not getting married in a church. my wedding day will be a glorious celebration of love with nothing to do with religious love. that's cool for others, but we dont want to enter something this serious lying to a priest/preacher, our family/fiends, or each other.

This. Religious weddings make me want to vomit. No thanks!

Not gonna happen any time soon by any means.

Also most people say I now look around 21. I'll take that as a win. Looked consistently four years younger than I am for about 6 years, now I'm back to about two years. Minor victories.

I had like 2 glasses of wine prior to the ceremony (in the entire day) so I was sober and I remained that way (it was hot, so I drank a lot of water and I was busy dancing/greeting people/kissing/smiling so I drank a few glasses of champagne but not enough to feel it).

I wasn't sober the night before, but I don't remember being hungover (my MOH was super hungover though)

Tough to stay drunk when you are sweating all of the alcohol out of your system within 90 seconds of drinking it. ;)

I'd like to get married in a church but I'm religious at all. I also don't have any want or need to be wedded with God or whatever the holy aspect of marriage is, I just like the church as a venue.

And I mean no disrespect, but if you came to me and told me that, I'd refuse. I can't, in good conscience, let you stand before the altar and just lie because you think the church is pretty. But I'd hope that people could respect that and would actually appreciate clergy taking what they do seriously.

That's what lying is for.

Congratulations!

By the way, mine was a Christian wedding at a private home. 1 pm wedding outside by the river followed immediately by indoor/outdoor lunch reception. No alcohol. Kids were happily welcome.

Dinner after party downtown primarily for out of town guests. After after party for all comers at the restaurant bar. After after after party for the survivors till 2 am at another bar downtown. Best day of my life.

i've seen guys get escorted down the aisle by their parents (after the groomsmen/bridesmaids have walked down the aisle in pairs)

The "proper" (as in making the most theological sense) way to do it is to have the couple process in together, as they are the ministers of the service. They are the ones marrying each other, the priest simply is there to witness and pronounce a blessing. It's amazing how much clergy have to fight Hollywood when it comes to planning the service.
 
Don't forget to also stone women who aren't virgins at their first marriage. Wives after marriage are subordinate to their husbands. No interfaith marriage. Those are my biblical literalisms I'll be following at my wedding anyway.

Also no 1 Corinthians 3, because that was about a fight in the church, not about marriage.

You mean 13, and I'd be down with that. I realize the first paragraph (of your post) applies to lots of folks, but I hope that my reputation around here isn't anywhere near "literalist."
 
Nah wasn't even ribbing you rev. Though I'd love to get into exegesis any time.
 
drank beers for a couple hours with friends and family on the corner at UVA before the wedding on a beautiful spring afternoon. Wasnt planned, it just kind of happene and more and more peeps showed up who were walking around taking in the sights before the wedding. It was glorious.

Would be a nice point if you weren't wrong. You're making the same mistake as Hollywood - not knowing what you're talking about.

Tv/movie weddings are based on the way things used to be, in a much more misogynistic culture. The Church (as in the suggestion I made) has advocated a newer understanding that jives better with culture and more "liberal" theology. But culture is the one hanging on to older and outdated traditions, not the church.

Nice try though.
