Men, like women, do whatever they damn well please. Though I think weddings are overrated in general and not for everyone. We skipped on the big bash and did a small court "wedding" with only the closest of people who were the most important to us as witnesses. We had a family gathering afterwards at a restaurant with other loved ones and this was enough for us. :love:
We took the money we saved and used it to move back to my hometown... our logic, we were pursuing the move for a better life and we can always make up for it later on. I'm particularly very family-oriented (that includes close friends for me), but it would've felt ridiculous for us to go into debt for a few days celebration when we could've used that expense to go after a long-term dream...
My husband though... he is the life of the party (a party full of geeks, but still)... he's also very romantic and he would've liked the opportunity to make over the top gestures I think. Something I ever require of him, but it's that's his way... his other male friends have had weddings and he loves to come up with ideas they can all collaborate on to make it more interesting and make a statement.
One of our closest friends, they love comics and his fiance (now wife) love The Joker & Harley Queen... they have that "theme" going privately, so we had thought to make some knives with both engraved with a Joker/Harley vector graphic... the engravers loved the idea... but yeah, I don't think romantic gestures are limited to women... in fact, I think men, especially the crowd we hang around, tend to be more romantic than the women... his wife didn't want a wedding at all... they were initially going to be in a group wedding (a Vietnamese party), but his parents weren't respectful of his wife's choices and so he decided to opt for a wedding at a church instead... it was beautiful :love:
