Getting married in Vegas-

You really can get married anywhere you want, as long as you don't have a crowd. What place "speaks" to both of you? A cliff overlooking the Pacific? Pirates? A pretty garden? It's not hard and it doesn't have to cost money.

Not nervous- on POTC no one would know.

Another voice here...If simple is the key and different is the view...you guys do realize that to be legally married in Cali it takes a simple yes from each party to a simple question of do you take this person to be your spouse. All the extra words are to make the ceremony longer for the guests. My brother is licesnsed to wed folks here in California so I double checked with him before posting to ask him if the PoTC idea would work and he said that Disney couldn't stop it if they tried if the two being married were comfortable with 'forgoing' a wordy ceremony and the person officiating was willing to forgo the wordy ceremony. The officiant has to ask each participant if they want to marry the other and has to have an official reply (I found out it doesn't even have to be verbal it can be in sign language how cool is that?) and he can declare them wed...as for the paperwork, the state requires 2 witnesses based on the seating in PoTC if the officiant sits in the front seat with the wedding couple, the row directly behind them can lean forward to hear the question and responses and legally swear to the union...it's a done deal and no 'bad show' for Disney to complain about.

That just gave me a fun idea.

Set up a huge lavish wedding in a church with all of the trimmings, processionals, etc. Then have the entire ceremony be just the requisite questions, then turn and have the big recessional.

No hugs necessary Nephy, I have been planning a wedding in the stretching room for someone near and dear and we researched the legality of the ceremony vs interfering with the show for Disney and it really is all about the trimmings making the difference.

You could have saved a lot of time on research just by watching Spaceballs.

Do you?
Yes
Do you?
yes
GOOD, you're married. Kiss her!
