Wedding Woes

Need your (bad) advice.

Hey WW,

I know that I only come here when I need something, but I’m hoping you can provide me with more funny material for an article.

Basically, I am looking to hear the worst wedding advice that you received.

Thanks in advance.

Annie

    Do you want *actual* advice, or can we make stuff up? <-- This would be funnier.

    I want the bad advice that other people gave you. I guess that I would never know if it were make up or not.

    Thanks.

    "You have to wear a white dress, or else people will start thinking that you're not a virgin."

    This was from my grandmother to me, a thirty year old bride who had been living with her FI for six years.

    It's YOUR wedding and this day is all about YOU!

    You should invite people you know won't come so they will send you gifts.

    People expect you to be a bridezilla, so it's okay to act like one.

    Type up and print generic TY notes ahead of time, and just slap a label with our names on them instead of signing them...that way it is much faster and easier!

    My 1st wedding was a variation on this theme.  My xMIL had gone to various graduations, showers, weddings, etc. for her CWs and acquaintenances and we needed to invite them because they HAD to give us presents.  Most did and we ended up with, literally, a dozen crystal candy dishes.

    During the sermon, our priest said something about keeping Jesus between us at all times. Our super-mature groomsmen giggled through the rest of the ceremony about threesomes with Jesus.
