I am behind my time but as a single man the word marriage scared me.

I guess getting married while bungeeing off the top of the Chrysler building is totally out of the question. For a small wedding you could probably have the ceremony anywhere. It sounds like you want to keep things small and inexpensive. The Museum of Natural History, the observation deck of the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty and so on. It's a bit cheesy, but how about the boardwalk at Atlantic City or Coney Island, can you imagine a fireblower and all the sideshow folks at your ceremony? It would certainly be different. If you have your heart set on being a bit more traditional but intimate, there are arboretums, botanical gardens, zoological gardens, B&Bs, Inns and the local beach. If you want to be more upscale you could always go to the some place like the Winterthur Estate, info can be found at http://www.winterthurweddings.com. If none of that appeals to you, how about a ceremony in the back of a Hansom cab. Most of the unusual wedding ceremonies are pretty played (Yankees Stadium, Shea Stadium, Giants Stadium, Citizens Bank Park, jumping out of an airplane, naked, underwater, whatever). Whatever choice you make, I'm sure it will be the right one.

lol i have my drive through in vegas but it might be not that romantic specially for a first wedding...

on the other side, it's quite cost effective and require almost no organisation

Haha we did that too!!!!

I vote Florida too, or somewhere in Colorado like Breckenridge or Aspen. The resorts are great in the summer - so beautiful - and there is tons of great hiking, restaurants, and hotels. You could probably organise just yourselves and an officiant on one of the mountains outside - and you could just ride up on the gondola.

And rightly so. It sure scared the ####### outta me.

Just thought I'd add my .02

We're talking about getting hitched at a park. It's really small and smack dab in the middle of downtown Lexington, but it's got a couple of really gorgeous fountains and is right across the street from a nice hotel. We'd get the honeymoon suite for a couple days, that way I have a place to get ready the day of, then all I'll have to do is walk across the street to meet Chris and the minister in the park. Probably won't have any family there, jsut a couple of friends to take pictures and help out with things.

We'll prob'ly be doing the same thing - a larger reception/ceremony/whatever for family and friends once things are more settled. I think it's a good idea - takes a lot of pressure off.
