Again I am glad for the three-week wedding preparation with added No! Guests! At! All!
$100 Justice of the Peace was the only thing we ended up paying for.
Which probably isn't helpful. But it was nice, and no one was mad at us for doing it ass-ways, but then we're both the doing-it-ass-ways members of our respective families.
seriously - there are some great dresses out there for $150. No need to spend $3,000 - or whatever.
My wedding might have cost the equivalent of a $750 in today's dollars. I had it in a building at Vanderbilt, and the room was decorated with greenery that two friends stole from all over campus. At one point, a campus cop asked them what they were doing, and they made up some story that satisfied him. Fortunately, he didn't look in the trunk, which was stuffed with magnolia and holly branches.

Somehow, petty theft for a wedding just seems so romantic....
Ha, Ginger! That's awesome.
So, I brought Suzi a very special present. So far, everyone in her family has thrown it across the room. I'm so sad.
Oh, vw. I will HANG it up before the game tonight.
Ok, I don't know anything about weddings, but I do know plenty about crack.
Wedding planners have expensive taste...they're probably on the powder, not the rock.
Still crazy, less jail time.
IJS.
(This is why I heard "Gangsta's Paradise" and thought "processional?"
Because it's So Not Gonna Happen. Nobody will ever feel their life isn't complete without me. Probably because of things like that!)
Mom gets sad when I say that, but she'll be happy I'm not thinking of "It's The End of The World..." anymore.
She'd love Coolio in comparison.
Would you believe my stepmonster wanted to make me a debutante?
No, but I'm okay with that.

That reminds me of that guy, was it a Baldwin?, who was on the radio after a stint in rehab saying "I never smoked crack, I freebased cocaine" because, of course, that's better.
maybe he cooked with a silver spoon or something.
We're all very impressed.
My favorite thing about that David Simon article in The New Yorker was that he put Fran Boyd's nuptials in the Vows section in NYT.
