For example, of a Celtic theme, a Science Fiction theme, Steampunk, Beach, or are you more traditional in so far as formalities?
When my 2nd partner and I got married we went to a small justice of the peace in Richardson, Tx. The justice was a huge, young guy. My partners daughter was the witness and when she walked into the room she recognized the judge, they had gone to HS together. It was a short simple ceremony and the judge took pictures. A close friend is a secular minister. I would have her administer the ceremony in her and her husband's labyrinth and, this may sound weird, by my late partner's urn/Pomegranate tree. That is what I would have wanted of her and she me.
My fantasy would be an all nude wedding with Counselor Troi in a future Star Trek film FOR REAL marrying Marina Sirtis if she loves me
I misread that at first. I thought it said Miscarriage... ???? If I was having a wedding it wouldn't be religious obviously... so I would have to come up with different sayings of that the dude who is marrying us says.. or that we do or whatever. It would definitely be nerd based. I'd probably have the guy who marries me and my husband say "Would you stand at her side in hopes that the world would never over take y'all?" Like how Farkas vouches for the Dragonborn in during the Companions quest in Skyrim. ????
I saw a humanist celebant ceremony once which I think was quite nice.
If I marry again, although I will probably cede to whatever my partner wants, my happiest plan is a surprise wedding. We'd organize a joint family holiday a week before thanksgiving or something like that, invite our parents, siblings and closest friends for a "friendsgiving" or some such, then get married on the spot. No gifts. No pretense. No nonsense from the family. No anger about who wasn't there. And I don't know if anyone would ever turn down an invitation from us again.
Whatever my bride to be wants, she will be the influence, because quite frankly it will all be for her. A woman that can convince me to marry deserves the wedding of her dreams.
My future wedding ceremony would be a Feminist event according to my mate while I would only veto horrible religious words or symbols ASSUMED ok by my lover
I'd elope - go to Vegas or something, or do a private civil ceremony. Then I'd have a dinner at a nice restaurant for family afterward. I'm not interested in anything big and flashy. My friends and family aren't a real wild bunch.
I was married in Las Vegas once. (Was) We did it on Halloween so, we dressed in costumes and invited our guests to show up in costume too. I was a pirate and she was dressed as a bar wench. My "best man" was a female. She came as my "first mate". It was really a fun wedding. The marriage... not so much.
@bingst I do luvs me some Captain Picard.
@carlyhorton Yay! Hahaha
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. Make it so!"
@bingst But first there's the ENGAGE!ment
@carlyhorton Hahahahaha lmfao
I forgot to mention that it would have to be timed so the honeymoon would be during the official convention there in Vegas.
@bingst Have you seen Patrick Stewart singing cowboy songs?
@carlyhorton lol I saw this earlier today on FB
I have been thinking about this having seen a video a guy made of an Indian wedding. I need to look at more cultures and their practices. I would want to do something different though. Something colorful...
My last marriage was 22 years ago-we got married under a tree in our front yard and had a barbecue and a friend's band which my ex played his drums and fell off the stage in our backyard. Sign of things to come-divorced 2 years later
D'oh...lol
Open bar always does it-specially your own wedding.
I played African goat skin wood carved drums at my wedding 25 years ago. ...nothing foreboding yet I needed to divorce protecting my child from her ex and my 3 step children. ...all is well with my Darrow age 23 great career and happily married to her high school Beau and they babysit my ex mentally disabled unable to admit her betraying our marriage
