Wedding In A Barn?

[Radioflyer]

I know it's convenient for the production but please. Haven't the producers ever visited a real dairy farm? There's supposed to be a part of that barn where milking is done regularly not much more than fifty feet from the loft.

[Spike84]

Do they have cows?

IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE!

How the hell would they afford a giant wedding hall when Jimmy is a Photographer and Chloe has no job... Honestly, if you think about it for even a bit it makes sense... Where is the next best place that's big and can hold a big ceremony? The barn that belongs to his best friend. Jobless people have to resort to such things. I mean they probably already pushing there wallets with the whole ceremony alone.

[Radioflyer]

Supposed too. Supposed to have a dog too.

[biggkoz]

Kinda musty in there and hay-y

[Liquid-Prince]

The Talon is a lot nicer.

And a lot smaller.

[Radioflyer]

There are better venues that don't cost much, there's community centers even parks. And the Talon has been known to hold concerts with large crowds.

[Sweetie]

Well,we know they have a rooster ;)

[Radioflyer]

I guess this is like everything that happens at the Luthor Mansion happens in one room.

[biggkoz]

The talon actually would have been a better choice the barn looked super small.

I think part of this wedding was to show how genuine it was in comparison to Lex and Lana's wedding.

If you remember, Lex and Lana's wedding was in a giant, archiac church and had a rich purple and white color scheme. The color purple is often associated with Luthor (Smallville does ALOT of color symbolism). The church was giant and structural, which made the wedding a little bit more empty, spacey, and hollow. The purple kind of shows the manipulation of the Luthor's in the wedding, and the emptiness of it displayes that its not really what its supposed to be.

Jimmy and Chloe's wedding was a true smalltown wedding. It had a nice orange and brown fall color scheme, and it was a little overcrowded. But since it was overcrowded it was full and real, and genuinely a happy event.

That's how I look at it :).

Took the words out of my mouth :)

I would assume it was a summer wedding. Because a November wedding in a barn in Kansas would be freezing cold.

[Iolanthe]

Actually, I could see the barn as a place for the wedding very easily. As a previous poster said, Chloe and Jimmy don't have a lot of money. So, if Clark offered the barn, why not? And Lois is obviously efficiently getting it cleaned and organized, so it won't be all musty and hay-y.

(I do wonder what they did with the perpetually broken tractor, though. And what about all the tools and machines and old farm implement parts that just seemed to hanging around this barn?)

It's my belief that the Kents have a real barn for their animals and they just use this barn for Clark to hang out in and to house all the detritus that a working farm acquires (you know, the stuff you're going to fix "next week"). So maybe they just moved all the detritus into the animal barn? Or maybe into one of those other outbuildings that we see on the farm sometimes but have never been into. Aren't there several buildings along the driveway? Is there a henhouse or something?

But, getting back to the main topic, if Chloe and Jimmy don't have money, I'm surprised that they sprung for a catered meal and for champagne. That's the kind of stuff that adds up real fast. But, maybe, if they didn't have a hall rental, they could splurge on the food and drink?

Too bad their wedding will be remembered as a scene of mass murder.

And Clark's barn is now a crime scene - will the paparazzi come? At least the tabloids? What about the police? Are they going to find anything alien? And does Doomsday bleed? Will they find alien DNA there?

(Sorry. Now you've got me wondering.)

Jon Jones will probably stop all that.

I kind of thought it would be out in the field when I heard that the wedding would be at the Kents. But I think all things considering it was beautiful. Chloe and Jimmy dont have a lot of money for extravagence...and something tells me even if they did they wouldnt do it. They like things simple and sweet. I loved it. :)

I agree with shadowlords comment, that it's a major contrast from Lana/Lex's wedding. This was light, fun, and sweet. Where Lana's was sterile...and almost goth. Just showing how different the two couples truly are...and possibly that ones actual love where the other was not?

[Cellist]

I would have at least moved the reception elsewhere. Really, eating wedding cake in a barn?

[kalel5313]

I thought it a bit odd to have a wedding in a barn, or for her to be given away by her best friend and not... oh, I don't know... HER FATHER! But I've let so much cheesy stuff slide by in the last 7 1/2 years that this one slipped through without much trouble.

[6-Super-Man -5]

I would have chosen the Talon.

[moviefan2k4]

I'm rather surprised that no one's pointed what seemed fairly obvious to me regarding the wedding: Oliver's attendance. He shows up to let Clark know about Lex, but since the cost of the wedding is never mentioned, I assumed either Clark or Chloe probably cashed in a favor from Ollie, so he paid for the wedding.

[Spike84]

Supposed too. Supposed to have a dog too.

:lol::lol::lol:

Hang on, since when do the Kent's own a dairy farm? Did I miss an episode? Because a farm and a dairy farm are two tooootally different things. I was always under the impression that the Kent's had a crop farm.

And either way, Clark's barn is definitely *not* a dairy barn. Dairy barns have huge metal holding tanks for the milk, stalls for the cows to go in and out of, nozzles to hook up to the cows, and plumbing that takes the milk from the nozzles to the holding tank. Again, this in no way describes Clark's barn.

At best, Clark's barn is used for storage of machines, tools, hay, equipment, ect... Not for animals. Not for milking.

I'm glad that someone other than me knows the difference. And in case anyone doesn't believe either of us, I'll let you know that I'm sitting less than 100ft from a barn that doesn't have milking cows in it.

[jimmyolsenblues]

the wedding in the barn was so stupid...they should have done it in the coffee place

[Ginx]

I guess I was one of the only people who loved the barn as the setting for the wedding. I thought it was symbolic plus it was done up really nice. But that's just my opinion.

[RedKRules]

It is the budget issue I tell you !!

[cklookalike89]

I thought it was a great idea and it felt like true love between them. The talon is where they had pre wedding party and chloe and jimmy got kidnapped afterwards remember? The episode was great and too bad big dumb doomsday had to come and ruin the whole wedding

[alejandrita439]

a wedding in the barn was weird :lol:

but i liked it :)

[The Great Ymmij]

I don't know if the farm is particularly a dairy farm, but it does have cows. There were many episodes that started out with a shot of the farm with cows in the field.

True. However, it seems to me that in the early seasons of the show, the Kents were shown having cattle and horses. I seem to recall Clark mucking out the stalls in a few episodes. In fact, didn't Lana Lang board her horse on the Kent farm for a time? While the barn may not have milking machines, holding tanks, etc., it would certainly have manure, which would make it a less-than-perfect spot for a wedding.

[SnowBird]

The most animals I have seen in the barn are a couple of horses. Lucy (Lois sister) said she milked a cow we never saw. The cattle on the outside are for beaf and I've never seen them inside. There is an attached out building to the barn that could be used for other farm animals but we were never shown that there were any there. If I were Clark, I would get rid of all the animals and put the grazing land into crops. The crops could be planted by someone else on shares and he could be away more.

[Sunny8]

I liked the wedding in the barn. I would have gotten married there after the way that Lois and her team prettied it up. I thought it was romantic. Chloe and Jimmy are young, don't have that much money and don't have their parents paying for their wedding. It was nice of Clark to let them use his house and barn for free. I thought it was so much better than Lana's cold wedding to Lex.

I am like you and on page 1, there is Shadowlord who says the same as us and also a girl just after you so we are at least 4:DI found it was so romantic and so "Chloe and Clark" (they have both modest origins, they have a true heart,...) I mean with few things you can make some beautiful results. To me, the barn means "you don't need a lot to be happy, if you have love from family and friends, it is enough"(money is usefull but doesn't make you happy even if it helps !). And it was really beautiful, I love it really. With flowers and lights and everything in wood, it is exactly what I love in life. Simple, friendly and WARM. Ok in real life, a barn is not so easy maybe but it means true feelings and more it was with my favourite colors (orange and yellow) so everything was great !;)
