terrible ideas people have had about your wedding

pinkshorts27 · January 2014

Molly&Domenic Well the venue is the golf club I basically grew up at so that reflects my family pretty well. We've done every Easter Brunch there that I can remember. But things we are looking at doing outside of that:

James Bond movie names as our table names

Our cake topper will soccer related (we are working on finding one in the US where both the girl and guy play soccer, not just the girl cheering for the guy... we met playing soccer)

Our edible favors will be my favorite candy and his favorite candy (mine = some sort of chocolate, his = saltwater taffy). We hope the Oregon taffy is going to be pretty cool for some of our guests who are from landlocked states.

We won't be doing bouquet toss or garter toss. We will give my bouquet to my mother because we are getting married on my her 30th anniversary with my dad.

Beyond that we are still working on everything because our wedding is in a year.

We have plenty of time to develop the rest. But I'm sure the first dance and processional music will reflect on us.

I don't think this is necessarily a bad idea. But FI really wants to wear a tux. And he wants to have one made - he doesn't even want to rent one. Technically he shouldn't be wearing a tux because our ceremony starts at 12:30pm. I know some side-eye wearing a tux before 6pm. But I don't care. He's going to look freaking adorable and hot in it.

My FI thinks that we are going to be dancing to 'Fat Bottomed Girls', and that he's walking down the aisle to Metallica.

There will be no "Fat Bottomed Girls" at my wedding, but right now our top choice for processional is piano version of Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters"... so walking down aisle to Metallica isn't completely unheard of.

My friend keeps saying she is seeing a Great Gatsby theme for my wedding. I keep telling her that the theme is "Get Married." That if we wanted to base our theme on a tragic story, I'd do Romeo and Juliet, because then I can do favors with little daggers and vials of poison.

Next time she says it just respond with "That sounds like a great idea, which two guests are going to die?" Because it's not a Gatsby party unless two people are dead and everyone is disillusioned with the jazz age as a whole.

Agreed. Also, it would be incredibly fitting if your FI was kind of a creepy stalker and spent the last five years obsessing about you and buying random things he thinks would impress you.

And at the end of the wedding you have to end up with some other dude who treats you like crap.

shrekspeare don't worry, that was nixed early on.

We will stick to tamer names.

I don't plan to do a bouquet or garter toss either. I am not a fan of those, and they can embarrass people. When we get married, my boyfriend will have pink and black hair, and the groomsmen could have any type of rainbow hair. We are having a cake topper with the bride and groom holding guns, since he is into guns a lot. I am into Disney movies, so I'm asking my bridesmaids to choose a Disney girl for inspiration. That does not mean it's a costume party. If the girl likes Cinderella, she gets a pail blue dress. I only want to make sure the lengths are similar. I got some grief from people from wanting totally mismatched bridesmaids dresses. It cool though. I am doing it either way.

Oh, and I'm not walking down to traditional wedding music, but it's still a beautiful song. After we get married, we want "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" to play.

Funny you say that, it's kind of how we got together... I dated a total jerk for about five years and knew my FI as a peripheral friend of our group. Towards the end of my relationship with jerk guy, my FI kissed me, out of the blue, at a St. Patty's day party. I thought he was just drunk, but he told me later that he had been waiting for me to break up with the jerk. Haha!

We were married in the city where we live, but my H has a ton of family in his family's home country who couldn't make the trip. We decided to go there as part of our HM so that I would have an opportunity to meet his extended family. His mother decided to throw a party for the family while we were there.

At first, it was just a party, but she kept pushing to make it into a "second wedding/second reception." I was good with the big party, but when she wanted me to bring my wedding dress and reenact or vows during Saturday mass, I had to put my foot down. We were not about to have a reenactment a week after getting married.

HAHA that's almost the exact same story as me and my H!
