What kind of wedding

couawilou · April 2011

Hello fellow October brides...
I'm curious as to what kind of wedding you all are having and what are some of the traditions you will be doing...
We are having a Catholic/Portuguese wedding, we will have the Seafood buffet at midnight for sure :-) along with lots of sweet stuff!
Looking forward to hearing the different types of weddings from all of you.

i want a Catholic/Portuguese wedding =(

jackiebean26 · April 2011

we actually arent doing anything traditional. were not getting married in a church, im not wearing a veil, were seeing each other before the ceremony.....

so starts a non traditional wedding tradition!

couawilou · April 2011

jackie, I have to say I love your pic! Your man is like "HELP"!! hihi... I think that you guys seeing each other before hand will relieve some of the stress for sure...

shoebie · April 2011

We will be doing a catolic church wedding reception to follow

mana8503 · April 2011

We want a simple country type wedding with a touch of class haha. Either of us are religious, but we are keeping up with some traditions like not seeing each other before the wedding.

Heath66 · April 2011

We are having a traditional Orthodox ceremony, complete with crowns and our right hands being tied together. FI is Orthodox I am not so this kind of wedding is new to me.

ETA- If you have seen "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" that is pretty much what our wedding is going to be like.

irisheyezrsmilen · April 2011

semi non traditional with a nice touch of "us" we are trying to make it as non-traditional and unique as we can without hearing any sh*t from my mom lol

after a year she has finally stopped lecturing me about not getting married in a church, now all i get is an eye roll lol

We are doing a Fall rustic wedding with hints of Halloween

We are getting married at a farm...ceremony by a cute little pond (or in a nearby barn if it rains) and reception at another nearby farm that is renovated and has heat/ac. There will be lots of leaves, haybales, cornstalks, pumpkins, fall colors, etc. Plan on having a Trick or Treat Halloween candy buffet and another added Halloween feature that my FI thinks people will find tasteless for a wedding, but if people really know me I think they will see it and think...yep..that's her...I get it

Not going to be too many people, have about 140 on the guest list now but I need to revist that. I just LOVE Fall and Halloween sooo much

Looking forward to putting this all together!

We're looking pretty traditional, actually-- getting married in a Catholic church, reception in a hotel ballroom. We're definitely going more traditional than I expected, but I know we'll throw in a few things that are unique to us. But there's no question we've got some pretty classic and traditional elements planned!

jackiebean26 · April 2011

coauwilou- haha the pic is from our local boards siggy challenge, we had only been dating for a month when this was taken!

mana- you should be glad you dont have hoffer, he pretty much requires you guys see each other before so he can get all the pictures. we has already planned to see each other before due to limited time between the ceremony & reception (same place) but still.

mana8503 · April 2011

Jackie - really? My friend used him (that's where my obsession started) Summer '09 and they didn't see each other before. I'm actually realizing 8 hours might be too much... (getting ready starts a 3-340, receptions ends at 10). I might be emailing my photog soon and see if we can cut 1-2 hours for rights to the engagement pics.

couawilou · April 2011

thanks everyone for sharing your types of weddings you are all having..

couawilou · April 2011

sorry me again, what is the siggy challenge?

mana8503 · April 2011

Coua - my siggy challenge is from my local board, Jackie's too!

rbehm521 · April 2011

we're having an outdoor non-religious ceremony by a lake at our reception venue with some semi traditional features (father-daughter dance, etc. even though i don't want to dance haha). we're also gonna have some stuff that really shows our personalities though, like a zombie cake topper

couawilou · April 2011

thanks mana! still learning around here hihi

mana8503 · April 2011

Coua - haha no problem! I'm sure once we get going on this board we can have a siggy challenge, like WR: shoes, flowers, venues, etc etc. Our local board has a lot of married ladies on there so it's usually not really wedding related. So it's like first pic together, warm weather, vacation, St patty's day etc. It's fun to see all the pics!

Unfornately my first pic with FI was after being really sick... thus why I'm so pale haha.

Patriot0107 · April 2011

rbe...zombie cake toppers rock! I was going to do the skeletons

May take a look at the zombies too

undyingmizery · April 2011

I want to start of by saying I FREAKIN LOVE ZOMBIES.... My BM's and I are wearing zombie chokers

there will be other hints of zombies in my wedding. Ok moving on...

I am having an 1800s gothic victorian wedding with a poetic feel. We are having an outdoors wedding ceremony and we will be handfasting.

mana8503 · April 2011

Miz - what is handfasting?

undyingmizery · April 2011

It is a pagan/celtic ceremony of which the elements of life bind the two of you through symbolic knots. We are making a binding promise of love to each other instead of a "god" making that bond.

mana8503 · April 2011

Interesting... never seen that but it sounds cute.

couawilou · April 2011

mana: you look fine in your pic. I would def participate in the siggy challenge thing! There is one that I thought of doing, halloween picture of you and your FI, would that be a good one? My local board doesn't have any, not many ppl on my local board, i'm from canada toronto.

Love the different types of wedding that everyone is having.

<div>Seriously, Miz, the more I hear about your wedding (not that I've stalked your planning blog or anything... ok, yes I have), the more excited I am to see how it all plays out!</div><div>
</div><div>Everyone's wedding sounds great! I might steal ideas from everyone :)</div>

BMBrinson · April 2011

My FI is jewish and I am not so we will be mixing some traditions. We will do the glass breaking and a Huppah. We are getting married in a 1930's art deco style train station thats now a museum. The reception will be there too. Its traditional wiht a spin...every time I think about a traditional part of the wedding like favors, save the dates, escort cards I find myself finding an alternative thats more interesting! This could get me into trouble lol!

couawilou · April 2011

I'm adding alot of my own touches for our wedding, I'm doing alot myself which according to my family it's not traditional, they expect me to pay for everything, but since we're on a budget, I'm doing it myself!

BlingBride12 · April 2011

We are getting married at a church, but the Pastor is letting us make the ceremony our own, which I love. We will be doing a wine box ceremony..so excited for this! One of the reasons we are getting married at the church ( I belong too, but don't go to that much) is because there is a flagpole/flag outside that was put in, in memory of my grandpa that passed. It may sound silly but it makes me feel like he will be there more. We were very close.
I believe that we are doing things more non-traditional than traditional. It's going to be very "us"

couawilou · April 2011

Blingbride: I think that will be a very special moment for you having the flag there. That adds a more personal touch to your wedding, which I think is very sweet.

mana8503 · April 2011

Cou - haha I would not have a halloween pic to join in that one.
Year 1 - I had the flu and I think my then BF had 24 hr duty
Year 2 - I was in an accident the 29th, the other car ran a red light. I was recovering all weekend

I have no idea what this year will bring!

Blingbride - what is a wine box ceremony?

couawilou · April 2011

Mana: I hope this year brings you luck and plenty of good things!!!
