CAGiversary!
I am posting here today looking for alternatives to the classic diamond wedding ring and ceremony. Anything from tattoos to eloping, I am pretty much open up to all ideas. Please give me your input!
a gamer's wedding?

You want to do something different?
Well your doing a wedding nothing will be different. Cause its a wedding, you can
change the theme but its still a wedding. You can come to the alter via a parachute your still going to the alter.
Do something different, and don't get married.
Yea I'm not much help.

its mostly for legal reasons to get married or at least in my mind, but i would like some sort of memento like a ring or tattoo. i am not interested in having a ceremony at all.... i would rather spend it on a trip but i am open to it and haven't ruled anything out yet
Get married on the beach, go to a castle, come in a helicopter. It's still a wedding. Just go to Vegas, tell the people you want to be there, if they show up they show up, if not, 
'em.
I got vid of the helicopter guy and I know I have beach weddings, just not uploaded.

Well, there's the most simple option, get married in a court, a judge, a police officer, and two random public witnesses, a small fee, and you're married, no ceremony, no lavish protocol, just a marriage certificate
And the money saved? Take a huge vacation you'll never forget [Japan? Italy?] and get a PS3 and some blu-rays for when you come back home.

You should each get a tatoo of a ring on your finger.
If the "most original" thing you can come up with between the two of you is a tattoo, just have a regular wedding. Don't get me wrong, tattoos can be original, but getting one with your wife/husband to "symbolize the bond you two have" is just stupid. Especially what with the history of tattoos and all.

i would seriously like to know where you get your history from. To my knowledge, tattoos can signify bonds and pledges which marriage falls under. If anything, a white wedding dress and gold bands are far more tacky than a tattoo. imo

My point was comparing traditional wedding attire to tattoos is silly, I don't know what kind of relationship youre in and I'm not a counseler, so I could care less, but most of the time people get bored with eachother, and marriage complicates things much much further if and when you decide it isn't working out for you,. On top of that, having a tattoo would just be a reminder of that loss that doesn't wash away. Besides which weddings do not need to be formal, if you want you can just get it done at your local courthouse, as you said it was mostly for 'legal reasons' anyways, right?
But if you really feel the need to brand yourself, here's a tattoo suggestion for you

As one getting married in June -- I still say go with the traditional wedding. It works, that's why it's been being used for so long. But, if you're going nontraditional...try a different type of engagement ring, something different entirely like a different type of gemstone, perhaps your better half's favorite, with a white gold ring -- which is has a different shine to it, and looks nice with a darker stone. Other options for alternate engagement ring/gifts? I've got nothing.
In terms of the ceremony, if you don't want to do the traditional church wedding -- there are still some interesting ceremonies you could have. Such as a wedding in a secluded wood with only a few close friends/family witnesses; a destination wedding at a tropical location right on the beach with the only witness being the person performin the ceremony; at sea on your own boat, a rental boat, or while on a cruise -- if you're into that sort of thing -- remember, captains can marry you while on their boat at sea and it's legally binding as far as I know; or...in the most random idea I've ever had, you could perform a guerilla wedding -- where you tell you hire someone who can legally perform the ceremony and have them show up without telling your better half one day at random and just on the spot get married -- wherever you may be -- be it in the road, at a restaurant, at the top of the Empire State building, whereever...it would make for an unforgettable random location...or pick a sweet location like the place you first kissed or first met.
Just some ideas, hope they're helpful...

Have the preacher/officiant/whoever scream 'GAME OVER!' instead of 'You may now kiss the bride.'
Seriously though the wedding is your* day and you should do what you want with it. If you are male give your input, but basically let your fiance go with what she wants.
*the bride's

the wedding is your business but if your looking for a more interesting kind of ring i can think of 2...
I once saw a lord of the rings style ring w/ elvish script but instead of the usual one ring to rule them all stuff written on it it was something about one ring to something or other love and in eternity bind us or something like that (i know this is vague but it was a long time ago that i saw it)
another one is a nice claddagh ring
here is the wiki on it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claddagh_ring
and heres the big manufactior of them (mind you can get them in most local jewlery stores) heres a couple of sites for them http://www.allcladdagh.com/claddagh-white.htm and www.claddagh.com/
or a nice puzzle ring http://www.puzzlering.net/index.html these are made by hand i have a silver one hubby bought me at a ren fest a while ago very neat but make certain you figure out how to put it back together it's not tough once you figure it out, they do come w/ instructions.

how much does a church wedding costs these days anyways? I make 20k a year, while my gf makes about 35k.... the trick will be to get HER FAMILY to pay for the wedding since she is a traditional catholic woman. Shit no way I am going to pay for this one. Her daddy's got all the money.

my cousin is getting married this summer and she was telling me that her dress alone is 2k. she invited around 200 people and thats around 75$ a plate. the hall has to be rent, the limo, and tuxes. man its totally expensive and i dont know if its that worth it

crock of shat there were 150 people at my wedding, my dress was 250 bucks and it cost my parents about 8000 total for everything .. mom made the food and friends from the church served and helped cook it for a nominal fee that included a DJ, the hall and what not, but understand that we did all of the work for it no outside help really. also i was living in the midwest and this was 5 years ago.
your cousin has decided that her wedding is going to be a certain way and so it is going to be expensive she didn't need a 2000 dollar dress that is mearly the dress that she picked she could have went to davids bridal and shopped off their bargin bin or 200$ sale but she didn't. It is as expensive as you make it, she made it pretty damn expensive if you ask me.
