Texas? I thought he meant Montana. Where she will cook rabbits, and he can travel between states with no papers. I was 25 when I got married, we'd already been together 3 years. It's not really the age that matters so much, it's more a matter of knowing them. Sorry, you just can't really know someone in under a year, and IMO that's the reason so many marriages fail. If it's been 6 months you're both still on "best behavior mode" and not showing the other all your warts and flaws. If you walk into a marriage blind, thinking it will all work out, you are WRONG. Marriage codifies what already exists between you, it doesn't create some magic cement to bind you. I watched my sister do that, thinking that getting married would solve their troubles and make life worry-free for them. Surprise, surprise, things got worse. Divorced in like 2 years. That said, I got married in a Hilton in Fort Lauderdale. Nothing particularly special, really, as we already lived there. Took my first cruise for the honeymoon, though, so that was special.

To answer the original question, New York can be gorgeous weather-wise in September, but there's still the chance of a streak of brutal hot weather to trudge through. The edge of the summer heat, though, is gone by mid-September. I actually prefer October, as by then it's decidedly cooler, but not as rainy as November can be. I go married in NY in October. Perfect Day, Great Wedding..... the marriage... not so much!

Well as an on/off wedding photographer, I've seen a few more weddings from the outside than the average. And I would say... 1. You don't just get married for yourself. It's two families joining. Celebrate that or look selfish. 2. If you aren't a princess don't get married in a castle. Life lesson there. Marriage isn't fantasy, it's as real as it gets. 3. Be true to yourselves. This may override point #1 and #2 Here endeth the lesson.

Congrats, semmern! Nice to hear some good news. Your families are coming to America for the wedding? edit: You may find this link useful... http://nymag.com/weddings/listings/locations/index5.html (A wedding at the Museum of Natural History would be EPIC! You must get your photo taken under the famous allosaurus vs brontosaurs fossils....)

Oh, I dunno, NYC can be a fun little romp for a few days. NYC can be expensive, but not prohibitively so if you're mindful. And it's a pretty friendly city - if you're lost, ask for directions from just about anyone that looks local.
What does a "local" look like? New York is one of the most racially, ethnically, religiously diverse cities in the world. Anyone in New York could be "local" except taxi drivers. They are all transplants from other countries.

They are all transplants from other countries. Someone who "looks" local is one who looks like they know where they're going and what they're doing, IE not a tourist. A cop for instance would "look" local as would a taxi driver or a doorman or store owner etc. No one made it about race or ethnicity but you.

Sounds good,
There will only be eight of us, so we dont't need a big venue, just a small ceremony and a restaurant for the dinner afterwards. Then the families will fly home, and we will probably stay in the US for our honeymoon.
In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

NYC'ers friendly?? Both NYC'ers and Jerseyites are reflexively rude IMO.

Direct all of the time but rude most of the time. Think Jersey is worse than NY
