*Sigh* (Of relief) Kinda Long

So last night I couldn't sleep (Thanks FI for the caffeine)...so I was busy thinking about a post that was on here last summer discussing what you have changed about your wedding since you first started planning... Last night I decided to throw caution to the wind. FI and I want our wedding done OUR way with OUR style. We got stuck in the mind frame that we need to try not to offend anyone (grandmothers mostly in mind and FSIL who is SUPER churchy.) Last night I thought, "The hell with it!" This is our party and wedding, and I don't want any regrets on July 25. So to take care of this little problem I talked to my mom, thank God for my mom! I asked her to give me away along with my dad, and my little sis is my MOH (Now the whole family is involved.) She said yes, even cried a little bit. I knew that my mom would want to do this along with my dad but she was too tied down by tradition to broach the subject... And I played "Crazy Train" by Ozzy for her (our chosen recessional) and she really liked it. I know Grandma and FSIL will probably faint but who the heck cares? They already had THEIR weddings... So this is basically a big FU to conforming when I want to be a WEDDING ANARCHIST! (I'll drink to that later!) **END RANT**

    I like it. There was a girl on another board who was actually considering two different receptions so that she could please both her family, and her FIs family. I wanted to yell, "It's your wedding!" So good job. Your day is about you & your FI. Way to be strong!

    Yay! Yo go, indie bride! I've flirted with the idea of both parents walking me down the aisle, too. How'd your dad respond to it when you told him?

    Carrie- my dad is fine with it, I think he actually prefers it too. He and my mom are still married and very close, everything they do, they do together, I think that it will be more special for both of them, they brought me into this world together, and they'll give me away together. :)
