I think it's a choice that each person has to make on their own. Planning the wedding and registering with my soon-to-be husband was awesome. It was a fantastic experience that I will never forget. </p> I’m getting married next weekend and am very excited to be having a big wedding with the dress and the 200 people.

I got married a year ago and did the elopement thing. It was great. </p><br /><br /><p>I love your line about "no relationships were harmed...." I guess I've been in/been to too many weddings where all I heard about for weeks prior is someone's WORLD-ENDING transgression and slight. </p><br /><br /><p>And the most fun part is, that I didn't have showers and big fat wedding (totally my choice) and didn't inflict mandatory gift giving on everybody. However, I am still invited and expected to give the gifts and showers to others who continue to participate in this obsolete tradition. </p> Oh Fish, I don’t know you but I like you.

I love your line about “no relationships were harmed….” I guess I’ve been in/been to too many weddings where all I heard about for weeks prior is someone’s WORLD-ENDING transgression and slight.

And the most fun part is, that I didn’t have showers and big fat wedding (totally my choice) and didn’t inflict mandatory gift giving on everybody. However, I am still invited and expected to give the gifts and showers to others who continue to participate in this obsolete tradition.

Perhaps it was in the stars or ill-planned. When we got to NOLA from NYC on a Friday we arrived too late to get the blood test. This was before Jazzfest. Lesson? Not during Jazzfest or late on Friday when the judge leaves early. Now - I just finished a gig as wedding singer for a beautiful bride (her 3rd his 2nd) outside the lovely couples home in front of a 250 y.o. elm tree. Somehow they managed to capture the 3 major religions (Hindu, Jewish, Christian) with a minister named Latifah officiating. Just me and the Celtic harpist as accompaniment. Sure there was some 'Disco Inferno' the next day but that marriage ceremony even for a heretic like me, was magical.</p> I tried eloping (a trip to NOLA) with my former and it failed (marriage too – oh yeah, I said former).

I thought I was the only one who thought all the stress and angst that comes with planning some massive wedding is ridiculous! =) Eloping is much more desirable... <br /><br />One note on breadmakers.... If they are so great, why does everyone I know who ever bought one try to give it away to me? No, it will not turn me into Suzy Q. Homemaker! LOL<br /><br />Nicole</p> I so totally agree!
