Gawdzilla and I got married in a park. He was wearing white overalls and a red plaid shirt. I was wearing a lilac gingham blouse and a denim skirt. It was hillbilly formal.
It's your wedding, do what the hell you want.
That sounds sweet, and to be honest, it's what I really wanted to tell my mother. Not that I'm planning on getting married soon or anything, but still. It annoyed me that she assumed you can't have a "big" wedding if you don't do it in a church.

The second time I actually paid a little extra to have the justice come out to my home and perform the ceremony in our living room. Then I gorged myself on ribs. In fact, I couldn't wait for the ceremony to be over, because the smell of the ribs had drifted from the kitchen to the fireplace where we were standing. Had I not been through the whole deal before, I assure you I wouldn't even know what was said. I love ribs.
This made me laugh
I love ribs, too 
I suppose it's just a smaller affair if you go to your city hall, or whatever, right?
