We totally did. We were playing with the idea of not even trying, just because it seemed silly-- not like we weren't doing it our whole relationship. But we did very well with having a chill wedding, which was fun and exciting and, yes, something of a long day, but not exhausting, hurried, or nerve-fraying. And one of my wife's best friends (who also happened to be our photographer's wife) said to us, "You have to do it! Think of all those sad people in America that can't even celebrate their own wedding with a good hard fuck! You owe it to them!"
So after the wedding, we came home, we changed our relationship statuses on Facebook, we passed a bowl with our photographer and his wife, and after we were good and chilled out, we gave them the boot and got it on good and proper.
Good times.
