A1.If you want something truly
personal, check out the website of the British Humanist Association
- www.humanism.org.uk While a humanist ceremony has no legal
standing (you'd need to go to a registry office to complete
the formalities) it's the most adaptable of all ceremonies.
There are no restrictions on word or venues - you can say
whatever you like wherever you like and at whatever time you
like. Even civil ceremonies are subject to 'laws' regarding
music and words so a humanist ceremony is the perfect way
to have your kind of celebration.
If you want details of all the venues licensed for civil ceremonies (and there are some fantastic ones!), have a look at 'Nobles Guide' in the net-weddings book store. You could find somewhere perfect for you and still personalise the day in other ways.
Whatever you decide - good luck and I hope your
get the day you want.

A2. There are hundreds of
options open to you. You want to make your day memorable,
your day will be, no matter how you choose to get married.
Can I ask you the reason why you do not want "a dress and invitations", I am getting the impression that it is because you have been together for 12yrs and that for some reason you feel you shouldn't have a dress etc. If you want a small traditional wedding go for it!
Do you want a romantic wedding, a fun
wedding, an exotic wedding or an adrenalin pumping wedding?
You could get married abroad, the Caribbean for example, barefoot
on the beach. First I want you to really have a think what
does Sheri want? This is your big day one of the most important
days in your life - make it special to you.
