Connie and I were married at the Justice of the Peace in Brooklyn, on a hot Friday, August 20th, 1982. A few close friends were there, and we then returned to her grandmother's apartment for a small, casual party. It was wonderful, simple, and quite inexpensive. A good thing, because we really didn't have much money.
We're not as poor now, and I could afford a substantial wedding for my children (they're only 18, 15 and 13 - hopefully it's not in the offing soon) with little difficulty. But it will be a cold day in Hell before I'd ever consider funding such a spectacle, even partly. I've attended some fancy weddings, and have yet to come away thinking that the money couldn't have been spent in far better ways.
