Wedding Chapel.....

Nevyn

I think I have found THE place I would want to have my nuptials if any one is ever unfortunate to want to marry me.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedlec_Ossuary

The Sedlec Ossuary (Czech: kostnice Sedlec) is a small Roman Catholic chapel, located beneath the Cemetery Church of All Saints (Czech: Hřbitovní kostel Všech Svatých) in Sedlec, a suburb of Kutná Hora in the Czech Republic. The ossuary contains approximately 40,000-70,000 human skeletons which have been artistically arranged to form decorations and furnishings for the chapel.

So ladies any of you got that ideal place you may one day want to exchange vows ?

Ooooh... :eek: wow!! I like!!!

Wouldn't mind someplace like that myself, someplace with a lot of character and with some sort of history to it. I've never really thought about it but I know I deffo wouldn't want somewhere brand new and 'cold' looking!

I didnt think you were a catholic? It's a pretty cool venue I might say. If I were catholic I quite like the church in Gouganebarra in Cork



Since I am not, and since Irish weddings are pretty much all the same, I'm saving for a New York wedding.

Very good idea, but if you ever needed an insight into the male psyche and why commitment may be an issue, I give you the evidence above......:)

Good choice. I love Gouganebarra...

Shall we say 10.00am tomorrow?:eek::pac:

Has that church being like that for years, OP? How did the authorities get permission to use someone's remains from relatives et al?

Puts a whole new meaning on "...til death do us part."

In 1870, František Rint, a woodcarver, was employed by the Schwarzenberg family to put the bone heaps into order.

It used to be people were buried for a year or so and then their bones were removed from the grave to make for someone else and they were stacked in the crypt in a church.

edit: hahaa, my b/f just asked what i was doing looking up all these places on google... i told him we were talking about where we'd get married... i think i genuinely managed to scare him there for a few mins

copacetic

didn't John Connolly set the finale to one of his books there?

I'm getting married in the inflatable church at Electric Picnic.

If i get married i like the idea of doing the legalese in jeans one morning in the registry office, then maybe the next weekend doing some sort of a made-up-by-us ceremony under a tree somewhere. Given the Irish weather we'd probably have to sort out some umbrella rentals....

I think i prefer trees to human remains - each to their own. Just Thaedydal, you wouldn't go all bridezilla and try to recreate that scene in Ireland, would you....? I wonder if a boards.ie thread has ever been used as evidence for the prosecution before....:D

Way to much effort, really the place exists and it will weed out the faint of heart off the guest list.

Drive-thru Vegas style, ftw.

Theres a cool bombed out church in Liverpool city Center called St Lukes that would be really cool to get married in. It has all brambles growing in it and it gets lit up at night time. I don't know why its full of row boats though!

Vegas, it has to be.

His relatives are in NZ and South Africa, mine are in Ireland. My family are Protestants and his family are Hindus. I really don't know where else we could do it. It's sorta halfway between all the places and would be a laugh!

Although an Indian style wedding ceremony would be pretty cool. Red saris and dancing around fires with painted hands etc!

Jules

I was baptisied a catholic but i don't go to mass unless its a family event, wedding, christening, funeral or some such. So i wont get married in a church. And contrary to popular belief i will not get "vitually" married in a well know RPG.... /me shakes my fist at Blizzard!

I wanna get married some where away, maybe a cruise ship.. a la the love boat!

chuci

want to get married on a beach in ireland but with the weather will have to hand out ponchos like they do in concerts to people coming.somewhere outside would just be nice.

Miss Fluff

Had my first handfasting on top of a mountain and then renewed my vows a year and a day later by a lake. A year or two after that I dumped the loser. If I was to do it now think it would be a little church I like in the South of France tbh.

Catari Jaguar

It's probably not allowed but I'd pick Mellifont Abbey.

We're both interested in old church ruins or outdoor weddings. I'd have rows of white benches on that little green in front of the arch. Say the vows at the arch and have lilies, white roses and snowdrops around and lots of twinkling white lights....

DetectivFoxtrot

A la Jules I am baptised but not religious. I got married on a beach on Mahé Island in the Seychelles. Indian Ocean lapping at our feet, low hanging cocao trees hanging over head, our witnesses were 2 locals whom happened to be storlling along the beach at the time - I was only 23! (which btw was bleedin ages ago!:eek:)

wouldn't change it for the world. Beach weddings ftw!
Big ants ate our wedding cake, it was pretty cool to watch actually, they are such an organised species (another one of my nerdy traits):p

A friend of mine (male) was dressed up all weekend as a nun at that thing. (he was paid, said it was a great laugh, heh).

Weddings aren't allowed there, I know, but many couples come to have photographs taken afterwards, and that is allowed, so long as the wedding party doesn't get in the way of staff or visitors.

My sister got married there, it's gorgeous alright. But the weather was crap that day so kinda ruined it.

I hope you don't mind me being nosey.
But was it a mock wedding as you don't seem to have mentioned legal separation. Are you actually pagan?
