All we have planned is the registrar as a good friend has recently qualified, and can do it for us on any given sunday or bank holiday.

I like this idea
I never thought that getting married in a barn could look so...elegant

That's neat, there's a place near my house called the Museum of Appalachia that has lots of old barns and an old fashion church. Lots of people get married there, and it always looks really nice.

You're getting married? So many CFers in love! What's her name?

 

[LadyOfMystery]

I think this would be a beautiful place to get married in

 

[LadyOfMystery]

It's called the Mildred B. Cooper Memorial Chapel in Arkansas. Here's the outside:

That's pretty, Jennie. I actually have looked at that before. So beautiful. I love how you can see so much of the outdoors.

 

[Tink]

I have to start planning the reception soon. I'm pretty excited.

I know! It would be like an indoor/outdoor wedding at the same time.

Right, because you were going to wait until summer to have your reception..weren't you?

 

[Tink]

Yes. We are having it in July (both our birthdays are that month. )

Some pics from our wedding...

I got married in the church/school where I worked. With it being a school, stuff like this was everywhere...

Pic the DJ took:

 

[LadyOfMystery]

I love your pictures, Melissa! You guys look amazing. I love the cut/style of your dress.

Also..I have to admit, Im a bit jealous of your wedding cake. It almost looks too good to eat, and I possibly said the same thing when I saw it for the first time. lol

Love the picture the DJ took, very romantic and sweet!

Love the centerpiece for the table. And the flowers

Well, I have always wanted a non-white dress and I stuck to that. I wore a red dress. The color scheme wasn't picked by me. The church still had Christmas decorations up, but I really liked it. It probably looks a lot better than my original idea (of red and gold). And it helped make it very festive looking. Though I did go with my original color idea with my outfit. I wore gold heels with my red dress. (It was mostly because I love the colors red and gold, but there was the added bonus of those being traditional colors in Chinese weddings and general celebrations. Chinese traditional culture sees red as symbolizing joy and good luck, as does gold to a lesser extent.

And as far as delicious cakes, I got gingerbread and mint chocolate cake pops for the reception. I had originally wanted cupcakes because I thought a big cake didn't make sense for a small wedding/reception and it would be nicer for the guests (and me) for them to just get their own individual sized desserts and not have to wait for it all to be cut with stupid cake in face traditions. Cake pops seemed more fun and were about the same price for decent cupcakes.

Oh, and we went with traditional yellow gold wedding rings. I'm not a fan of white gold or platinum and just don't think those colors look good on me either. (No judgment against those who do like white gold, just not my style.)

I thought about posting pics here, but this is a public forum (and there's not even private sub-forums for registered members) and I don't want random people seeing me...especially in such a special moment.

I probably would have done a couple of things differently, if I could do it all over again, like some of the reception food and had a little more time for planning and additional pre-marital counseling sessions. But I'm very happy with how it turned out.

Cake pops or cupcakes are actually a great idea for me and Don, since we'll have a pretty small gathering. Would be nice to skip the bother of having to cut and serve a cake, too.

You could get chocolate and vanilla cake pops for you and Don, and when you bite into them put your arm around his like you would with champagne.
