KYHillChick and I decided to elope. There were a lot of reasons, and one of the good ones was that her ex was still bitter and had pledged to make trouble. She'd met me while she was still married. We went to Jamaica, and booked at a resort that supposedly specialized in weddings.
The place was still recovering from a hurricane over a decade previous to our arrival. It wasn't much, but it was comfortable, and the staff was cool. When it came time for the wedding, I had the bell captain for the best man. KYHillChick had the old toothless Rasta lady that ran the gift shop for her maid of honor.
They all came out on the pier and we took our vows as the sun was setting. The staff then threw us a brief reception complete with a boombox for music. We'd told them nothing of our backstory, but I guess they guessed. Our first dance was to :
I used to have a recording studio. It wasn't much, but I used to pick up a little scratch here and there doing jobs the others wouldn't touch. Over the 5 years or so I was active with it, I used to get some pretty strange requests.
One of the odd ones was the lady that wanted me to remove the vocals from Stairway to Heaven for use as her wedding march. I found her an easy listening cover version(really icky) and she went away happy.
The other really odd request was this for a wedding recessional: [video:youtube]iM_e_h73ULc[/video]
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

Yep, That's the song that my wife walked down the aisle to when we got married.
second marriage for both of us and we told the minister that we were going to have fun with the ceremony.
my oldest son was my best man.............youngest son stood up with her. His name's Colin, we called him Coleen all night. He hated it, but a good time was had by all.
A year later my buddy asked when we were going to get married again. He said he's never had such a good time at a wedding.
