Married couples! Did you get married hundreds/thousands of miles away from your hometown roots??

Question

Help me out on this everyone! How do you feel about this?? Does this bother you or not??Thanks everyone!

Answer 1

No, we got married with all our friends and family and would not have wanted it any other way.  

Answer 2

We got married thousands of miles from home.....we loved it and had a great time. It's not for everyone, but it worked for us. Good luck!

Answer 3

Yes. We were in the military and got married overseas away from family and friends. I wish we were able to plan our wedding and wait to share that with our family but we were ready and couldn't wait. That was ten years ago and we're still happily married.

Answer 4

I got married in another country...it shouldn't matter...if you two love each other, you would get married anywhere.

Answer 5

I got married in the Bahamas. It was amazing and beautiful. We were married on the beach, with just the two of us and the preacher and we saved a TON of money.  We had the reception when we came back for our family and friends and there was no stress about flowers or bridesmaides dresses or any of that nonsense, if something went wrong....oh well, we were already married so no biggie.

Answer 6

no

Answer 7

We got married approx 500 miles from my hometown roots, but only about 5 miles from the home my wife grew up in and in which her parents still lived. I didn't care. No one from either family was at the ceremony. We just did it 2 days after she proposed to me. Got married on a Chicago beach at sunrise with our friends, flowers, and a gallon of Rippple wine. That was almost 42 yrs ago. In fact, today we celebrate the 42nd anniversary of our first date.  

Answer 8

Hundreds of miles..yes. But we were in the Republik of California..and we wanted OUT bad! lol..so it was planned to leave and eventually our family followed us and moved to Oregon as well. It made for a smaller wedding party, but it was very nice.
