NMS

mica178

I am so glad I was able to talk H out of a unity candle (everyone in his family seems to do it).  Weddings are already unifying, do we need the extra bit to make sure that we all understand that two people are coming together?  Yeesh.

Ditto. I would have gone with traditional black but FI really liked these dark gray tuxes and I could live with that. I would have had to veto anything else.

You take that back! 

I kid.  I think beach weddings that are too themed fall into the cheesy and overdone category.  I like to think my lack of a theme counteracted the fact that it was on the beach :)

I totally tried to talk H into that one (because it was the best non 1 Corinthians one). He definitely shot me down.

Taffeta. I am sure there are some pretty ones out there, but I went to DB and every one I tried on made me feel like I had on one of the swishy jumpsuits.

specialk84

I do not like tuxes with vests, colored or otherwise. However, I was not the only one getting married, so H picked out what he and the GM would wear. My plea for a cummerbund was ignored.

-Pickup dresses

-Multiple FG/RB

-Cake smooshing

-Garter tosses

There's more, I'm sure.

It's NMS either.  I always think about my first skating costume, from 1989.  It was neon orange with neon pink bows, and a picture of Ariel on it.  Yes, what you are imagining is just as bad.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: NMS : My CW was a BM for a beach wedding and apparently they cannot even reserve a spot, someone just had to get there at 6am to set up an area for them. Like how do you put the location on the invitations? "We are trying to get across from the pier, but if we aren't there start looking around." That would not be fun for me.
Posted by ahhhitsshannyn[/QUOTE]

My BIL got married on the beach and I think it might have been a similar thing. Also, the time on the invitation was listed as "dusk." No one knew when the fuuuck to show up. The only time you could look up was sunset, but then we couldn't figure out if dust was right BEFORE sunset or right AFTER sunset. It was not well organized, to say the least.

I know at least one of these will be unpopular -

I don't like DJs who serve as "master of ceremonies."  I don't like how they basically yell to announce the couple.  And why does anyone need to be introduced?  We obviously know who they are.

I also really hate matching bridesmaid dresses, like matching at all - even color.  That could come from being a bridesmaid in approximately 47 million weddings.

I like pink and orange as my outfit for hanging out in the summer time.  Just not for my wedding, the pictures of which I will have for everrrrrrrrr

My mother decorated the pews.  I begged her not to, but I lost that one.  She would have happily turned the whole wedding into a 1980s wedding extravaganze if I had let her.

Pretty much everything listed here:

- Pick ups, bling, beading or any other sort of embellishment on a wedding dress that isn't created solely out of structured fabric.
- Roses.  I hate freaking roses
- fake flowers
- Unity candles/sand pouring.  I just think they are gimicks and just there to fill time.  Plus, I wouldn't want coloured sand in a vase in my house.
- Matching vests/ties to bridesmaids (unless the bm's are in a neutral like black or white).  Coloured vests are very prom.
- Sashes on dresses
- garter toss/bouquet toss, anything other than the first dance/parent dances that takes up valuable fun time.
- Cake smashing
- Stupid not funny cake toppers
- Regular guest books
- Church weddings when the couple doesn't go to the church
- limos
- massive wedding parties
- anything money related
- veils
- tiaras

That's all that came to my head for now.

Garter tosses skeeve me out.  I'm not a fan of toasts, either. 

angelstar975

Barefoot beach weddings are NMS at all. It just seems too casual to me. I know heels on the beach would be impractical, so I guess beach weddings in general just aren't my thing. I also don't like garter tosses, pink in weddings, which is strange bc it's my favorite color or cake smashing. I'm going to pay good money to have my makeup done, I don't want it messed up. Andplusalso, I hate cake.

MyUserName1

I wish I could post a photo of my co-workers "friend's" daughter's wedding.  The bridesmaids wore dirty white tank tops, ripped tutus and dirty bare feet.  That's definitely NMS.

Posted by Habs2Hart[/QUOTE]

See, I don't like non-regular guest books. Probably because I didn't really care about having a guest book in general and just got one because I knew people would wonder where it was. I can't imagine hanging up and "alternative" guest book somewhere in my house.

I was at a wedding on Friday where they did this, and it was actually super cute.  They were dancing to a slow song and then a rock and roll song came on and someone threw them hats and blow up guitars. It was adorable.

I have no clue what was going through the bride's mind.  The degree to which I didn't understand those choices is staggering.
