I have watched many friends get married.
Fourth of July get-together?
Grandparents 90th birthday party?
Any time people are already planning to converge is perfect.
This means your anniversary will wind up near an existing holiday: Great!
Easy to remember and even easier to celebrate.
(If it has none of those things, maybe you should move.)
As expected, it worked out.
Your closest family members will be there, along with any close friends who are in town.
Plus, we live in the modern age: take advantage.
And hey,spending less on your wedding means youre less likely to get divorced.
Professional officiants are used to being booked months in advance so dont even try.
Instead, tap your most charismatic friend to be your officiant.
There aremany online servicesthat will allow them to become a minister in an Internet-based church within a week.
(Did I mention that before?)
Anthropologie has a whole online storededicated to wedding wear.
As for jewelry, something borrowed has never been so crucial.
Just dont
Bridesmaids and groomsmen: Fuck that.
The origins of the wedding party aregrotesque.
As for decorations, tap your craftiest friend or relative to take care of it.
Part of the ethos of the three week wedding is to accept any help offered.
You do not need 1,000 photos from your BIG DAY and you do not need a wedding day video.
Its more like planning a small dinner party than an awards ceremony.
Peoples expectations are low because you planned this in such a short amount of time.
You dont have hundreds of people attending that make everything complicated and expensive.
So if youre not married already, hey consider this.
And if you take my advice, dont worry, I definitely dont expect a thank you.
The last bonus of the three week wedding: no gift registry and thus no thank you notes.
