If you have written about it before, I don't remember. That is very interesting about Adult Children Living together and the Parents don't pay for the Wedding. I had not heard that before, and I used to marry people....(I can legally do that here in California...) And in all the almost 40 Weddings I have done that was not something that was ever discussed....<BR/>I think it is quite nazing they want three weddings! I've heard of two, but three? WOW! They better save quite a lot of money....lol!OldLady Of The Hillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02458879772193114892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16041225.post-30555596925025826732008-09-12T06:21:00.000-05:002008-09-12T06:21:00.000-05:00I checked with Aestus and he said that the one yea...I checked with Aestus and he said that the one year + 1 day ceremony is like an engagement period where you're supposed to live together. At the end of that, you're "supposed" to get married, which is another ceremony altogether. They did both although he said it was a bit longer than a year between the 2 ceremonies.Cycling Goddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15365817168224699607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16041225.post-29873044672052818392008-09-12T00:52:00.001-05:002008-09-12T00:52:00.001-05:00Jammie,~~You got that right.Jammie,<BR/>~~You got that right.geewitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11590044820333720010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16041225.post-9754045537139327662008-09-12T00:52:00.000-05:002008-09-12T00:52:00.000-05:00Jazz,~~You are wise beyond your years.Urban,~~My d...Jazz,<BR/>~~You are wise beyond your years.<BR/><BR/>Urban,<BR/>~~My daughter said a handfasting is a commitment for a year and then you keep doing them every year.<BR/><BR/>Scarlet,<BR/>~~I doubt the non-traditional ceremonies they want to do at other dates will be costly.

My Dad and step-mom were there for the wedding and wanted to go to Universal Studios and took the newlyweds with them.

Quick, simple and inexpensive. I even told her that I'd sign the register as a witness for free. With the money they'd save they could spend the summer in Europe as a honeymoon. ;o)Big Brotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309464919532916689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16041225.post-65665786724380858762008-09-10T17:02:00.000-05:002008-09-10T17:02:00.000-05:00Jazz,~~Ha ha - everything's cuter from a distance....Jazz,<BR/>~~Ha ha - everything's cuter from a distance.<BR/><BR/>Urban,<BR/>~~Is his favorite part that it's for only a year?<BR/><BR/>Carole,<BR/>~~Who knows about the vows.
