Your Dream Wedding

[( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]

What's your vision?
Mine would be to connect with an inner city ministry and ask a church to allow us to use their sanctuary and fellowship hall. Then I would invite all the poor, crippled, lame, and blind people that would come and throw a banquet for them as I get married. The way I see it, that's what scripture lays down for me to do (Luke 14:13) We'd have the rest of our lives to meet at in-laws and friends' homes. I wouldn't necessarily tell people they couldn't come, but the thrust would definitely be toward the disadvantaged.

I get wedded to a girl with a pulse. There will also be cake. Lots and LOTS of cake.

My dream wedding would be completely God-oriented.
The groom would need to be in love with God more than with me.
I would keep things as simple as possible. I don't like dismantling any part of the church setting, to make it fit a wedding theme. It's the job of the wedding to fit into the "sanctuary of the Lord" theme, not the other way around.
In fact, I would love to have a full-on church service, with a choir singing songs about our heavenly Bridegroom's soon coming, and our hunger for Him. And then at least 45 minutes of a good down-to-earth sermon on marriage.
The ceremony would be simple, with only a few attendants, at the end of the service.
Maybe a lightweight arch carried to the front, covered in tulle, tiny white flowers, and little clear lights. And then the wedding procession. No more than 2 bridesmaids. And I would like to have them carrying lit oil lamps, if possible.


And a camping/fishing honeymoon, somewhere in Alaska or Appalachia.

I want a little cabin in the woods with our closest friends and family. I imagine a place like the forest in Meow Wolf (pictured) with mismatched tables, tablecloths, and place settings. I picture a close feeling and the people we love all sharing a meal and some laughs together.

I love this thread.

Okay I won't go mega crazy with photos, I'll take my time. For now I'll just tell how I'd want my wedding...

Over the years I went from wanting a big wedding to having just a small wedding ceremony and a big reception. I've always felt like if you have a smaller wedding you could spend more on the reception and honeymoon! I think an intimate personal wedding, even just a justice of the peace would be okay. I've gotten to the point where it's kind of like... Okay look, it's just me, my hubby and God, that's all that should matter at the wedding. I would want my mom to be there as well.

But the total girl inside of me atleast wants a church wedding, with wedding colors, and flowers, and and and a beautiful reception and awesome food.

You're setting yourself up for a very long and painful night in a stock slasher film that way, Miss Peachie. I'm afraid this is one wedding occasion that would not end happily.

Aaaaaaand perhaps a groom somewhere in all of that, I would assume, Jennie.

 

[LadyOfMystery]

Ok! So I'm sort of leaning toward blue and yellow for wedding colors...

 

[LadyOfMystery]

I think blue and silver would be good colors too, or burgundy and silver.

I love the sunflower theme,my fave flower

 

[Gnarwhal]

I've done the wedding shtick, so if it were up to me I'd have as few people there as possible (family and a few close friends) but it'd be an Extraordinary Form Mass.

Like so:

 

[PeachieKeen]

So do we just pair up with whoever has a matching wedding with us on the forum? That's what I call speed dating!

After I win the one billion dollar lottery me and Kate Bekenshire will be getting married in the middle of London and we will have a horse drawn wagon with the world's largest chocolate cake and we are going to walk all over London serving all the people who come out to the curb to see us and we will give them a slice to eat and one to have so the can have their cake and eat it too.
Then we will both get in our private plain and go to a private island and we will be left alone for a year.

I just googled that name to see who the girl was and literally this photo came up:

Yep, that's her, love older women, they drive me wild.

I get wedded to a girl with a pulse.

I hope that's not a hard requirement for anyone because I have a very weak pulse and very weak heartbeat!

Unless you're quite good at checking pulse, you might think my heart is no longer beating! I'm thin so it should be easy to check my pulse. I'm perfectly healthy and has very good stamina despite the unusual condition.

That's basically where I stand as well. I'm not interested in a big ceremony (or even a small ceremony), and I just don't feel that it's worth the bother - the wedding proceedings are far less important than the life you're going to make together, so I'd rather focus on that.

And it does seem that sometimes elaborate weddings come across as a show that is being put on for other people and less for the benefit of the bride and groom. That's not meant to criticise anyone here who wants an elaborate wedding, but it's not really my thing. Although being the groom might mean that I have little say in the matter...

 

[S.O.J.I.A.]

at the church, family and friends there, marriage sermon, singing of psalms(psalms 45, 127, 128, 46, 136), a big meal afterward.

a nice suit for the man and a lovely dress for the lady. marriage vows, christening of the bride with a kiss.

the most important part of marriage is what happens long after the wedding ceremony so I try to balance simplicity with ceremonialism suitable for the occasion.

Mine too!

@Fenwick I really think that is beautiful. It actually made me have chills as soon as I saw the photo. I just love how everything, and everyone is set up. The building structure adds a whole appeal as well. Very lovely.

So do we just pair up with whoever has a matching wedding with us on the forum? That's what I call speed dating!

Loveee the placings at that table and the plates design and cups. I can't think of the word for the theme... What kind of theme would that be? It almost looks like English tea time or something. Very nice.

I really like that dress, especially the top, the sleeves, and how the front is cut.

Yup, agreed! I think for me, it's a contract you're doing with God, you are making a commitment to God and your husband/wife. That's what makes it a ceremony, and I feel like people just think it's partay time and they can't wait to get to the reception. I want my ceremony to be meaningful and not overdone.

But now the reception. I don't want it to be a complete opposite of what we just did, like one minute we're all praising God and getting married and the next we're in the reception hall acting like fools. I want the reception to be fun, but not that kind of fun. I really want it a gathering of friends and family and just good times before we (me and whomever Im marrying lol) leave.

I have seriously considered having a reception at a whole different time and make it two separate events. Like after the honeymoon and everything.

 

[Miss Spaulding]

The older I get the more I really don't want a wedding ceremony, big or small. Courthouse for me would do fine. I'd much rather spend money on a nice celebration of our coming together in marriage at some unique place and of course the honeymoon.
