this is where we got married...its 2k to rent for 4hrs on a sat/sun...alot cheaper on a weekday...and that is also for the small reception area which will seat around 75...very nice place for the money

Fuck everyone else; I didn't tell a soul in my family when I got married. When they found out I heard a bunch of bitching and whining about how they should have been invited, but they just didn't get that the bitching and whining was part of the reason I did not want them there. Guess what? They got over it eventually. Do what you want; I suggest a trip to the JOP and then spend the cash on a nice vacation for you and her. I see no reason to spend that much money on a damn party.

Send invites for an October wedding, get married now, have a bash in October after you tell them you've been married for a few months. Never let other people tell you how to live your life.... Errr I guess including me. lol

LMAO! Thanks for the idea

As long as you don't do it during the summer, my sister got married there and it sucked, don't get me wrong it was very beautiful but it sucked because it was so damn hot, eveyone was dying, we were in our tuxedos and the girls in long dresses and then my sister was late!

Hell no.. it would most likely be a "winter" wedding(beginning of the year) So everyone can freeze their asses off!

I've heard good and bad things about the botanical gardens, so I'm still on the lookout.. but it's a possibility.

Will do!

I'll look it up.

I just discovered the Avanti Fountain Place today- looks pretty cool...

hah! My sister got married there. You probably won't get out of Avanti for under $10k.

Thats where all my daughters will be getting married at, especially if Im flipping the bill. Ive been to quite a few weddings and this place rocked! I also went to a place on Marsh and Trinity mills in Carrollton, Capellas Court Gardens, this was nice too, offers either indoor or outdoor seeting for your nuptials.

You have no idea how badly I want to do that.. Another reason why we want to have a cheap wedding, I'd rather spend the money on other things(honeymoon, etc)

The thing is, I bought a $1200 dress(yes, very expensive for a damn dress that I'm only going to wear for an hour).. I want to wear it, but not to the JP(that'd look a little weird..)

No shit, im not doing that! They will get married where I say when I say! The two place I listed above are nice and they seem very affordable.

I just want to have the ceremony there(around $900)

I'd be fine having a big cookout afterwards at the house, as the "reception."

Im not sure how many people your having but cooking for 55 people sucks, I've done it twice in the last couple months. My sons 18th bday, 20lbs of fajitas and 15 ilbd of chicken, 50 burgers and 50 hot dogs, just enough food too. His grad party had another 55, same amount. If over 50, cater it.

It's not in DFW, but the Chapel Dulcinea in Austin was my first choice for a Mainland wedding. It's gorgeous and it's free. They ask for a $100 refundable deposit to secure your date. https://wizardacademy.org/scripts/op...a.asp?extra=22

True. Right now the list is between 60-70 people..
Come to think of it, we'd probably cater it.. but you get my drift.

Hell yeah! I'm checking that out..

Jeremy had Freebirds cater his, it was some good food too. Big Matt and I were impressed and by impressed, we were chowing down. It seemed that there was about a 100 people there.
