  • I don't get bird cage veils with dresses that aren't vintage.
    I don't get pick ups on dreses.
    I don't get having a DW wedding and then a ceremony at home the next week for family to see.  Pick one or the other.

  • I don't get 30 person wedding parties.
  • Trash the Dress pictures. I know this is an unpopular opinion, but it makes no sense to me to take pictures of you in your wedding attire on a day that isn't your wedding.

  • I don't get people who RSVP and don't show up.
    Or people who don't RSVP at all.

    I also don't get why tea length wedding gowns with long bridesmaid dresses...I kinda don't get long bridesmaids dresses at all.
  • I totally agree on trash the dress pictures.

  • I don't get ppl that want to have a church ceremony just for the pretty background and don't believe in the teachings of the church they are getting married in.
  • I don't get wedding pictures with old bicycles in them.  I've seen more than one wedding with that lately and I just don't get it.

    You took the words right out of my mouth.  This, exactly.
  • I don't get pick-up dresses.
    I don't get tiaras.
    I don't get guests who NEED to RSVP with a guest, and then show up without one.
    I don't get racy or obscene garter tosses.

  • P2!!!  Missed you, girl.

    I don't get colored dresses either.  Just NMS.

    I don't get bridal party dances.

    I used to not get receiving lines until my mom JUST explained why one would have been good (so extended family could meet and know who everyone was).  Don't know why she didn't emphasize that to me before our receiving-line-less wedding.

    This one just made me laugh.

    I don't get: White Bridesmaid dresses or the entire WP in white.

    I hate Jack and Jill showers. Just the thought of holding a fund raiser for yourself makes me want to rip someone's face off. I've never been invited to one but I can't wait until I am so I can take a stand <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-wink.gif" border="0" alt="Wink" title="Wink" />

    I don't get the wedding I went to last year.  They asked for cash or checks on their registry card (included in the invitation), had a cake and punch reception that lasted 45 minutes while they took pictures, and then they went on 2 honeymoons.  I wouldn't normally mind cake a punch reception, but the wedding was oot and the bride and groom weren't even there for any of it.

    <div>This.  I'm not anti-photo booth.  And if you need props to make it fun then fine, whatever.  But what's with the mustache on a stick?</div>

  • I don't get more than one dress.  Like a reception dress or whatever.  I no get it.

    I don't get large bridal parties.

    I don't get grooms cakes.  (i think they're cool/cute... but i don't understand why you have them.  i'd just serve a different cake at the rehearsal dinner.  oh wait we did do that!"

    i don't get after parties.  around here everyone just parties til 1 or 2 and then we go home.

  • I don't get spending so much money on half a day. I don't regret my wedding, but it was a waste of money. That money would have bought so many things that would have been longer lasting.

    Ditto this.  Why do you need two?  I spent enough money on my one wedding gown that there was no way I was going to take it off and change into something else at some other point during the evening.

    I don't get putting random children in your wedding party just so you can have a flower girl and ring bearer.  And by random children I mean kids outside of your family who have no real relationship to your or involvement in your life.  Kids aren't props.

    Cute picture, Kiki! 

    I don't get large bridal parties.  I don't get miniature brides. 

    ETA:  I don't get the garter toss - it just seems gross to me.
  • I don't get dollar dances. I'd never heard of them before here, and dancing for money still just makes me think of strippers.
  • I don't get donations in the guest's name in lieu of favors. Just don't do favors at all and make a donation on your own time.

  • i dont get pretty much anything that doesnt directly relate to the act of getting married and things that are purchased for pure photo op.

    [QUOTE]I have been to 3 wedding where the guests have to MOVE the tables off the dance floor after dinner and it was really awkward and annoying to have to rearrange the room! Find a bigger venue or have a smaller dance floor.
    Posted by aegrish[/QUOTE]

    That doesn't bother me so much.   I get why a couple opts for that.
