This is just a test: I posted a reply in this thread during the time that GC was "malfunctioning" and it never recognized that I actually posted a response. So I hope by posting another response, it wil recognize this time that I posted something... Now back to your regular thread...

One of my bros married a beautiful Chi Omega last september. And yeah, when I say beautiful...I mean H O T man. Anyways, They had it at the Laker Arrowhead Resort out in California. It was so beautiful. Your picture kind of reminded me of it.

Anyways romantic right? Hell yeah it was. Although I kept tellling myself that this place would be a great place to grow weed because of all the huge ass trees.

Anyways, back to reality for me. I am only 22. No more wedding talk. Wait lemme check if I still have my penis. Ok yeah, I do good. ok I'm a PIZZIMP. Brush my shouldas off, UH UH

LATER!

We do a bunch of weddings at the Penn Museum, it is just magnificent for a black tie wedding if you don't want the hotel look. Personally I'm gonna go low key, maybe the family beach house. :D

This is one of those rooms you walk into though and it is just breathtaking.

I want to get married here.

Since I live in Vegas, our options are limited when it actually comes to nice weddings (IMO) We have a bunch of reception halls but I feel they are fake. So I want to get married at ranch by Red Rock Canyon.

Where I am hoping to get married:

(first choice, but very pricey and no chance of reserving a weekend date for the next couple of years! We're in no hurry though!)

What you don't realize about this church is the location...

This is the view when you step outside the church.

:eek:

WOW! That is one beautiful site!

Only difference is this isn't a lake, this is part of the Pacific Ocean, known as the Burrard Inlet... ;)

I went to a wedding there a couple years ago, but in the summer. The sun shines into the church, giving it an unbelievable glow! It was a beautiful day, and a beautiful wedding.

BTW, two of my ancestors' names are on the plaques just outside the church!

I am virtually required now to get married in a place featured in the original Thirteen Alabama Ghosts (and Jeffrey). My two best friends from way back when were married at Sturdivant Hall and Gaineswood, respectively, and so now I have to find one. Good thing I'm nowhere near getting married right now--I can't even begin to think of where I'd do it. The old Drish Home in Tuscaloosa might be a good spot, although I do love the old Capitol Grounds as well (but they're not in the book!).
