Courthouse Chic

Any true romantic worth their Jordan Almonds will tell you, the epitome of a romantic gestures has to be the courthouse wedding. It's a spur of the moment affair, sure. Impetuous, maybe. But mostly it just says "I have to marry you right now" and that's kind of amazing. I am also of the mind that there is no "wrong" way to get married, just amazing different ones. I had a medium-sized wedding in a church, but my parents got married at a friend's house (Mom wore an ivory pantsuit, it was amazing). Weddings are joyful no matter where they are.

 My personal love for the courthouse wedding is magnified by the fact that you can wear a crazy awesome and perhaps expensive outfit and say, "but look at all the money I saved by not having a 500-person guest list!" With that in mind, some thoughts for what to wear...
