Over the weekend I learned that you can still get down to Vanilla Ice

Over the weekend my neighbors held a backyard wedding for a friend of theirs. They’ve been planning it for months and have been decorating since last Monday. What’s my part in this you ask? Just simply managing traffic and covering up my basketball hoop to prevent it from sticking out like a sore thumb in photographs. It’s the good neighbor sorta

i dont think a wedding in a decent size backyard is shitty :)

I totally agree.

My grandparents were married just before WWII. My grandpa wore his army uniform and my grandma wore her Sunday dress and she looked so beautiful. William and I got married in a courtroom with a preacher I'm actually friends with, haha. We'll have a ceremony later on, but even then I don't want anything huge, either. He keeps bugging me about a ring, but I really don't even wear them ...

You and my elle (above poster) are probably the only two chicas on LJ that I felt wouldn't care that much. Notice how only the two of you replied haha. Everyone else is probably going "that basic is crazy, no wonder he's single!"

I would prefer a simple wedding to an extravagant one. While my friends want to get away from family and having a wedding in some tropical place like Hawaii... I can't imagine how more wonderful it would be to just have it at home where I can have all my loved ones around me.

That Basic is crazy, no wonder he's single.

But seriously, I pretty much agree. Who needs to go bankrupt on extravagance? On the other hand, if you're of the type who CAN afford it, more power to ya!
