Jami's Dream Weddings

Inspired by attending a wedding and this post by EDW, let me just say that I also need more weddings. I don't need more husbands, although in this post from almost a year ago, I discuss why I could use a few extra, without ditching the original. Along the lines of the Vegas wedding EDW mentioned, I wouldn't mind one on the Star Trek ride at the Las Vegas Hilton. I'm not that big of a geek, but it would be fun and they let you have the reception at Quark's bar where the drinks are both yummy and colorful. The last time we were there, we saw two couples tying the knot on the bridge of the Enterprise (separately, not at the same time). The first couple wore your basic wedding-garb, but the second couple sported their authentic-looking dress uniforms. I'd go for the dress ( I love a big fancy dress), but I'd let the wedding party wear unis if they want. There're also several other attractive and fun places in Sin City to throw a wedding, but that still seems like the most fun to me. Along the geekiness lines, the Husband and I half-jokingly discussed a Star Wars themed renewal of vows. I, of course, would be Princess Leia and he'd be my Han Solo. This would make my mom and dad Amidala and Vader, respectively, which would be worth the price of admission. My brother would make a fine Luke, although I'm not sure what costume M, my maid-of-honor would wear. The best man would obviously be Chewie, and fortunately the Husband's best friend is good and tall. I'd like another formal church wedding, because most of my friends now didn't know me when I got married. I rather enjoy being the center of attention, and I'd like to do it "right" again. After seeing several of my friends' wedding photos, I'd like a nice Hindu wedding. Now, I'm not Hindu, but I want the henna, the ornate wedding outfits, the wonderful traditions, the all-day party. I wouldn't even mind having it in India, which I'd like to visit someday, as long as we don't do it in the hot/rainy season. A friend of mine attended a wedding in India on a day it was over 100 degrees and the humidity was 85%. Too hot for dancing, IMO. I wouldn't mind a sunset beach wedding, followed by a bonfire on the beach. This would be a way less formal one, with a guitar player for music. I'd still like to get it catered, though, because I want to have a lovely table setting on the beach, and it's my wedding, after all. I recently learned that you can rent out the entire Pittsburgh Zoo for your event and this sounds like a good one, too. The aquarium would be a lovely setting for the ceremony, and how fun would that be? Who else has penguins at their wedding? I could probably come up with 15 or 20 more good ideas, but that'll do for now. Also, we wouldn't ak for or expect gifts, being that we've already got a house full of stuff, but I would insist on a bachelorette party. Aerie, you can throw mine, as long as you promise not to hire that same stripper.
