  I have friends who managed to go to a courthouse, get hitched, and then throw a party a few days later celebrating said hitching without having a PPD!!! Lovely people.

  
  

  So the story is Marshall and Lily have been together forever, 13 years to be exact. They finally got engaged two years ago but didn't rush to planning a wedding. Well on Friday (their 13th anniversary), they decided to say fuck it and go get hitched. Then everyone got a mass email invite to a BBQ at their place on Sunday. Once everyone is there they announce "Oh hey, this is actually to celebrate us getting married! Yay we're married! Everyone drink!" and we did. 

  
  

  There was tons of food, booze (and non-booze), and cake. Yummy yummy cake. We got the name of the bakery cause hot damn was it good cake. We got to see wedding day pictures, and they showed us a video Lily's sister took on her phone of their vows. And Lily said "I'm so glad we're married and it's done", so I said "And you didn't have a PPD" and then I had to explain what I was talking about and Lily said "Who the fuck wants to do all that? The point of a court house wedding is to avoid all the fucking trappings of a normal wedding. Not have both!", and then we hugged. 

  
  

  Also FI calls you all my "knottie internet girls", which makes it sound like you're all in porn.

  YES YES YES

  That's awesome!  My aunt and her husband did the same thing 18 years ago.  Just invited a bunch of people over for a BBQ and then were like "oh BTW, we got married today!"  I was only 11 at the time but I remember it being quite the party.

  This is my favorite part. Yummy cake is a close second.

  It was a very funny moment because I said "It's so nice you didn't have a pretty pretty princess day" (because for someone reason I always aid in the extra pretty in PPD). And she asked what that was and FI goes "Oh, it's something those knottie internet girls talk about" which had Lily going "What the fuck are doing on the internet?!? And is that some kind of new porn thing?", and once I stopped laughing I could explain myself.

  DH and I have friends who did something similar. They had a church wedding, but it was only with immediate family and groom's uncle officiated. We knew they were engaged, but none of us knew they were getting married until they called us up that night and told us the deed was done. We had an impromptu celebration at their house that night with drinks and cake. They held a more formal housewarming/marriage celebration party a few weeks later with even more cake and wine. I was a little disappointed that I didn't get to see them exchange their vows (we've been friends for 20 years), but it was very much their style. I would have been a whole lot more disappointed, though, if they invited us to some runner-up, dog and pony show, fake redo PPD.

  Ok, I did manage to read that and I totally love it. Your friends certainly do sound awesome.... sadly, it was hard for me to get through reading the post though because as soon as I read "Marshall and Lily" all I could picture was this....

  And M&L had a pre-ceremony ceremony, which is bad (if I remember correctly)

  Well, I give them a pass.  It wasn't planned, Marshall shaved off half his hair, Lily was having an aneurism, and they said different vows in front of everyone else than they did out in the park.  It was like a 5 minute difference, it wasn't planned, they are fictional, and they are my favorite... so they get the only pass I have

  Your porn comment had me laughing out loud. And your friends do sound awesome. I will voice my dissent however, in that I hope none of their VIPs missed this BBQ. I missed my friend's engagement because we were all invited to another night out at the bars where her now-husband proposed that night. I was tired from work and didn't go since we were going out once or twice a week back then. Of course, I never expected her H to give me a heads up that he was proposing but I'm super bummed that I missed it.

  How absolutely sweet and romantic! If FI and I weren't committed to our plans, we'd be doing the same thing.
