OT: any advice on where to get married in Ann Arbor?
I recently popped the question, and my newly minted mgofiance and I are hoping to get married somewhere in Ann Arbor next May. She already rejected the obvious first choice, so now I'm looking to find the next best thing. Saw a thread from 2010 on here asking the same question, but I'm wondering if anybody has some new or different advice.
We'd prefer an outdoor ceremony, and we're both heathens so the venue won't be a church. We checked out the botanical gardens and the coordinator there basically shot down a May wedding saying that nothing is in bloom by then and it would be a waste. The Arb is beautiful but is a logistically terrible place for a wedding apparently. We checked out the Ann Arbor City Club and were pretty impressed...
So, anybody had or been to some nice Ann Arbor weddings recently?
Michigan Stadium DUH
her interest in michigan sports is a 2/10 on a good day. that being said, she puts up with me watching sports 24/7 so i have no complaints.
First and foremost, congratulations!
Second, as someone who has been married 12 years to a wife who still doesn't mind the fact that I rarely miss a game in which Wolverines are involved, never mind pro sports for the moment, may I say that you have a keeper there.
All I could ask for

we used to go to games together during school and she would stay for a couple quarters then go back home with her friends. she stayed for UTL and the OSU win so at least she has some interest in big games. went with me to a pistons playoff game this year. but, she would never watch a game on TV with me, lol.
Does she like dogs? NEVER marry someone who doesn't like dogs!!
Just be ready to have me bumble through the ceremony on my way to class

No Fall Weddings. Fall is for football. People need to have some respect for great american institutions
one must assume it's a Michigan bye week.
This is just my opinion, but getting married in a football stadium, even Michigan Stadium, is not even remotely romantic. I don't want to get married in a place where I've been shitfaced and yelled ridiculous obscenities more times than I can count.

in jest. michigan stadium doesn't invoke feelings of everlasting love, it invokes a tribal rage and desire to shred enemies with no mercy.
you can't even think like that.
go wash your brain out with soap....
afraid of the empire, but came through in the end? did i miss some renaissance catholic history, out in space?
I'd be up for some solid money saving
We also ended up in Hartland to save some money and because it was difficult to find the right spot in Ann Arbor. Ours was outdoors at Waldenwoods Resort.
Not made of money - got married at the Union in May 2015. The League does outdoor weddings. The venue rental was minimal, the catering and booze costs were where M made their money. they did a great job. Tai - chat me on Twitter (same as MGoUsername) if you have any questions

Go out to Manchester to the Sharon Mills County Park. The river is there and nice grounds.
Google it.
I would never do that to myself and loved ones.
and you must figure there is a missing chapter that addresses that somewhere, maybe a proverb that was providentially hidden?
The league is also an option. They have some outdoor space as well for ceremony, but it doesn't fit that many people (maybe 50-75? Don't quite remember).
My wife and I got married at Earhart Manor over on Concordia's campus. Has a good mix of indoor/outdoor. Can't say a bad thing about it.
that looks really nice.
there might be some good vantage points along the huron river but i don't know of anything specific.
Got married in a church, had the reception at AACTMAD. Would do it again.
You can bring in booze, get a nice caterer, and keep the costs reasonable. Also great for dancing.
AACTMAD is also near Kensington, which is great for guests flying in.
like 20 months out. that was my sister's #1 choice too
Another big yes for Wellers in Saline. The Carriage House seats 212. Equal parts beautiful, classy, and historic.
