Congrats dude! And I give you props for coming to CP as the first thing you do after the engagement, true internet poster at his finest!

[LIP MAN]

Not sure how adventurous/travelled you are but maybe a place like Thailand for a honeymoon, once you get the costs of flight out of the way everything is really cheap. If you end up on the coastal areas it's beautiful and a lot less crowded.

I found out last week you can rent Baker Park for weddings for only $12, lol.

[Russic]

Congrats to you and good luck to your wife!!

[Cgy Girl]

congrats! have to echo previous posters- make sure you get the big stuff booked as soon as you can. it's been my experience that wedding stuff in calgary is ridiculous...things book up so quickly! good luck with the planning!

Congrats. If you're looking for somewhere in the SW I would recommend The Ranche in Fish Creek Park...that's if you're not looking for something too big. Perfect location for nice, simple pictures...and you can have the wedding outdoors. I've been to a couple of weddings there before and it's a pretty nice place. here's their website: http://www.crmr.com/theranche/

Congrats! I'm assuming this isn't an asian wedding. Thank your lucky stars.

Congrats you poor sucker...We used Joining hearts Studio for photography.... really inexpensive and good!!! Reception: the top floor of the International Hotel (although they didn't serve Kokanee 5 years ago, I cried at my own wedding because of this!) Music: can't remember, so wasn't that good... If it's a small wediing, the Delta Atrium on Macleod and Southland isn't bad and I think inexpensive (No, I'm not cheap, just don't like to part with my money...)
Book Now!!!

Did you know that 50% of all marriages end in divorce? You thought gas was pricey

And by the way, CONGRATS!!!

Yes, CONGRATS.

I second Puerto Morelos. Excellent place to visit. Go to the Excellence Riviera Hotel. High end all inclusive hotel. Couples only. No reservations for meals and top shelf liquor all the way. PM me for details if you like.

Get married on the floor of the Saddledome, nothing like saying I love you with Beesley screaming at the top of his lungs.

YOOOOOOUUUUUURRREEE NOOOOOW HUSSSBAND AND WIIIIIIFFFFEEE

Actually that be my dream wedding, Congrats man.

You could go out to Canmore, I love it there and I would be perfect for a wedding.

Cieba del Mar, north end of town, is very nice too. We rented a villa, but then we were a party of 6.

Maui for the honeymoon! Tonnes of stuff for you to do, beaches are great, snorkeling is awesome and everyone speaks english!!! (coming from someone that only learned the phrase: Dos cervesa, por favour... for when she was in Mexico.

Playa Del carmen for your honeymoon

[Buff]

Go to Hawaii for the honeymoon. I recommend the Island of Kaui. Really beautiful and peaceful. It has some nice sites and it is not busy busy with the tourists as Waikiki and the rest of the places on Oahu. Although I do recommend staying one or two nights in Waikiki and taking a shuttle to Pearl Harbour. You never know if/when you'll get back to Hawaii and I think Pearl Harbour is a must see.

Oh, and congratulations on your engagement!

Go to Greece, great spot for quiet but some amazing sights to see as well.

I got married on that Paddle Wheel boat in Heritage Park.

Reception at the Wainwright afterwards.

Yuo can have a Horse drawn carriage pick you up at the boat and drive you around the park for a quick tour while your guests are heading to the reception area.

Awesome food. Only issue I had was you had to be out by 1:00 am.

I got married at the Leighton Art Centre. It is a very nice place for an outdoor wedding. The view is incredible. We also had our reception at the Dewinton Community hall which is also a nice location.
