Thanks for resurrecting this thread.  I had totally forgotten about it.

Chick Jr. recently announced her engagement, and these tips will come in handy.

One thing I didn't see addressed:  Has anyone planned a winter wedding?  It's an option she is considering, and I am wondering how well that will work in Milwaukee.  Also, are venues, catering, etc. that much less expensive in the Winter to make it worth it?
Have some patience, FFS.

Congratulations!  Did Da Judge officiate?

Thank you all!  Dajudge did not officiate the wedding.  We decided we wanted him to be able to just enjoy the weekend rather than have to officiate it, even though we knew he would've been more than happy to do it and would've done a great job.  Him and my now FIL did very nice, relatively quick welcome speeches to open dinner.  We had my wife's former pastor officiate it, and he did a great job.

Happy for you wades, I hope you two have many wonderful years together

I've been to a lot of weddings and the only Winter wedding I've been to was in Atlanta. I'm assuming you're talking about up north?

Yep. In Milwaukee.

From what I saw when looking around, it seemed as though you would save about $1,000-$1,500 on the venue.  I didn't see any catering where it saved any money, but the Pritzlaff only had a list of 5 caterers they worked with and we had a family connection to one, so we didn't do a ton of research into other catering options.

I haven't been to a winter wedding, but I've seen pictures from other peoples' winter weddings and there are some pretty awesome pictures if it's snowing outside.

Congrats. Hope you have 50 great years.

Speaking of judges, if you are contemplating that, I highly recommend Derek Mosley.  He's not on the bench anymore, but still does weddings. 

He married into my niece's family, and also did my neice's wedding.  He does a great job... and got to know him a bit as we are connected through marriage...kind of a 3rd cousin in-law, 4 times removed.   :D

Give him a lookover if a judge is up your alley.  Added "benefit"...as some of you probably know, he is an MU law alum and is now teaching at MU since he left the bench.

You may not get better prices on everything, but you can plan a winter event with shorter notice and be much more likely to have all of your preferred vendors, locations, etc. available.  The summer months book up fast.

We were pretty surprised, October had less openings than August for us.

We are at it again. My son is to be married May 11th. He and his fiancé selected a barn outside Oconomowoc for their venue. So far, so good.

Looks like another really nice wedding in the making.

Our youngest son is getting married in June. They have opted for a very small wedding and I am excited for their big day. Our first son had a very big wedding, middle son got married in courthouse (during pandemic) and we have a family party a year later and now a small wedding coming up. We still have our daughter left and do not think she will be getting married anytime soon.

2024 looks like a big year for weddings.   My daughter is getting married in May in Baltimore.   

Congratulations, dads.

I would assume there are some "eligible" bachelors here on scoop.

Congrats Goose!

Perhaps we can celebrate our children's good fortune in Phoenix in late March/early April!

That won't be the only thing we celebrate but one of at least two!

Sir Lawrence asked the question I was thinking about has well. Glad the wedding went off well.

Thank you!  It was definitely a consideration and would have been special, but I wanted him to just enjoy the weekend even though he would've loved to have done it.  The person who officiated it did a great job, and Da Judge and my FIL gave very nice welcome speeches ahead of dinner.  And by Da Judge's standards, he even followed the request of keeping it short!

Congrats to you on the son's wedding.  Hopefully more grandkids to come.
