| 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. |

| I finally uploaded a few pictures of my summer camp wedding as a little propaganda tour, because
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. IMAGE REMOVED - CLICK TO VIEW Room enough to accommodate your enormous family IMAGE REMOVED - CLICK TO VIEW (this is my mom's family-- my dad's family's bigger) We also had: 1. Kickball 2. 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!

| the last wedding i went to, with my co-worker's daughter and bill's co-worker, was SUPER traditional except for one very funny, very maine thing: the rings were carried down the aisle on deer antlers. it got a HUGE laugh, which was awesome because the mother of the bride had been SO INTENSE the whole year they were planning the wedding and it was a relief that it could still be a fun event. |

| BarXtheRockinM - 11/07/08 - 9:49 am (148.183.241.21) |

| argo - 11/07/08 - 9:52 am (65.78.25.94) |
| Maid or Matron of Honor? I wouldn't think it's weird, but then I think it's awesome whenever weddings are a bit different. 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. |
