Just dh and I and our moms, overlooking the Pacific at sunset. I bought my dress off the rack, on sale. He wore his dress blues. He picked my flowers. It was more important to us to enjoy our honeymoon than a 15 minute ceremony, so we stayed at a 5-star resort for 4 days before we came home.

I still have the dress, but I’m positive DD won’t want to wear it and why should she? I just hope she doesn’t get caught up in the Bridezilla nonsense if and when she marries.

I’m definitely practical-minded myself & would put my money towards savings rather than getting a big fancy dress and feeding 250 guests.

Outdoor. 50 people or less. Very little catering. Lots of celebrating. I would ideally to spend all of the money that most folks spend on a wedding toward something long-lasting – like a downpayment on a house.

I admit to fantasizing about my wedding day, too (okay, and I watch Bridezillas on occasion…)

@ Annie Spandex — Oh no! Well at least it made her happy, right? :)

@ Dollyann — I like your anime wedding fantasy. :) It’s interesting what you say about romance. Personally I’m always hoping for romance, but love and companionship are the most important things.

I was a preteen anime fangirl who wanted Japanese lanterns and cherry blossoms on all the tables (just for effect–total cultural appropriation). As I’ve gotten older though I’ve really gotten disillusioned with the idea of romance. At this point in my life, I just don’t believe it exists. I think love exists, but that’s different to me. But I don’t plan on getting married or having a dream wedding or anything like that. And, so, I’m not much into bride culture, weddings, or anything like that.

i also understand how this could EASILY get out of hand – thinking we deserve a certain “perfect day” to wed on.
i do think i’d have some type of ceremony – not a typical wedding, and i fantasize about it a lot.

i think it’s mostly important for friends and family to see your transition from solo life to couplehood. with that said, i would probably allow the plans to be made mostly by other people, as i see my opinion mattering very little. i will be happy if my soul mate is standing by my side, regardless of the shananigans surrounding us.

I do like to watch wedding shows of Bridezillas. :D so amusing, but horribly humiliating for women everywhere!!

I’d like to tell you how i feel about this but not publicly. i’d prefer through email, can you email me and i’ll write back?
