Did you do anything special? How was your wedding special to you? If at all?
How crazy did your folks drive you?
Overall, how much did your wedding cost? Who finally paid for it?
If you have yet to be married, how would you do your wedding???

I will start off with my wedding...
I had two ceremonies...
The elopement done by a Judge and a formal religious ceremony in Sedona, Arizona...
My now husband planned the elopement. I filled out the application you get on line, get is stamped by a Notary Public, he found the Judge to sign all the paperwork and the Judge had a little spiel for us, then we were married...
For the religious ceremony, more was involved. My now husband put down the $$$ to save the date. Coordinated with the wedding coordinator. Then the ladies HAD to take over... I was assured only a few bouquets of flowers... That would not do... So, I had to purchase more flowers. Then my mother wanted a banquet. We had a sit-down dinner banquet at a Sedona Hotel. Then we had a post-wedding lunch at another Sedona Hotel. I paid for that. My parents paid the rest.
Total cost for the religious cermony--~$9000 dollars... No including Honeymoon. I never have had a honeymoon...
For the most part my folks were fine. It was my MIL that was psycho... (See my other posts on that issue)
The separation from the time we eloped to the formal religious ceremony was about 2 months... A well organized wedding without full planner's capability takes at least 1 year... But that is for the measily 100 person wedding... With more people, it takes longer...
I really didn't do any cultural things other than "Jumping the Broom"... (Google Search if you don't know)...
So that is about it for my wedding... What about yours?
