[quote=spdrun]Marriage has become a fucked up industry. People starting out and planning to have kids shouldn’t have social pressure to buy a piece of glassified carbon on credit.
It would be nice if more people said “fuck it all”, got married at city hall, and held a reception in their back yard.[/quote]
Funny story….the wife and I wanted to get married on the bluff in Encinitas. She went down to the city to buy a permit, but was told, “that is not a designated venue…your supposed to go to the spot just S of Moonlight beach” She mentioned that we really do not go to the beach there and would rather get married above the beach we go to about 300 yards north of there. Luckily…a nice person at city hall pulled her aside and told her, “just do it and stop telling everyone…nobody is going to break up your wedding”. I still need to get back and thank that whoever that was.
We ended up pulling it off. Got married on the bluff above the place I surf all the time before I head to the office. Her uncle got ordained to conduct the ceremony and we ended up having the reception in our backyard. I sometimes think her dad got kinda lucky, but I know I’m the one that really did.
