This morning had a meeting with a Vicar at his rectory at 11.30.

We have been doing some research into venues to get married, and palces for the reception that are close to family and transport for friends from afar (like you lot who are still invited to the shin-dig/knees-up etc)

Well, we have found a nice old place for the reception, and had found a church that was well out of our area, so had to go see the vicar for permission to marry us. ( I have been married before, and CofE frowns upon this most the time and you need to meet criteria to marry out of parish)

After a long chat, which got quite deep in places, he agreed to marry us at his church >here< in a nice part of rural Kent.

The church is awesome, not too big, very nice inside, fantastic stained glass, nice grounds, and a good green out the front.

Serena can have her Church wedding, and i am fookin chuffed.

Hope all you had a day with as much awesome and win as me.

    I got married at the local registry office without telling my family or my wife's family. When it was done we went to the bowling alley where we met and then phoned everyone we knew an told them what we'd done. 3 hours later I was so drunk I couldn't stand up.

    Job done.

    Reckon it saved abou £10,000, achieved the same end result and didn't involve a sniff of religion. Perfect.
  • Did that 1st time round. Not again!!!

    I did just about the same thing, no fancy wedding or anything. Just went registry with the most important people from our families, and then had a massive special lunch out. Afternoon was at our house with the family, the men enjoying too many beers and being happy, the women doing something, don't remember.

    Was a good day, and saved thousands of bucks, which went into important things, like t.v.s, new xboxs and a bike for me :)
