Ahhhh.... you see, you are making one of the most common errors. You 
have mistaken having a wedding for getting married.


"Having a Wedding" usually sucks on ice.
It's expensive, you never get it all right, there will always be an 
issue, someone won't be happy, and you're going to have to compromise.

"Getting Married" is all smiles and happiness. The wedding is just 
something that happens around the getting married part.

So to recap in terms I am sure we can all understand -

Married == r0x0r3z!!
Wedding == sux0r3z!!

dig?

(we, by the way, had a pretty cool wedding - highly non traditional. 
Breakfast tacos and tequila sunrises for the reception. It was good! 
Funky 'cat in the hat' style wedding cake that was all blue, yellow, 
green and pink - very fun and tasted wonderful)
