.jpg"> A quasi potluck main meal IMAGE REMOVED - CLICK TO VIEW A wheel of cheese instead of a cake <img src'http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3026/2704463921_2fcddd6e82.jpg"> (at the last minute, we also got a cake from a local bakery) A costume party and dancing until 4AM.

A Climbing wall 3. People stayed over in cabins 4. A pancake breakfast 5. Oh, and a wedding ceremony My favorite part of all was that the camp we got married at serves low-income and homeless kids from Boston (I worked there one summer). Renting the camp also supports their kid programs. |

| my brother and his wife got married at the top of a hill in Yosemite. It was the most fun wedding
ever, and they barely spent any money at all. The "rehearsal dinner" was a costume party
and square dance - with a caller and everything. Then the wedding was outside, and afterwards my
brother made us all do the Thriller dance - no joke, we had practices and everything. And everyone
had a "job", sort of - one person did the flowers, one person made a cake that looked like
a mountain (they're both rock climbers), and it was made of brownies and we all had brownie sundaes!

I've shot weddings where the mom was the matron of honor, or the dad was the best man. Something I like to tell my bridal couples: it's your wedding. Forget about what weddings are "supposed" to be like, or what they "traditionally" entail. What do YOU want? Go with that. |

| it seems to me like most of these dresses/ weddings are pretty conventional. i think the "uncoventional" thing about them is that all of the girls wearing the dresses have lots of tattoos, or there might be an element of black in the dress. I mean some of the weddings have a quirky cake or whatever but the only truely uncoventional ones posted are appletree's, megrets, the star wars one, and maybe the camp one. Those are the ones I like the best. I know I sound all negative, but I'm looking through this thead waiting to see awesome unconventional stuff and it just looks like the same old boring wedding but with tattoos. |

| none of these brides look like princess barbie. that's all i had asked for, originally. i don't care about anyone's tattoos. i think that having guitar hero, photobooths, board game centerpieces, handfasting, swords, bikes, libraries, polkadots, felt flowers, wish trees, etc are all a little bit outside the conventional white-poofy dress, boring organist, church wedding box. but thanks for contributing! |

it can also be worthwhile and incredibly important for a myriad of reasons. i did not ask for unconventional life decisions. i asked for ways to make a typical, maybe even expected, life decision unique. |

| cripes - 11/30/08 - 6:50 pm (168.122.197.172) |
| megret, your wedding seems perfect. i think i would do something like that. i never thought i would want to have a typical sort of wedding in a hall or anything, but last night i went to a wedding that was pretty traditional, but small and classy and very fun. |
| eepee - 11/30/08 - 6:51 pm (96.237.71.212) |
| thanks! i'm also contemplating a box of dress-ups but i fear this wedding may end up more like a bar mitzvah. |

| I don't understand the long engagement thing. Aren't you sort of just dating then? |

| sean - 7:28 pm (216.220.216.177) I don't understand the long engagement thing. Aren't you sort of just dating then? ...and planning. |
| sean - 11/30/08 - 8:04 pm (216.220.216.165) |
| Sure. I get that part of it, but beyond a year? Is it really that involved? I know nothing about these things. |
| torpaul - 11/30/08 - 8:09 pm (68.14.87.52) |
| we were engaged for a little less than a year and we could have used a little more time....but i think we did an awesome job on a shoestring budget and about 9-10monthes of planning. |
| eepee - 11/30/08 - 8:11 pm (96.237.78.20) |
| i don't know, to each his own. all i know is, we're six months into our engagement and still have LOTS to figure out. |
| fluff - 11/30/08 - 8:18 pm (86.45.81.25) |
| the whole thing is as involved or not as you want it to be. |

| sean - 11/30/08 - 7:28 pm (216.220.216.177) I don't understand the long engagement thing. Aren't you sort of just dating then? no, you are engaged to be married. when you are dating you don't know that you are getting married. when you get engaged you decide to get married. sometimes you have the ability to get married the next day, sometimes you need to wait a year or more. |
| megret - 12/01/08 - 9:34 am (155.52.4.132) |
| i asked edward to marry me in january, and we got married in june. it was just like planning a big
fun party. the best and funniest parts of our wedding were: 1: when edward and i were looking at each other, holding hands and all that, we realized we left the rings in his backpack, which was behind us. so we had to interrupt the ceremony to fish them out. lots of laughing. 2: when we were saying the vows part, all serious and sweet, the pizza delivery guys came, and the whole room started smelling like delicious pizza, and we all started laughing again. it ruled. yay weddings. do what you want. be stubborn. |
| katiekay - 12/01/08 - 9:47 am (98.217.139.165) |
| i had always said that i wasn't going to get married.. and then i said that if i did i would have a 3-5 year engagement. there are a few things going on in our lives that, in my opinion, just makes it make sense to have at least a year engagement... and really, maybe even longer. but also, we both really want there to be sweet leaves as the backdrop. haha. |

| This thread does much to highlight the horrible aesthetic of a shitload of shitty tattoos drawn on one's body to draw attention to one's self/make one into a bigger parody of themselves than they already are. |
| lil_red - 12/01/08 - 9:50 am (71.232.27.90) |
| katie that is the same with us. We got engaged in january- knew we wanted to get married in october, and had to choose between either rushing around for 10 months getting shit together, while I was still a full time student working on my thesis, or taking our time and getting married after I graduate. We chose the latter. |
| linds - 12/01/08 - 10:23 am (75.101.10.76) |
| We're having a long engagement too - got engaged last Thanksgiving and the date is set for 9/12/09.
We knew that this year we'd both be finishing grad school, searching for jobs, and moving, and
decided next year would be better. Thank god we have the amount of time that we do, because we only have the patience for so much wedding-planning stuff at a time, and it's coming along slowly. |
| Dirigo - 12/01/08 - 10:40 am (74.75.7.251) |
| hey katiekay is getting married?? congrats! i had no idea. |
| lil_red - 12/01/08 - 11:12 am (76.19.197.205) |
| linds- I hear that. I was pushing for october 2008 at first and now I am so incredibly glad we are waiting till 2009 |
| eepee - 12/01/08 - 4:49 pm (71.174.182.176) |
| i have friends who got married six months after they got engaged. how they managed to throw all that shit together that quickly is beyond me. |
| streganona - 12/03/08 - 12:47 pm (64.214.98.3) |
| i have come to the conclusion that i am obligated in every way to do super low key pizza wedding when that time comes, because anything that takes a significant bite out of our ability to buy our home would be wasteful and irresponsible, and unless we suddenly get rich, it is pretty much one big expenditure or the other, but not both. |
| boptheduck - 12/03/08 - 12:59 pm (70.102.205.154) |
| I just ordered my engagement ring. I know it's pretty typical, not at all unusual or unconventional to have an engagement ring, but I don't care. I want one nice sparkly, shiny thing in my otherwise modest, budget-oriented life. |

see! dsensationale - please tell me about it because i never read your other thread and i am out of the loop and have been very curious. jim and others - :( |

| megret - 12/03/08 - 1:09 pm (155.52.4.132) |
| yeah bop, post a pic! i also love sparkly things! pot-lucks seem like the greatest idea. if we had a smaller wedding, i was going to make loads of meatballs and get all my friends to bring over their crockpots. that with 10 gallons of sauce, a couple hundred loaves of fresh baked bread, and some salad and BAM delicious inexpensive meal. but in the end, meatballs for 100+ people was a little too ambitious for me. |
| eepee - 12/03/08 - 1:57 pm (96.233.17.132) |
| yay sparkly things! just wait until you're wearing it in direct sunlight and it shoots little sparks all over the place. hours of entertainment. |
| boptheduck - 12/03/08 - 2:26 pm (70.102.205.154) |
| I will post pics when I have it! It needs to be set and all that good stuff first, and then sent to
me. I'll probably have it end of next week. Or you could all just see it in person when I am in Boston/Western MA/CT Dec. 23-28 :) |
| eepee - 12/03/08 - 2:28 pm (96.233.17.132) |
| the nice thing about what you're doing is you'll know it'll fit you so you won't end up having to
get it cut off at the fire station. (cough) |
| Sparky - 12/03/08 - 2:32 pm (72.46.161.74) |
| the nice thing about not asking your fiance-to-be is her ring size and then have to try to cram on
the wrong size ring and end up having to get it cut off at the fire station. (you should get that cough looked at) |

| streganona - 12/03/08 - 4:26 pm (64.214.98.3) |
| [he doesn't know this, but while we're having this private conversation, the good doctor is my #1 dream choice for such an engagement.] |
| streganona - 12/03/08 - 4:29 pm (64.214.98.3) |
| not, uh, that this is a topic of discussion. |
| sean - 12/03/08 - 7:00 pm (68.160.48.3) |
| It would be unconventional to not use stupid jewelry or at least to choose jewelry that isn't dragged out of the ground by slave labor. |
| boptheduck - 12/03/08 - 8:15 pm (70.102.205.154) |
| hence the part where I wrote: "I know it's pretty typical, not at all unusual or
unconventional to have an engagement ring, but I don't care." also, my diamond is certified conflict-free, FYI. I'm not a total asshole. |
| sean - 12/03/08 - 8:19 pm (68.160.48.3) |
| All diamonds are blood diamonds. |
| boptheduck - 12/03/08 - 8:49 pm (70.102.205.154) |

| sean - 12/03/08 - 9:53 pm (68.160.48.3) |
| I was joking. Artificial diamonds and stones in general are cool. My only objection is that no one knows it's fake and people think you're wearing a real diamond and thus are an asshole. |

| my diamond is canadian. no conflict, just polar bears. and, according to the certificate, there's a microscopic maple leaf laser-etched in it somewhere. the canadian government is tracking me. |
| sean - 12/03/08 - 10:03 pm (68.160.48.3) |
| I don't get it. It's like a fake mink coat. People who know what's up still think you're an asshole. |
| eepee - 12/03/08 - 10:05 pm (96.237.81.26) |
| it's okay, i think they're assholes too. |
| sean - 12/03/08 - 10:06 pm (68.160.48.3) |
| Good rationale. |
| camilla - 12/03/08 - 10:27 pm (68.110.123.153) |

| katiekay - 12/04/08 - 9:38 am (98.217.139.165) |
| i have no ring. he asked if i wanted one and i said no. i am not a jewelry type person, although i
do like the symbolism. we'll just have to risk the jinx and get tattoos or something. thanks, guys! |
| megret - 12/04/08 - 9:53 am (155.52.4.132) |
| i didnt go for an engagement ring either! i gave him an antique pocket watch when i asked him. he got rather large portraits of my cats tattooed on his arm several years ago, which means way more to me than jewelry! |
| djd - 12/04/08 - 10:32 am (24.63.201.100) |
| All engaged people should wear rings so you can tell at a glance that they are off the market. |
| streganona - 12/04/08 - 10:33 am (64.214.98.3) |
| it should take more than the ring to tell you that. |
| djd - 12/04/08 - 10:50 am (24.63.201.100) |
| I just don't want to waste my time on the T plotting totally fruitless approaches. |
| timberlinerecs - 12/04/08 - 10:51 am (128.103.18.140) |
| Why? I see an engagement ring or wedding band and it's a clear sign. Why would you need more? |
| streganona - 12/04/08 - 10:52 am (64.214.98.3) |
| oh, well. i was just sort of joking, having spent some time as the go-to girl to hit on if you are wearing a ring, for some reason. |
| eepee - 12/04/08 - 2:35 pm (96.233.26.21) |
| the ring is useful to wave at over-eager peet's customers. |
