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?
What a great idea yes you're onto a winner.Maybe get the car driven round by a pro to make things abit more exciting would be quite entertaing seeing a preist trying to read out vows at high g force's

I'd suggest the ring taxi but thats abit less special plus it has a huge waiting list.

One of the buffet stewards on my train had the best wedding ever.

He's 60+, had a civil partnership ceremony with his 27 year old Romanian boyfriend he calls chicken.

License was about 50 notes, 2 witnesses, one of the other stewards supplied 4 roses from Asda, and they went to the local Wetherspoons for their reception.

Now THAT is class!!

I wouldn't say class, but all they require.

Some people like to show off, some people like a little family get together, and some people think it isn't anything to do with the service just the commitment.

My Missus is African, so we booked a small lodge on the beach in SA, got 30 of our closets family and friends over for a week and a half, safari, general holidaying, then beach wedding with Zulu drummers, Barbie, Marimba players, drinking.
Worked out so much cheaper than doing it here.

If so, get married. Then divorced.

But you won't be able to afford the sock.
And they tears wont just be tears of sorrow - they will be tears of pain from being royally rodgered by a cold heartless bh!!

Decided on a Monday, registry office on the Thursday with a few family....shopping for rings (retrospectively) on 5th Ave. New York on the Sat.

Wouldnt ever use a church as I don't believe in God. Nothing more nauseating than people lying in front of a vicar so they get to use a nice looking building.

We got married in a pretty little Austrian village in the middle of a 2 week skiing / boarding holiday. Just the 2 of us (+ 2 arranged witnesses), just the way we wanted it. I would do the exact same thing again if I could go back and do it again. It was perfect; no regrets whatsoever.

Nurburgring idea sounds ace! thumbup

Why get married in a church if you are not religious? It's always puzzled me that one.

We got married in a nice old building which is a registry office. £100 job done.

Didn't tell anyone, Grabbed two checkout womem from Sainsburys to be witnesses, and then went for a pie and a pint in the local pub. Saved about £15,000 which I spent buying an Aston Martin. It was the G/F (now wife's) idea. Sorted.
