    LOL.......My wife and I ran off to Vegas and got married just so we wouldn't have to deal with this type of thing. Had a reception here when we got back and flew out the next day on our honey-moon.

    Took us about 4 hrs in the travel agents office to plan the whole thing. Then we just told everybody what they were gonna do and moved on. Great fun was had by all!! We just celebrated our 17th anniversary in April.

    man, i wish Vegas was an option. looking back on this, i would have do that a million times over. The M-in-L has seriously been planning this wedding since my almost-wife's older sister was born and on top of that, the M-in-L lives to entertain people. Needless to say this thing has snowballed out of control more then once during the planning stages. Luckly for me, my bride has hopped on many a wedding hand-grenade in order to keep me as far removed from all of this planning as possible. I only care about 2 things and could really give a rats ass about what color scheme we should use or if we should do buffet table or food stations.

    We actually started planning our wedding, and after about 3 hours looking at invitations, I jokingly said "Vegas is already looking good." The wife to be looked at me and said "Let's do it."

    Hopped in the car, 10 hours later we were in Vegas.

    Just celebrated our 10 year anniversary this month.

    After being together with my then girlfriend for a while I mentioned that I'd marry her on the spot if she didn't want such a big wedding. Well, turns out she didn't want the big wedding. Three weeks and twelve hundred dollars later and it's done, with very little stress. Definitely the way to go.

    seriously guys, your not helping me out here. I feel like I'm watching MTV Cribs right now while living in a 1 bedroom- absolutly jellious!
