[QUOTE]Originally posted by Aban Rune: [QB] Lee, you're smashing because you think like me. And who wouldn't want that? The wedding will likely be in the winter. I know it will make it harder, but I don't care. I'm not going to drag the engagement out for 8 months so we can get married in the Spring. We'll be getting married in either her congregation's Kingdom Hall, or mine. Photos will be somewhere around there, likely, and will be done before the ceremony. I'm NOT waiting around afterwards. Parental involvement, I promise you, will be nill. I will ensure this by doing the following: discussing everything with her and making our plans before any details are revealed to anyone. We will then hand them a list and say, "This is what needs to be done. You may help, or not." The next time I see her mother, firm instructions will be given not to buy/speculate about/make plans for/discuss anything involving the wedding until she receives said list. I am saving the nuclear option and will likewise discuss with my bride when deployment is appropriate. I have no desire to have a large number of people attend. My rule of thumb is, "Those who showed an interest in me while I was single are welcome to celebrate my wedding with me. Those who ignored me, shall be likewise ignored." So I'm trying to find a balance between needlessly offending people and compromising what we want. The balance falls right about at the place where those people start costing me money that I could be using to buy naughty lingerie. Outfits: She wants a wedding dress, which is fine, as she's a quite sensible shopper. I will be wearing, like Lee, a new black suit. I despise rental tuxes and would sooner go nude than rent one. I'll get a great new dress shirt and vest to go with it and that will be that. The invitation: Right now I'm thinking I'd like to do a movie poster. I had originally wanted to do it fully illustrated, like a Struzan poster, but I think it will take too long. So I'm leaning towards photographic with cool Photoshop manipulation. It will have a title and list myself and my bride as the stars. All the small info at the bottom where the director, studio, stars, etc. are listed will be the actual wedding information. We can ship it in postal tubes with a matching label. RSVP cards and envelopes will be tucked neatly inside. No one will ever throw them out. Oh... and as an added touch of wicked coolness... I'm going to burn copies of the wedding's "soundtrack" with a cover that matches the poster and have them available for select reception attendees. [/QB][/QUOTE]
