S/o Where did you get married?

Yeah. We were married at the Beehive House in Salt Lake, where Brigham Young housed many of his wives. As much as I despise BY now and anything to do with polygamy, it's a regret that we didn't choose a venue that wasn't attached to the church somehow.

We were sealed later in the Oakland temple. Nothing special.

If I had to do it over again, I'd be married in the mountains   .

At a Lutheran Church in Eugene, OR.

Big Catholic wedding in the church we both attended as children. Reception at a meh VFW club because there was no rental fee to use the venue, we just had to purchase the liquor from them. My parents were paying for the wedding, so I had to compromise on some of the things I wanted.

There were no (and still are) no nice places for a reception in the town I grew up in.

I posted a photo of it above!  I got married there too!

I got married at a church called Country Club Christian Church..and if you look it up.. it is AMAZING.... BUTTTT I didn't get married at that church, I got married at the little church that they owned next to it. (I don't know the history why there are two churches) but it is a beautiful little church near the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City.

I only had about 100 guests and one maid of honor and best man. I didn't live in KC but all my family and DH family lived there, so my step-mom at the time planned it all and she (and my dad) paid for it all. It was expensive. But that is what she wanted and heck I said go for it. I just picked my colors and she did most of the rest. (She did ask me what I liked and wanted) but she was very 'uppity' (not in a bad way, just the way she was.. she is British and proper) and had to have things a certain way. I didn't care... I just showed up and it was more than I would have ever asked for in a million years. My family still talks about it. My British proper stepmom probably had the time of her life, by the end of the evening she was in her bare feet dancing away... not proper at all.

We will celebrate our 23rd anniversary on March 19th.

I think it is still there and when I saw it I thought it was such a beautiful little church. Nothing like most of the wedding chapels in Vegas. You are the first person that I've met who married there. I always wonder why more people who go to Vegas don't use it. We were married in'69 and I think they have moved it down the strip since then.

Beautiful Anglican Church with one Marton of Honour and DH had his best man. Reception was at a little community hall nearby with about 90 family and friends.

45 years for us in April this year!

Awahnee hotel in Yosemite! We had 100 people and it was awesome.

We got married in my family's Catholic Church in an east side Cleveland suburb.

It was a beautiful venue where the ceremony and reception were in the same building---which appealed to me A LOT  !!!  I loved knowing that our guests could just walk into another area and start enjoying some cocktails, appetizers, and music while waiting for us to take allllll the posed
photos!  NO DRIVING for anyone!    


The room for the reception was simple and elegant with a huge dance floor and lovely faux trees with white lights---I LOVED it!     And dancing and GOOD MUSIC were the most important thing for me---I
wanted people having fun and dancing, and we did!!!   I asked the DJ to play MANY
different genres of music to appeal to everyones' tastes!   We also did the silly chicken dance,
the bunny hop, etc!  


LOL, this was in 1996 when "The Macerna" was a thing. That was FUN!  Especially
people like me who had NO IDEA what I was doing, so it gave us lots of laughter! 




One of the best parts was at the end, where Sister Sledge's song  "We Are Family" played
and almost everrrry single person was on the dance floor---even my adorable
87-year-old Grandmother in her wheelchair !!!!! 



As a sidenote, my dear sister-in-law had a FOUR-HOUR window between her wedding
and reception, and lost A LOT of guests for the reception that way!    I would've
been so sad if that happened at ours! 

-------------------------------------------------------------
Looking back, although I LOVED our wedding day, I would also LOVE LOVE LOVE
to have a simple, small wedding on a BEACH with just family and very close friends! 

I should post piks of my step-sister's reception--- It was
on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, at a lovely outdoor place, almost on the beach, with beautiful of the OCEAN !!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
lisacharlotte ----Oh noooo! So the ONLY footage you have of your special day is
feet !??! 

cindosha---WHAT !!? Scary! How did her hair catch on fire??  Was she okay?

That sounds wonderful !!!  My step-sister lives there, and she posts the most
beautifulllll photos! I would LOVE to visit someday!  I've always heard people
just fall in love with Savannah! 


I'm loving this thread---but would LOVE to see more  piks !!!! 

I went to a boarding school in high school. We got married by their chaplain, in their chapel. My music teacher (who had gotten me a scholarship to attend) played the organ.

Happy anniversary!

Wedding no 1, the actual ceremony part, was MIL no 1's show, for a couple of reasons: she was a widow who was very active in the local Presbyterian church. Her whole social life revolved around this church's activities. My DH no 1 was her third, youngest son and the other two had not co-operated at all (both were shotgun weddings, she wasn't even invited to the first one). My family were "hatched, matched and dispatched" Anglicans, but having moved from our home country to SA a couple of years earlier even those bonds were broken. It meant a lot to her to take charge of that part and it gave me/ my Mom an easier ride on other aspects. The reception was at a local hall quite close to the church, all was well. In retrospect, the only complaint I might have had was the blue carpet- horrible for the scrapbooks, my bridesmaids wore coral.

Wedding no 2, ceremony and reception, were in the restaurant of a hotel. It had a huge curved window, facing the oncoming sunset over banks of cream roses. Our guests sat at small tables while we were married in the window area. Afterwards we all went out among the millions of roses and onto a patio which was our dance floor while the staff set up a long table for us/ our party in the aforesaid window, ready for a sit down dinner and speeches. It was perfect.

I have to mention the blessing which followed- the poster above with the hair on fire story- could have happened at the blessing! My DH is from Wales and his very game close family flew out to Africa for the wedding; my parents were elderly and not able to travel (sadly, I lost my Dad just before the wedding, the peas have supported me regarding this sad story on previous threads, thanks peas x) we had a blessing in a tiny chapel in Hook, Pembrokeshire, a bit later in the year with a reception for all the welsh and greater UK family. This chapel is so small and the upright pews very close together. If you sit on the end and slouch, the candle at the side of the pew will set your hair on fire!

Great thread!
