Where did you get married and where did you go on your honeymoon?

If you're not married just say where you'd like it to happen

My wife and I met when we lived in the Los Angeles area. She was originally from Cincinnati and has a huge family.

Even though neither of us were religious, we had a full Catholic ceremony in a church for the benefit of her parents and family. I wore a formal suit and she wore a full bridal outfit. It was the kind of thing she had always imagined, like the fairy tale wedding.

It was Oct. 3, 1996.

Her family threw a really fun reception afterwards at a nice venue with a lovely view.
They also provided the informal food, snacks and drinks. Someone was acting as DJ.

So there was lots of drinking and dancing. At one point, everyone including children and teens, joined in to do the Macarena.

Through a connection, one of her brothers gifted us a wedding suite in one of the best hotels in the city for our wedding night.

Afterwards, we flew to Boston for our honeymoon. I had never been to New England in the fall and it was on my bucket list.

Boston was fun. Then we toured Massachusetts and up through New Hampshire to Vermont. We nailed the fall colors at their peek.

We did all kinds of fun things. Our two week honeymoon was magical.

One thing we did was visit the Trapp Family home in Stowe, VT.
We parked and, when we walked up, there was a really large, gently sloping lawn in front of the house.
I had a video camera and said my wife should to the Julie Andrews thing from The Sound of Music.
Without hesitation, she took off running across the lawn. When she reached the center, she spun in circles with her arms outstretched and sang "The hills are alive with the sound of music" at the top of her lungs.
People all around turned to look. I started laughing so hard that I almost dropped the camera.

After our two week honeymoon, we few back to L. A.

On Nov 6, we had another wedding for my family and our friends at a gorgeous venue provided by one of her friends.

We wore our wedding outfits again. This time, my wife got to make an entrance down a curving staircase.

A nondenominational, lady minister friend of my wife's performed the ceremony. Our friends provided a truly gourmet, pot luck feast.
I bought a "paradise cake" from King's Hawaiian Bakery. And I hired a professional saxophonist for the afternoon.

Getting dressed up again and doing the second wedding was more stressful than we thought it would be. I joke that my wife made me marry her twice so that I would never want to get married again. She wanted to make sure that this one stuck. I'm kidding, of course. I was as involved in the plans as she was.

The two weddings were completely different and both turned out wonderfully. With the honeymoon in between, we have really fun memories.

That's what it's about, great times! That would be amazing catching the east coast at peak season. Did you go up Mt Washington in NH?

[Lliam]

@lightbulb27. No. We basically drove through NH to VT.

We got married in the church I've been going to since 2015. For our honeymoon, we went to San Francisco about two months later. Though it wasn't so much a honeymoon as it was a family vacation (my wife got pregnant about six weeks after the wedding).

We got married in Canada in a house ceremony. Very small and intimate.
We toured parts of Africa for our honeymoon and spent the last week in Mayotte Island.

We were married very romantically with a small ceremony outdoors by a river, then went to New Zealand for our honeymoon. It was perfect.

We got married in the church where my wife lived. We had the reception at her parents house and we went to New Hampshire for our honeymoon. we planned on going skiing but there really was no snow despite the fact it was January.

I would love to get married on Isle of Palms Beach which is near Charleston where my boyfriend lives. I would love for our honeymoon to be either in Hawaii or Paris.

Got married in my wife's hometown and honeymooned in the Bahamas.
