My fiance and I have been dating since we were 16 (I'm 21 now, for perspective haha). The first summer we dated we'd spend 17-18 hours a day together just sitting in parks and playgrounds, since we didn't want to be at either of our houses and had nowhere else to go.
So I was thinking... instead of having our wedding ceremony in a large meadow park area, or beside a lake or something, what if we had it in a playground, with a large enough area next to it for guest seating. We could be in the middle of the playground set, which we could decorate with tulle, ribbons, flowers, etc.
Do you think that's a tacky idea, or could it be made into something fun and beautiful?

This is a belated married bio, with no reviews yet because I'm lazy.
Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284
And, like a number of people mentioned, good luck shutting down a playground. For one parents would complain to the parks department, but for two people would probably show up anyway then their kid will be upset they can't play.... the possibilities are endless.
If you get the necessary permission, children showing up shouldn't be a problem because (at least in NY) notice would be posted at least a week before warning people that an event was going to occur there.

[QUOTE]Don't listen to the pp above trying to discourage you. I think it is a sweet, romantic idea. I think you should start doing research now and see if it is feasible to get the necessary permissions and if not, THEN you can start looking at the alternatives like just making it your theme at a different location.
