I was having having a conversation with my other half about how we would get married, when we decide to do so, and I wondered what others had done? I suppose I am from a fairly traditional upbringing, whatever that means these days, and suggested that I would want family and friends there as I got married in a church. This idea appaulled her and she responded with:

Save money from the cost of my idea of a wedding so that we can get married at the Nurburgring. First of all this money would be used to get an amazing car (suggestions on a postcard). Her suggestion was we have two witnesses in the car with us while we go round the track and actually get married while lapping. We then spend the following week driving in the new car. Then head to California to go skiing for a week, then the following week sunning ourselves on the beach there.

This sounds awesome, and I would love it, but feel that if I were to agree she would come to regret it. Also I feel that some of my friends and family would feel very left out by this.

So... Any interesting stories to tell, and more importantly am I onto a winner?

just how much were you thinking of spending on the wedding, that would give you enough to buy an 'amazing' car ?
Sell my car then with combined cash buy something as indecent as possible, no?

ETA: A little bit dark JAYB?
