Well, let's break the news... I'm getting married.

Someone managed to get this awkward, fumbly, heart-worn woman pinned down long enough to put a ring on it.
In any case, we're doing a small wedding in a neo-50s and slightly hipster style. I'm doing masses of decorations and going mental over it! I have a handmade dress, oh so excited, but I want to ask you folks...
... if you're married, what made your wedding special? And what's your advice for an awesome marriage?
... if you ever wanted to be married, what would you do to make it special?
... if you're not a fan of marriage, why is that, and what would be the one thing that would change your mind?
