The former, for a couple friends, was a good idea because one family was religious, the other not, so they mimicked a 'traditional' xtian wedding by having an enclosure with two rows, etc., a justice-of-the-peace type who dressed enough like a minister, and vows from Plato's Symposium (on love) ... pleased everybody.

If I ever marry but do not do the screw-it-all-just-elope thing (which other friends have done ... in Vegas), the above-described-event would serve as a nice inspiration. In my experience, overly-thought-out-and-designed weddings are doomed to certain types of failure.
