[QUOTE="Azul, post: 2630318, member: 11779"] We went very simple and non-traditional. The whole thing cost us a few grand and much of that was the rings and the short honeymoon afterwards. - we rented the local Universalist Unitarian church and crafted a personalized ceremony with their pastor - we got modestly priced rings (white gold and platinum but small diamonds) and my wife made a very non-traditional choice for her wedding dress (an Indian sari -- nope, neither of us is Indian - she just wanted something different and wow did she look striking in it) - we limited ourselves to 25 guests (only immediate family and closest friends) - we decided to skip having a formal reception and instead had a dinner at a nice local restaurant (private room) - we asked guests to cover their meals instead of giving us gifts (many still gave gifts - my folks actually too the money they'd saved to help pay for our wedding and surprised us with a new car... yeah, a car... we freaked too) - instead of hiring a photographer, we bought disposable cameras for all the guests and let them go nuts (the end result was a mixed bag but included lots of great shots - in addition two friends brought video cameras and several brought their own cameras so we got plenty of photos and footage) - the UU church had a nice little meditation garden where we took photos The end result was a roughly 3 hour long affair from start to finish. Very short and sweet. No one had a chance to get bored and we got lots of compliments on how tastefully simple everything was. Best of all, by the end of our wedding festivities, my wife and I weren't totally wrecked. I've had several friends tell me that ours was the "least painful wedding I've ever attended" and one told us he'll probably mimic how we did it if he does wed. Both my wife and I are not fans of formal ceremony, so that wedding was just right for us. Whatever you do, you should have your wedding express your own tastes and personality. Keep control of your wedding details (we had to fight my family's constant attempts to make it a bigger and showier affair) and you'll be all the more happy, but do feel free to delegate to friends and family you trust to do what you want.
