    It's MY wedding and I deserve to be treated with respect and dignity even if you disagree with my choices and even if I can't accommodate all of your requests.

    It is my wedding and we can choose not to play any genre of music we choose.

    On that note:

    It's my wedding ... we don't have to have Vietnamese karaoke if we don't want to.

    It makes me so sad when brides post on here about having poor relationships with bio dad, but think they have to pick him over the uncle who has always been there for her just because the guy is her bio dad. 
    You beat me to the punch! I completely agree!

    At DH's uncle's wedding, they blindfolded his very very shy new wife and had her grope a bunch of male guest's butts and then choose which one belonged to her new DH.  I was mortified.  When they suggested it to me, it was an immediate and not up for discussion NOPE.

    It's our wedding, and we decide how much money we want to spend on it! It's our wedding, so we get to decide what types of decorations we will use - if we are paying for them It's our wedding so if I want to use silk flowers and DIY my boquet, rather than hire a florist, it's my choice! It's my wedding and I treat my bridesmaids how ever respectfully I choose! I will not disrespect them like my sister disrespected hers, nor will I allow her to disrespect these people.

    It's our wedding and we get to have a taco bar as opposed to traditional wedding food.
    It's our wedding and if we want a green velvet cake with cream cheese based frosting, we get to have one, whether or not my dad likes either of these choices. Him and mom already got the wedding they wanted with the food they wanted.

    Yikes! I hope they at least helped the poor bride find these butts while blindfolded, so she didn't accidentally grope anything else.

    It (was) my wedding and I had the dress bustled the way *I* wanted the dress bustled.



    This was one of my few bridezilla moments when planning the wedding.   I wanted to get a brooch for where we were bustling the dress since my seamstress insisted on pinning it and I opted not to argue when my mom agreed with her.    When my mom said, "I don't know why you're insisting on getting a brooch for the dress," my immediate answer was yelling, "Because the FUCKING DRESS WILL HAVE A FUCKING BUSTLE!!!"

    Amen to that!!! My mother keeps insisting we play Celine Dion at our wedding (she loves her fellow French Canadians). FI and I have left the DJ with very specific instructions of no Celine under any circumstances!!! Lol, we both cannot stand her... Celine Dion, not my mom. Hahaha, I love my mom. :P

    Eta: didn't post the quote for some odd reason...

    It's my wedding, so I don't have to register or accept showers if that's not my cup of tea.

    It's my wedding, so I get to pick my dress.

    It's my wedding, so I don't have to do spotlight dances.

    It's my wedding, so I don't have to agree to be photographed in "getting ready" photos.

    It's my wedding, so I don't have to allow the DJ to play any music I don't like.

    It's my wedding so I will be responsible for addressing all shower thank you notes and all wedding invitations and thank you notes.

    It's my wedding so I will be responsible for any DIY projects and not assign them as "duties" to my bridal party.

    It's my wedding... so grim predictions about the divorce rate will not be accepted silently.

    It's my wedding... so I get to decide how many people are invited to the rehearsal dinner.
    It's our wedding... so I can correct your outdated statistic about the "climbing" divorce rate!

    It's our wedding... and we can have it wherever we want and appropriately deal with any caveats that may arise with having it in said location!

    It's our wedding... and we can have NO MOH or ALL MOH if we please!


    ((Having been a Human Development and Family Sciences minor pays off really well when it comes to knowing an absurd amount of statistics about family systems! The current divorce rate is really not as grim as people want you to think and there are 1 million protective or risk factors for everything.))

    It's my wedding:

    I will wear a corset. 

    I will order, drink and pay for as many cups of tea as I want on the day. 

    I will have breakfast with my DH to be. I need him to lace the corset anyway....

    It's my wedding and we can choose what order to have which parts of the ceremony in (as long as that doesn't conflict with religious traditions we are observing).

    But it's my wedding and if I want to put his ring on first, I can!

    It's our wedding mom, and we will not invite your friend who assaulted my father, brother, and several guests at your birthday party, threw beer bottles at guests at our shower (that he wasn't invited to) called FI a dirty motherfucker and accused him of cheating on me because he had a female roommate. Just because his mommy will refuse to come if her son isn't invited, and you want her at the wedding. You want her company so badly, you don't have to come either.

    This was a conversation I had to have with my mom. She begged me to invite him. No. You may put that man above your family, but my wedding was one day he was not going to ruin. Told her if he showed up, she and he would be forced to leave.
