Random Poll: Where did you get married?

papie

In Montreal, where we live now and where H's family is.  But it was in my church, where I was baptized and my parents were married.  In my hometown (2 hours away), there was no greek orthodox church, so we always celebrated those here.

Not close to either. We got married in the town where we live. Specifically, at the horse farm of a friend of ours near the mountains.

On a beach on Cape Cod.It was my H's vacation spot for many years during his youth and was owned by someone in the family.

Right here:

NC, where DH and I live, and his hometown.  In hindsight, I should've just packed it all up and got married back home in WA state - least there, we would not have been blown off like around here. 

Good thing I did not spring for a catered meal, or I would have been really pissed.

Orlando- close to no one

A church in our city.  BIL was the youth minister at the time.

Our immediate families live close to one another. I got married in my church that a grew up in and that my mom and dad got married in. It was a t 10 - 15 minutes drive for H's family and 20 - 25 minutes for mine.

That's picture of the actual church.  We were married in Avon, CT and had our reception in Simsbury, CT.

We still live in the same major area where we grew up, so close to both of our parents. Our extended families traveled though.

At the church we attend about 15 minutes from our hometown. All of our family lives within an hour, except for FI's brother who lives in San Diego.

Ceremony at a church in Minneapolis (Diamond Lake Lutheran) chosen because it was cute.  Shallow but true.

Reception at a really cool museum (Mill City) because it was funky and different.

eta:  It was close to my immediate family but DH's immediate & extended family and my extended family had to travel.

The city where my H and I currently live and near the college we meet at the church we currently attend.  His family had to come in from 8 hours away, mine almost 2 and half.  Figured the both had to drive a bit and most people made it a weekend destination b/c of the amazing zoo in town for kids that all my relatives have a shitton

We are from the same small town and both of our families live there so that's where we got married.

If I could do it over, I would get married here instead. Trying to plan a wedding in Hicktown USA was a pita.

Here in San Diego.

My H's parents (who didn't come - yay organized religion!) live about an hour and a half away. My parents live in AZ and my sister(s at the time) live in CO.

QueenofAnything

At a country club that my brother's hockey coach owned that happened to be in H's hometown, but was 3 hours away from us and our friends.

My mother insisted we get married there and then b!tched after we booked it when she realized that the ILs lived less than 5 minutes away. Nevermind the fact that it was centrally located for my mother's family and most of H's fam came in from way out of state.

We should have eloped.

About 30 minutes from mine and ex-H's hometown. We married in a state park and it was beautiful.

Bellagio in Vegas

ETA:  Not super far, but everyone had to travel.  Which was the point (we wanted it really small).

At the same church where my baby was just baptized on easter and my father's memorial service was in march.  After moving around so much it is nice to have a sense of place.

scottydont

Catholic church in my hometown to appease what would have been otherwise hysterical parents. 

If I could do it again, I'd do a garden wedding.

ErinExpat

In TX, at his father's church, and the one DH grew up in. My family flew in.

Ceremony was at the church I grew up at which is 1/4 mile from my parents house, then 2 miles down the road we had the reception overlooking the town lake.
