Hahaha, sorry but apparently my dad was hung over for his wedding...so my mum says. His grooms men took him out night the night before and got him plastered.
The wedding is just a big party, if you really want to be married and can't afford a huge part, just go down to city hall. Either way (party no party) you're still married.
My parents got married in a church (it's no longer there though) and they just invited close family and friends. It was a very small wedding. They actually just got a large hotle suite and had a very small reception in there with finger foods and cake. The only problem with that was my parents were also staying in the suite (they didn't have a honeymoon) and some of my dad's friends got too drunk and passed out in their honeymoony suite.

If all you want is a party just thorw a big part and have everyone come in formal attire, it'll save everyone a lot of grief when you end up in divorce...and if you want presents, make it a birthday party.
My cousin got married and I was in the bridal party. Her parents are very wealthy and so they ended paying for evrything. Her step-mum did all the wedding planning...yet my cousin was an uberbridezilla throughout the whole thing (even though she did nothing but try on wedding gowns and have parties)
The ceremony was outside at their country club and the reception inside at the club. All through the cocktail hour she was smoking in the ladies powder room with her bridesmaids while her new husband was getting wasted with his groomsmen. They finally sat together at dinner, but never once spoke to each other. Then after dinner they did the same thing. Smoking in ladies room and getting plastered outside. All the wedding guests were commenting that they were never together.
The marriage lasted 6 months.
Her parents spent all that money basically for a grandious party.
If you're going to get married, make sure it with the right person.
Wow, long post.
Ok, one more question.
Wedding showers? I have never been to one. I have been to bridal showers. But those are for the bride, and her guests are usually the bridal party and close female friends and family. Gifts are generally given to just the bride and are not meant for the couple.
Is there a difference between and wedding shower and a bridal shower?
