So yeah, four months from now I will be married. I am super excited and we are in the thick of final planning. Still need to lock down the photographer, I need to buy my suit and we need to send out invitations by the end of the month.
What are your stories of marriage and weddings? Advice for the teacher and his betrothed as we spend ourselves into the poorhouse for a single day's party?
I honestly can't wait for my wedding, I am just a big man-girl about it.

Thanks guys!
Krunk - What do you think your ceremony will be like?

I'm getting married in July, trying to keep everything to a minimum cost-wise except the food. Even doing that there's a lot of shit to think about, can't imagine trying to stay on top of the whole kaboodle.
Honestly I am amazed how this adds up. Catering for 85-95 people will come in at around three grand. That doesn't include tax or tip. The place we got at a steal for $1800. My fiance spent $400 on her dress, my Mom will be buying my suit. The photographer will probably run another $1200.
Seriously dude, keeping it cheap is still super expensive, but we are making it happen. I love her, and we are gonna make the day great.

I'm getting married in about 3 weeks and I don't think it has quite hit me properly yet, hah.

I just have the one wedding story. A friend of mine's sister got married in Scotland, and one of the groom's friends decided he would go all out and wear a kilt. He bought a proper kilt that fit well, but had always tried it on over his trousers. On the morning of the wedding he realised he had the whitest legs in the world, which looked truly awful under the tartan. Since he was *far* to much of a man to arse about with fake tan, the brainiac got some Oxo stock cubes and rubbed them on his legs to brown them up a bit.
To cut a long story short, the reception was held outdoors and he spent almost all of it trying to get away from two dogs that would not stop licking his legs. The bride is still super pissy about it and has never let us upload the wedding video on YouTube.
You'll be the most married man.... IN THE UNIVERSE!
I was a guest at a Bavarian wedding a few years ago. I've never seen so many grown men drink themselves senseless.
I should be working a wedding come this December, pretty excited to gain some extra cash that way.
That's great dude!
Yes she has a dress, our reception is cocktail style because we are trying to keep things small and intimate with our friends and family. We found a nice gothic ex-church in the city. Amazing place.

Every single once has been awesome but none were crazier than my older brother's wedding.

My sister-in-law had twenty people show up, my side of the family at forty. We had five begs of beer made custom made for us and purchased 120 bottles of wine. By the end of the evening the kegs had been obliterated and we'd consumed 80 bottles of wine.
I got so drunk I ended up grinding with my crazy aunt on the dance floor while the rest of the wedding cheered us on.
it was epic
Drunk dancefloor incest! awesome!

It was pretty nice.
cough
First thing that comes to mind.
[edit] Fixed.
Also, no gifts. My fiancé and I each picked a charity, and on the invitation we're asking people to donate to one of them in lieu of buying us something. There's at least one website set up to do it like a wedding registry.
I probably don't have to say which charity I picked.
ive avoided all of them for the past six.
Maybe next time you'll learn to respect an employer's prima nocta rights!
It was pretty small (about fifty people)
Nice location, good food
I got to pick the dance music and there was champagne and Bellini's for all

Sier and I forgot to do that.
We kept it low key, even though I wanted to have a big celebration.
My preacher told me that most people would frown on me marrying a child.

The groomsmen bought a couple fifths of different alcohol and stored them in the men's bathroom. As the wedding went on we'd all go to the bathroom to take shots. Eventually it just became me bringing my aunts & cousins in there for shots. We'd exit the bathroom reeking of tequila.
I am the worst.
Yes, this. I feel like the vow exchange or whatever should be a much more private thing than it is. Also: spending mind-blowing money on the part of the ceremony that lasts maybe 15 minutes is silly. Throw all that money at the fun party party section of the event!!
This makes me glad that no one in my family drinks.
