Caltrops - Biohazard: Code Veronica





	[quote name="Senor Barborito MetaFilter Post"]I know you said no Vegas, but I would like to urge you to give it a second thought - there are some really, really amazing and beautiful wedding chapels out there that will provide that somberly romantic wedding without being gauche or glitzy, just because there's a significant market for that. My wife and I paid $1250 for round-trip airfaire to and from Boston, two nights at the Hilton in a 23rd-floor suite larger than our apartment, and a limo ride to and from the Candlelight chapel, service included. The minister who married us carried off the whole thing with aplomb and dignity. I am not a man given to sentiment of any kind, and he made me tear up. We never gambled once, at all. We merely went there and had a perfect wedding. The only part of the experience that was the least bit imperfect was registering for marriage at 3AM in Vegas the night before when we first arrived - the waiting line was still two hours long and some of the people there were less than entirely sober. As an additional bonus, when we got back our families gave us $3000 in cash/checks for presents. Going to Vegas to elope gets a very bad rap, and I think undeservedly so. If you're careful about your money and about the wedding chapel you select ahead of time - they have some of the best available out there. posted by Ryvar at 11:05 AM PST on April 7 [/quote]
