Traditional Weddings Vs. Non-Traditional Weddings ~Nimiwae~

When you think wedding you think bride in a lovely white gown and the groom in a nice tux awaiting his love to walk down the aisle of the church and into his life. There are bridesmaids, flowers girls, a maid of honor and a best man. Hundreds or thousands of people sit in the pews watching the beautiful ceremony. Then there is the thing that husbands can’t see the bride before the wedding as its bad luck.

For me, this is not a perfect wedding. I may be only 14, soon 15, but I know this is not what I want. Tradition is something I don’t want in my life! Wedding wise anyway. For my wedding I want it to be outside at night on a full moon and all the stars visible. (It’s a shame we can’t control weather!) I was thinking somewhere exotic and far in the woods near a waterfall. My dress will not be white, it will be either silver or blue. Or maybe a combination of both. My husband will not have to wear a tux if he doesn’t want to. But It should match at least, LOL. I am also going to have one of my dear friends, or one of my husbands friends marry us. (There’s a special certificate you can get to do this.) We are each going to write our own vows as well. But it is many years off and I’m sure it will cost lots of money so I can only wait. My parents always tell me I had better marry a rich many because I have expensive taste, LOL

There are people out there who have weddings far from the norm. So, what was your wedding like and how do you feel about the traditions?

Date: 6/10/2003 6:39:00 PM  From Authorid: 45630    I'm engaged and My fiancee and I are planning a medieval theme for the bridal party. My self and my two grroms men are going to be dressed like the three musketeers and the bride and the bridesmaids are going to be dressed in medieval dresses my my fiancee wearing purple. We will have a pig on the spit for dinner as well. There are going to be some deviations from the medieval theme though. She is walking down the aisle to a Depeche Mode song and our wedding dance will be to Guns n Roses' "Sweet Child of Mine" (the first song we danced to as an engageg couple). We will have karaoke there and as part of my speech I will be singing the Guns n Roses hit "Patience" to her. The bridal party will be given pewter goblets as presents as well.  
Date: 6/10/2003 6:43:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 58334    Oh wow that sounds really great! I'm so jealous, LOL. That is definatley very non-traditional. Wish I could be there. :-)  
Date: 6/10/2003 6:50:00 PM  From Authorid: 3688    my wedding wasn't traditional....we had a small ceremony in a wedding chapel surrounded by our friends...and our vows were modern....it was just what we wanted   
Date: 6/10/2003 6:51:00 PM  From Authorid: 8278    my husband and i knew each other only a month when we said "hey, lets get married". and we did. lol. we just had a justice of the peace thing with no reception. it was such a sudden and short notice thing, nobody could make it (except a few).that was almost 10 years ago. part of me wishes we had done things different. we were young (he was 18 and i was 19) and we weren't thinking. LOL. but i love him and i don't regret the marriage. my brother is getting married next year and him and his fiance are arguing because he wants a disco theme. lol  
Date: 6/10/2003 7:19:00 PM  From Authorid: 15675    I HATE TRADITIONAL WEDDINGS! lol I've only been to 2 but I don't care for them. I'd like something along the Hindi or Wicca lines. Like a Wicca ceremony outside in a nice place but with Hindi clothes hehe I love those outfits! Ah heck whom I kidding? I'll probably end up with a traditional wedding but I dont want it!  
Date: 6/10/2003 7:23:00 PM  From Authorid: 20750    Lol! My wedding is gonna be different! I have a black & white dress I'm wearing & all parties of the wedding are wearing black tuxes! Even the girls!  
Date: 6/10/2003 7:46:00 PM  From Authorid: 6915    Well....white flowing dress..... mass outside....... on a beach.... in Hawaii...as the sun sets. THATS what I want:0)  
Date: 6/10/2003 7:50:00 PM  From Authorid: 53549    hehe i dunno what i want really ive thought of haveing a really pretty weding outside with lots of flowers and just a simple dress.. maybe an emerald green color.. and it doesnt matter what my husband would wear something that would look good on him.. but i know i want lots of flowers! and just close friends and family there probably no more than 70 people.. ^.^  
Date: 6/10/2003 7:51:00 PM  From Authorid: 16845    call me a sucker, but I'm going for tradition... Whoot! 11 1/2 months to go LOL  
Date: 6/10/2003 8:05:00 PM  From Authorid: 49037    I didn't want a traditional wedding, either. It really upset my mom, but I had to do what I wanted. my husband and i got married in a Victorian wedding chapel about 6 months ago. it was simple, but nice, and we really loved it.  
Date: 6/10/2003 8:17:00 PM  From Authorid: 57232    My wedding dress is going to be the dress that Sleeping Beauty Barbie wears! With some alterations, like I'm not going to have a Victorian collar. And I have faith that my friend Dontavious will wake up from his coma (June 21st will be a year of being in one) but I want him to be a "Bridesman" and I sort of want a dog to be at my side instead of a maid of honor! Maybe one of my idiot dogs! And I might have my Uncle walk me down the aisle instead of my father and if for some reason if my Grandmother were to pass away before me getting married I'd have a blown up picture of her in frame to sit in a chair so not only will she be there in spirit she will be there in another form!  
Date: 6/10/2003 9:02:00 PM  From Authorid: 53900    my husband and I got married by a notary public in a mailbox place. We could not afford a ceremony at all and did not have a honeymoon. Here is my ideal ceremony if he and I renewed our vows...on a beach at sunset in a simple white gown with a flower in my hair. My husband would be wearing a casual suit or slacks. We would have a canopy with loads of flowers everywhere...it would be just me and him the minister and our kids. My sons would have on matching outfits and my daughter would wear a long light blue maybe yellow dress. I would want all three envolved in the wedding also. We wuld also write our own vows...thats about it. I guess that is kinda untraditional  
Date: 6/10/2003 9:10:00 PM  From Authorid: 53900    Oh yea before I actually got married here was my ideal wedding....a long flowing white dress with a train about 25 feet long the front has a sweetheart neckline with pearls stitched in....I wanted my groom to wear a black tux with teal trim and I wanted pink roses and pink satin bows adorning every square inch of the church...I wanted to be married in a big church the one I went to as a child would have done nicely and I wanted every family member and friend to be there probably somewhere around 3-400 people since we both have such huge families. I guess that is kinda traditional...makes me sick now though it is so sickingly sweet LOL  
Date: 6/10/2003 9:14:00 PM  From Authorid: 28190    My Wedding, I am planning RIGHT now and its has a little tradition in it, but for the most part is far from Tradition. My fiancé and I are having a Renaissance/Medival themed Wedding, with ALL the Attire being made by hand By ME. I have most of my dress made and most of the groom and groom's mens attires made as well. A lovely lady that is a member here named Eimaj sent us ideas from her Ren Wedding, and we are probably going to have our own vows as well. We are being married in a Historical Park here In Alabama, near where I live, right in front of the man made waterfall/mill. Its a beautiful spot with beautiful wildflowers and mowed grass. I just hope that it doesnt rain We are having the traditional minister and the bible sayings as well as some beautiful Ren instrumental music that I found on CD in a local store. My Dress is Crushed white velvet, and Satin... with the starting of Sapphire, siver, and a hint of magenta piping and accessories. Nakoma's Tudor is Sapphire blue (lovely color) with Silver Piping, the magenta will be brought in within a flower in small button hole that I have put into it. He will be wearing either a short or long cloak and will be dressed as a king. I cannot wait until I can say I do and wear my dress and see my wonderful fiancé wearing the attire I lovingly made for him *hugs*  
Date: 6/10/2003 10:25:00 PM  From Authorid: 26452    Wow, your wedding sounds beautiful. I'm not much for traditional weddings either.  
Date: 6/11/2003 11:53:00 AM  From Authorid: 53052    it's a very romantic sweet idea... i'm not a traditional wedding person also... there is one flaw comming to mind when i picture the weddign you describle(actually a few) after flying allt eh guests in.. your asking them to alter thier sleep pattern to stay up all night for the wedding and after party not too many people can physically handle that.. and you won't be able to get any good pictures at night(maybe that's the praticaly side of me) you do really want pictures of your wedding though  
Date: 6/15/2003 4:23:00 PM  From Authorid: 35720    I'm all about tradition and FLOWERS.. lots of flowers at my wedding.. in a huge cathedral with a beautiful white dress. Beautiful dresses and all of my family present.. only a little over a year away.. ((sigh)) I love my fiancee and I cannot wait to be married.
