No matter how close knit your social circle is it seems it’s always doomed when everyone trails off into their own private family. Every one of my friends has had a unique and interesting wedding.
By contrast all of my ex’s friends had a traditional church wedding.
Our wedding was a compromise. In fact we had two. We had a skydiving wedding for me and a church wedding for Kim and her family.

Ben’s first wedding was an incredibly expensive affair at The Top of the Sevens in Clayton. Our friend Bill and I compiled the music. Matt photographed the event but lost it all because of equipment malfunctions. He said it was the worst thing that ever happened in his career.
Fojammi’s was at Graham Chapel at

I’d really appreciate any memories anyone has of weddings in the comments section. I’m sure a lot more will occur to me. Divorces might be interesting as well.

Dude- you forgot MY wedding(s)!
i was going to ask if dom had ever been married. when i got married we did it in the back yard; i had a friend who played guitar for that big Elvis impersonater in st. louis(cant remember his name) who was also a d.j. do the music. being an avowed pagan, i had done a ceremony with Mary years earlier on a cliff overlooking the Big River, but we had to make it legal so we did the whole liscense and preacher bit. we had 2 people perform the ceremony, one was a pagan priest, but Mary's best friend at the time insisted on having some lady preacher there too, it was kind of strange, but it all worked out.my cousin did the photos and did something goofy with the film(backrolled it?),so it all came out with yellow lines all over the pictures. we had the reception at the house too, i was living in St. John's then on the corner of Midland and Brown road. we heard a big bang out on the road and it turned out someone had hit a friend of mine's car that was there and took off.we went to Santa Fe for a week for our honeymoon. the wedding and reception cost about $800 and the honeymoon cost about $3000.that was when i still used credit cards.we had it paid off just about the time we got divorced 5 years later;figures.
