Suranis - You are partially correct about the wedding photo. That's Hubby's and my wedding photo. The man with the shotgun is Hubby's Dad who didn't want to hear anything about existential doubt from Hubby.

Elopement I think is the way to go. I've had this debate with persons in my universe. Why the need for an extravagant AND expensive pretentious wedding? The wedding doesn't make a marriage. It is a signed contract-- that is all.

We were married in 107°heat at Dabney Gardens on the CalTech campus. My dress cost $300 ( on sale at Bullocks); the venue free thanks to my (honorary) Uncle Dan Kevles. The most expensive part of our Taoist Companionating ceremony was the food which was perfect. I don’t regret a moment of that day.

But I would have been very happy to have been wed on a bridge, anywhere. 32 years and counting.

Wishing the newly weds a long and happy time together.

1. Yay, The Kid and now, The Kid's Wife. Live long and prosper.

2. I got a story, but I'll put it in a spoil because this thread is about them.

3. Anybody who loves dogs and cats has a head start on being a very good person in my book.

Ol' Wifehorn wanted to elope. I flatly refused. Nope. ENN OH.

I said, first of all, your father only had one daughter, and that's you. He has been waiting all these years (we married late) to walk you down the aisle and give you away, and I am not having any part of cheating him out of it. Absolutely not. Y'all have some idea, I really adored my father-in-law even before we were married. But it was a different time, and it would have hurt him to miss the wedding.

But second of all, I gotta tell you, my mom has been carrying that damned wedding ring everywhere she and my dad ever lived, and putting it in safety deposit boxes in I don't even know how many different banks for forty freakin' years since my great-grandmother left it to me when I was a year old. Remember the ring, I finally called her on the phone when I was 41 and said, "Hay Momma, you still got that old thing?" (My great-grandma got married with the ring in 1898.)

And if she finds out that 1) I got married with that ring and 2) she wasn't there to see it with her own personal eyebones, she will never forgive you as long as she lives. She'll forgive me, I'm her oldest son, but she will NEVER EVER EVER EVER forgive you.

My next marriage, I might be able to elope.

Cool story, bro. I would have guessed you for the elope type-- given how you graduated from HS, got in your VW bus with a lot of weed, abandoned your fam, and took off to California.
