[QUOTE]Remember-it's your wedding and it doesn't have to follow a rule book. It's your party and you should do it the way you want! :) Please don't follow this very bad advice. There ARE rules for weddings. It's called ETIQUETTE, which is the formal name for good manners. A wedding stops being "the couple's day" the moment they choose to involve others in it.

Who says anyone needs to follow a set of rules...getting married should be about celebrating your union-not checking things off a list.The only reason there are "rules" is because many times brides feel forced into having their ceremony the way someone else tells them it has to be. I've had friends and relatives who've taken advice (many times unrequested) from others, and ended up regretting those choices because it wasn't them.
If you don't want a white dress, don't. If you want to get married in Vegas, do it. If you want a fun title for your nephew, do it. Your ceremony should be a reflection of who you are as a couple, not following some checklist. Yes, it is nice to consider your family and friends, but it <em>is </em>your day. It is about the two of you. If it weren't, it would be just another party.

Ignore the stuffy/snarky brides who think everything has to be exactly according to tradition.
I will now block you retread.

[QUOTE]Somewhere between the extremes of "Follow all the rules and traditions!" and "Do whatever you want!" lies a happy medium. True of most things in life.

Truth. And, I don't think anyone is saying, "You can't do that because no one has ever done it!" It's more, "What's the point in doing that?" It's not going to make the kid feel more special or loved. It's not going to make the guests think that the wedding is somehow that much cooler. It's just a mark of insecurity that everything has to be somehow different or the wedding won't be good enough.<div>
</div><div>I had a very untraditional wedding, but every tradition we broke was broken for a purpose. Sure, some things we initially looked for alternatives for just to be different, but every one of those alternatives, from the unity cocktail to the cookie cake, really and truly meant something to us. The point of having a non-traditional wedding is to have a wedding that's more authentic and true to who the couple is, not just to be weird for weirdness' sake. I think it's really important for marrying couples to be mindful of why they're making the choices they are, and to aim for more than just "It's tradition" or "it's different."</div>
