MarriedERA, where did you get married?
- Thread starter Baphomet
- Start date
City Hall in a historic city in our state. Very private event with only a handful of attendees. The following day we put in a 30 minute scripted stageshow at a club for our reception.

I got married in a church in Alaska. Married 4 years ago.
Had a second "wedding" in Wisconsin so my family could see us too.

Courthouse marriage, so we got our certificate, had our friends sign and officiate, and then brought it back to the courthouse. I think it cost about $45 or something, can't remember.
I know this sounds cheesy as hell, but for me marriage didn't change anything at all. We had been living together for a bit and I already thought of him as my better half. We referred to each other as husband/wife way before it happened. The only reason we got married legally was because we were having kids together and figured it'd be easier to deal with health insurance and stuff like that if we were legally married. I didn't change my name or anything.

Having a wedding in/around LA where we were living at the time turned out to be more expensive than we were planning for. So we got married in Ireland on the Cliffs of Moher with a few family members and close friends for cheaper. Ended up spending the same amount on the wedding and honeymoon touring the UK for cheaper than we would have spent in the states.
I'm currently engaged, but my fiancee has wanted to get married on her great grandpa's property about 3 hours north of us. There's a white gazebo where her mom got married, and that's what my fiancee has wanted to be married in since she was a little girl. I'm happy with giving her the wedding in a place she's been dreaming of.
At Piha beach in Auckland, NZ. Just had around 40 guests. It was relaxed and wonderful.
It's funny, I was stressing about it quite a bit until my wife turned up. I was worried about 'getting married' but when I saw her I realised I was getting married to her, my best friend, and it was so easy.

This really is the way it should be. That's the way it was for us too. Anyone going in thinking things are going to change are probably going to end up being disappointed.
A cheap ass hall connected to a bar VFW bar. We didn't think it needed to be some fancy event, we also didn't want to be in any debt because of it
This is me and my husband exactly! I didn't want a big wedding (or really any wedding), so covid was an awful blessing in disguise. We'd been living together for over a year and I was quitting my job and needed to get on his insurance (and we're about to start fertility treatments) so we just went to the courthouse with my sister and his best friend as witnesses. No one else was in the courtroom due to covid, so we had a "private" ceremony with the magistrate for $50. Couldn't be happier and it's going to be a trip showing our kids photos of us all masked up while getting married, heh. Haven't changed my name either.
Good luck! I'm 6 months pregnant thanks to fertility treatments, so I hope your fertility journey is short and sweet.
Courthouse on this one. For three years it was hard to convince my wife to even get rings because each time she preferred to spend the money on travel. Getting the rings later was actually better as we had a lot more stories to write into them so they have a lot more meaning.
First one was courthouse as well with a 100 person ceremony in a hall about a year later.

Vegas, on the strip, in the Chapel of the West
We had a lovely time, but my now ex-wife complained a lot towards the end about not having a grander affair, and started assigning a lot of meaning to the fact that we didn't.

Used the church there for the wedding and the reception was just down the hall in one of their rooms. Got a round of golf in the morning of.
Rented a hall on the grounds of my wife's alma mater (anyone can rent it, but being an alumnus gave us a discount). Part of the motivation was the building itself was quite nice and required minimal decoration, and their "minimum spend" was low compared to other venues. It also has a great view, with lots of windows and a balcony to enjoy it. They had a separate room we used for the ceremony, so guests just had to go upstairs for the reception. We spent some money (about 20k CAD), but felt it was pretty good bang for the buck. Our motivation for spending at all was that we wanted to put on a nice party for our friends and family. We also covered some expenses for our wedding party to avoid them being out a bunch of money just to stand up there with us in matching clothes.
No regrets, it was fun. Basically had the type of wedding we'd want to attend. Had some mental notes from unfun or underwhelming weddings we'd been to before. Like 100% dry weddings and weddings where they're so disorganized that guests are running around doing chores for the bride and groom.

A local city owned pavilion. It was large enough where we had the ceremony and reception all in one.
Poinsett Club in SC
Imagine an absolutely ridiculous millionaires house from the late 1800s or early 1900s and you'll be spot on.
None of these are from our wedding, but it's a look at it inside. You can have the main reception room set up any way you want, It's a massive room. It's in a house originally built in 1904. Having a hard time finding the wedding ceremony section though (outside of tiny picture), it's a separate part of the house with a large stairway the bride/party walks down into a room from.
It's neat how they can change the tone and lighting. The details list of how you want things was insane.

This isn't really my "style", but membership runs in my wife's family, so we got into the venue that way. Wife's best friend is also a wedding planner whose gift was doing so for us for free, just had to pay for the food/drinks/decorations basically.
Where are the pics at? (generic at least)

A farm that operates as a tennis club. We wanted to keep it small and on the cheaper side to focus on paying for the honeymoon, and a friend who got married at the same place had high praise for their wedding planner who was included in the cost.
It turned out wonderfully, and all the money we saved or received as gifts paid everything back or went towards the honeymoon.
