Aaah, the tricky little vagaries of living in todays modern world. [8D]

I getting married three times on three different continents (same groom[]) in the next five months.

You must really love cake.

Are they all open bar?

Also, do you think you'll be able to pretend you're still overwhelmed by the moment... by the third moment?  []

The groom is English, with all his family in the UK and Europe. He has lived in Australia since he was 17.

My family (other than cousins that may be travelling) is entirely in North America now.

We have many extremely close friends here in Australia. When you are this far from home your friends unquestionably become like family.

We considered having one wedding, but the cost and complications were much worse than three weddings, elderly family members that aren't fit enough to travel a great distance, huge number of people that would be deeply hurt by being left out, but simply couldn't afford to pay for their own flights and accommodations... so here we are.

Everyone has a wedding in their general area so no one is left out.

We each only get one wedding where our family is with us so I think that, where as the US wedding will be the most special to me, the UK wedding will mean the most to him. The Australian wedding will be easy and fun. We are at the Park Hyatt across from the Opera house with all of our friends.

We have decided we want to keep each other forever, that is the important part.  At the end of the day, the wedding is for your friends and family, so that they get to share in that.

Wow, I couldn't imagine doing the whole production 3 times!
I just had a planned elopement downtown the other weekend (just us,BM,MOH,and minister)to avoid all the drama and stress. (we've been together for like 7 1/2 years) It was like a Vegas wedding in Tulsa:) Then we had a reception for family and friends later in the day.  We had a lot of friends come to town and attend our reception and the Dfest.  I think we did our part to make Tulsa look cool:) They dug it!

I am very jealous jne! I would elope in a heartbeat.
Great idea using dfest!
I would lose a lot of money in deposits and such, but if my groom were willing to elope, I wouldn't mind losing the money.
He is being the adult in this situation. I have said several times 'Come on, we can just run off to Fiji and elope.' []
Our plan of using the Park Hyatt fell through. It is just too small for 80 to spite what they say!
So now we are back to searching for a Sydney venue.
