brides that make my head hurt

[Andara Bledin]

Sis, this is the color you're wearing. You ARE allowed to wear a tux. (She didn't though.)

This reminds me; my one female cousin is going to be married in some sort of pants suit. I don't think she's had anything to do with a dress or skirt since she was a very young girl.

if i ever get married i have a few ideas but nothing that can be altered, i only have polans because i was once engaged.
either simple dress (one my mother would like) someplace cool and green with like 20 people max or dressed as the beast from Rose and Thorn and have a fairytale theme wedding with people in costumes buecause its a gay wedding might as well have fun

[CaroPhoenix]

My wedding colors were purple and green. Men wore the purple, the bridesmaids wore the green. (One of my bridesmaids was pregnant & if she wore purple, she'd look like an eggplant).

My mother wore the same mauve dress she wore to my sister's wedding. I asked her specifically to keep it and wear it to my wedding. She did wear it, like I requested. I thought she looked beautiful!

I want to play "Black Celebration" at my wedding.

My wedding dress could have been a fiasco, but I went into it with a "well, aren't I an idiot for waiting so long" attitude about it and had a lot of fun. The first dress I picked was beautiful, but I got a call a week later that was pretty much 'please don't be upset, we can't get your dress in time for your wedding, come in this week and we'll help you find another'. I was disappointed, but it was just a dress I was going to wear once.

I went in alone on a snowy Tuesday morning to a DEAD store and three bored saleswomen. I had their total attention for nearly two hours before a second woman came in, and I tried on dresses and shoes and jewelry (and compared the merits of my kender ranger to one girl's half-elven druid for half an hour) and had way more fun than I thought it would be. I wound up buying the jewelry there too just because I'd had so much fun.

For the other dresses I just bought the cloth patches from the store and sent them to people. Sis, this is the color you're wearing. You ARE allowed to wear a tux. (She didn't though.) Mom, this is what Sis is wearing. MIL, this is what my sis is wearing...uh... *calls Mom* Mom, MIL wants to know what color you're wearing...

Getting the mothers to just buy their dresses and stop insisting the other needed to go first so their dresses would coordinate was the hardest part.

I would be the groom, so my opinion doesn't really matter (), but I do have a few things I demand at my wedding.

1. The bride's hair will be DOWN, not up. (Yes, I am serious.)
2. The wedding should be outside.
3. She can't have a problem with my best man choice (see below).
4. She can't be a bridezilla!

I don't think that is too much to ask of any woman. Do you?

My wedding is going to be in wet suits with the formal accessories, standing out in the water of the Pacific Ocean. Now I just have to find a bride that will go along with that idea.

I once dated a dive instructor. I would not be surprised if someone like her WOULD go along with that idea, since she spends so much time in the water anyways!

Mine was a masquerade wedding. The only rule was that you had to have a mask (we even provided them for people who didn't bring their own).

All I can really tell you is that the men will be wearing kilts.

My friends' wedding back in 2005 did both of these. We all wore masks, and the groomsmen wore kilts. The bride and groom tried to convince me to wear a kilt as well, but I was having none of it.

Oh, and one of the grooms was a woman.

I do think you mean grooomsmen, as grooms are the guys getting married!

That being said, whoever and whenever I marry, I already know that my "best man" is going to be a woman, my best friend Neets. She said as long as she can wear a dress, she is fine with that!

Speaking of which, my little sister's husband's best man was also a woman, the friend that introduced my sister to him!

I want a red dress that I can wear again; no white puffball for me, no way.

My little sister that I mentioned above got married in a simple and elegant red dress.

My brother and his girlfriend were both in matching faceless jester outfits, and my aunt was in a different sort of jester outfit, as she considered marriage a joke (hers went very sour at the end).

I APPROVE OF THIS WARDROBE!

That wouldn't surprise me in the least.

They're only interested in that fairy tale wedding; they don't actually want to be married.

^-.-^

Actually, that sounds like the perfect descriptions .... me? I love being married and hated the idea of arranging a wedding which is why we went to the justice of the peace.

[Andara Bledin]

It seems to me that the bridezillas end up divorced at a much higher rate than regular brides ... my brother married a bridezilla the first time around and she divorced him 9 months later.

When you elope, that's when you get married by a JP, right?

pretty much - mrDrone and I used a JP that we picked out of the listing at town hall.

I agree, I pity the poor grooms of the bridezillas ... I play wedding enforcer for my friends when they get married [sort of my bridal gift to the couple, I make sure that all the details are followed and everything happens smoothly. Im good at it, and I can work with just about any professional wedding planner I have met so far - even the really annoying guy who insisted on keeping a teacup poodle in a 'manbag' with himself no matter what.]

My best friend with be in a Tux and standing on my side and my "Best Man" and the groom will be in a Kilt. ^_^ No idea what kinda dress I want, but it won't be traditional. Hell I might wear a kilt myself.

[candyshopgirl]

God I would have never had my mom wear a spagetti strap dress to my wedding.Dad would be touching and rubbing her all dayAnd probadly singing "my humps" again to her like he did on the way to the casino. Again
Old people sex...

Anyways I have never understood the bridezilla crap.The best and most memoriable parts of my wedding were the mistakes.Like dad stepping on my veil and knocking me down or when the best man threw the wedding rings in the garbage can with a used kleenex. Yes this is how my life is.

Interesting that there is a general consensus that it is wrong for the husband to weigh in on the wife's cleavage but fine for people who have never met the wife to weigh in on what underwear she needs to wear.

Visible bras are tacky and strapless bras don't do much. Spaghetti straps without built-in bras suck.

I don't care if she wears a bra or not. A long line strapless bra would indeed hold her up. I didn't mean to imply that she "needs" one, but that a good foundation garment would hold up the girls, thus making the straps and dress more comfortable. It won't make the dress cover more of her, though.

I want to have a Ren Faire wedding at my home faire and my mother can purse her lips and glare and deal with it! I already have several friends to choose from who could make my dress.

My mom had two church weddings and both marriages ended badly. For her third marriage to my dad they eloped to Lake Tahoe and it's been nearly 30 years. I don't know if she was a bridezilla though. Technically we don't know about marriage number two. But one of her childhood friends got drunk one night and blabbed to my little sister.

Karma came around and rewarded me for being polite to those people.

This evening, a young woman and her consort walked into the store and puchased a discontinued, discounted dress. It a\has a train. They are flying to Las Vegas tomorrow. Could we bustle the dress with safety pins? Not only that, but we could leave three pins attached to the lining, three to the dress, so all Hubby-to-be has to do is hook the safety pins together.

She was grateful. I felt fulfilled.
