Melissa and I decided over the weekend we're going to get married in Rome. Just a little ceremony. Since neither of us wear jewelry (except I wear a watch for practical purposes, and a necklace, pretty much out of habit) we've decided to buy a couple of inexpensive jobbies while in Rome, which we'll maybe display in some sort of wedding memory display box or something when we're back home. We're tentatively slating this for sometime in 2007.
I love being non-traditional.

just kidding. congrats! i've never been to rome, but i'm sure they know how to throw some kick-ass wedding receptions. when in rome....
Oh, we won't be doing a reception in Rome, just a small wedding ceremony. Any reception we do would be back in the States, but right now we have no reception plans.

Non-traditional weddings are great, we got married on the beach and loved it!

She must REALLY love you.
Seriously, congrats........!
Heh.
Posted by: Joshua at July 26, 2006 02:39 AMWow. Good for you. Let me know how that whole being married thing works out. I've thought about maybe doing it someday, you know, if I get bored.
Posted by: Rick at July 26, 2006 08:06 AMRick, believe me, you have to be REAL bored.

Posted by: Joseph at July 26, 2006 10:44 PMNon-traditional is good!
We didn't go that far with rings, because she can wear them but just didn't much, and I was willing to give it a try and managed to get used to it. But I totally understand the impulse to take your approach.
Cheap is good too. Ours weren't especially, but they're very simple white gold bands. We bought them at a mall jewelry store in Fresno at the last minute. Though not as last minute as buying them in Vegas itself.
A guy I used to work with got married in Rome. Must be more popular than I'd have expected.
