Re: What do you actually remember from all the weddings you been
You know something,
I don't remember details of weddings so much but I think that I remember unusual things. I would like to say however that I fussed about my flowers and dress etc not necessarily for the people who were coming - although I didnt' want them to say that it was awful - but to creat a certain mood. We wanted to have a tropical feel for our wedding so that it would remind us of home since we couldn't go back home to be married as so many people who we really wanted to be there couldn't afford it. I think the fuss should be less about what people might think and a lot about what is meaningful to you. You know there are some people who go to the JP and do it that way. I mean whatever it is that expresses the essence of the joining of your lives, your roots, and anything else that you believe is important for your marriage to survive, those are the things that I think you should focus on so that when things get stressful you'll remember that you're doing it for a 'higher' reason than just having a pretty wedding you know?
Re: What do you actually remember from all the weddings you been
This is a great topic. It's always good to have things like this to help get you by while planning your wedding. Because we all know palnning can get a little hectic. I mostly remember everything except for the songs. Because I'm a detail person and I like planning so I try to remember everything. When I go to wedding I mostly look forward to decorations, attire and special moments.
Re: What do you actually remember from all the weddings you been
I remember every detail, which is why I am going crazy planning my own wedding. I want all those little details HANDLED!
You can't forsee every hitch but proper planning can prevent some problems.
I went to one reception where whoever ordered favors and centerpieces did not order enough to cover every table....so tables were half done...I also remember a wedding in February of this year when the groom sang about doing this and that and communicating to the bride and then she got on the alter and said she would submit and obey and all that stuff which is fine to me (this is what the bible says-and we are BOTH saying it) but I sit in married and engaged couples class with that same couple every Sunday, and one of the biggest problems they have is communication and her doing what she said she would do so, just don't say anything on that alter cause it sounds good! Do what you say you're going to do or at least strive to do your best and not act like you forgot, because my FH complains about that Sunday in class about them. And she is 3 months pregnant already! (it only took 5 months:)
I don't like when mistakes or problems are so obvious everyone knows and can see it, and it was because someone didn't plan it right-not unforseeable...I know that if something doesn't go as planned we will definitely be moving on, and not dwelling on it. I have seen when the bouquet was not given to the bride but its not a big deal cause really we are looking at that dress!
Re: What do you actually remember from all the weddings you been
*BUMP*
1. The bride's dress (couldn't tell you jack about the men tho')
2. Punctuality! went to a wedding one time that started almost 2 hrs later :(
3. Couples interaction with guests at the reception-I think you atlease should acknowledge your guests by speaking at some point during the reception. same wedding (2 hrs late) the next week at work she didn't even know I was there (and by the way it was not THAT many people there) also don't like the seperation thing, brides family/friends all at one table or hanging together and grooms at another. hey it is a celebration!! can't we all just get along?
4. Food
5. cake (not the look but the taste!)
Re: What do you actually remember from all the weddings you been
I usually remember:
1. If the food was good
2. IF the reception music was good and the atmosphere was upbeat and not stuffy
3. If someones cell phone rings during the ceremony
4. Unique things that ive never seen at a wedding before.
Example ( The last wedding I went to, the bride did a dance with the help of her BM for her new husband during the ceremony. They sat him in a chair in the middle of the dance floor and the BM surrounded him in a large circle. The bride stood in front of him and lip-sync to the song and danced to the music. The bridesmand also had a routine that they did. It was an upbeat love song and very cute.

Re: What do you actually remember from all the weddings you been
I usually remember:
1. how the children look
2. If the MOH helps the bride or poses for the people (LOL)
3. If the food was good.
4. Music at eh reception - if I had fun
5. Special or humorous moments
At my uncle's wedding, during the father/daughter dance her father kept turning to the band snapping his fingers saying "1,2,3 again!" After the third oncore - she yelled out "that's enough" and pulled hiim off the dance floor! They also had their reception at the same site a Chicago Bulls fundraiser was happening so we met Michael Jordan!
Re: What do you actually remember from all the weddings you been
i only remember the food if it was really, really good, and i remember the dancing and that's about it. the last wedding i went to the only thing i could tell you about the bride is that she seemed stuck up and she had on too much makeup and it was the wrong color.
Re: What do you actually remember from all the weddings you been
Since I've attended more weddings including my own: I definitely remember the dress! Especially if it was unique or uncommon. I actually still get compliments from my dress. My favorite was a wedding done in two weeks where the bride wore a creme fitted dress and had on the most blinging neckalace I've ever seen. I remember the bridal party: If they were unique like linen suites for the guys or different colored or non-traditional dresses. I don't remember music unless someone sung it good or bad, and I remember any problems that stick out...Of course I remember good or bad food, but I haven't run into any...I remember weddings that were done without trying: i.e cheap....That being said: the girl with the fitted dress and linen suits for the guys spent 2000.00! And it was beautiful from star to finish. The reception location was a community center on campus, but the caterer and all her friends came through!
Re: What do you actually remember from all the weddings you been
FAVORS, FAVORS, FAVORS. I always remember favors. My fh's cousin got married and they gave out sunflower seeds. I mean it was in an organza bag from the dollar store and filled with davids sun flower seeds. It was so tacky I wanted to go open there card box and get my dang on money back. It was so tasteless. Everyone that I showed the favor too was shocked.
Re: What do you actually remember from all the weddings you been
I tend to notice:
1. Wedding colors and style of BM dresses
2. If ivitations & programs are nice
3. Look on Bride's face when she enters
4. If soloists are good
5. Reception location
6. Bar arrangements and quality of food
7. Uniqueness of centerpieces and favors
8. How good DJ is
9. How coordinated everything was
"I'm a work in progress, God is not through me yet"
Re: What do you actually remember from all the weddings you been
Come to think about it, I dont remember much at all about the decor, favors etc...
I do remember:
1. Wedding Party attire
2. The vocalist and the songs
3. The officiant
4. If anyone cried
5. and at my uncle bookey's wedding my cousin Marion yelled across the ballroom during the reception to my other cousin "Janie Lee, you and Betty Jean want a piece of cake?" lol
Re: What do you actually remember from all the weddings you been
the most recent wedding i went to was this past October.. FH and i attended my cousins wedding .. and it was a total "What Not To do" .. Lets start with her dress.. very poor fitting and she should've slapped the the sales lady who helped her and her bm cause there were boobies hangin out from every angle of the dress (i'd share pics but that wouldn't be right).. i learned make sure your dress FITS appropriately and don't think you're going to magically shed 60-70 lbs in 3 months .. chances are it ain't gonna happen. .. The officiant - Oh boy the wedding took place at a church, a relatively small church .. but the worse part was the officiant kept calling the groom by a nickname that noone else seemed to know except her the bride and the groom.. then she makes a statement, "Ohh I'm sorry call I know him by "so n so" " i was thinkin oo wow.. and on top that it was like she kept trying to promote the church .. just strange.
Another terrible thing was she sent out invitations with the venue for the reception on a separate card (no reason to doubt it).. So myself and about 30 other family members head over to the venue after the wedding because of course the card said reception immediately following.. So we get there and no one is there but us in the darn parking lot so we figured .. maybe they're takin' pictures so we waited and waited and waited.. finally i call another family member and she wants to know where I'm at.. I' said i'm at the restaurant.. she say what restaurant we at cousins house.. They moved the venue and failed to let most of us know.. So FH and I went home and went to bed..
That wedding was such a what not to do FH and I decided that day if we're not prepared we will put it off another year and do it in 08' because that was down right tacky and disgraceful..

Thanks for sharing MzPrice! That IS so tacky I can't beleive it....
I remember that a my brother's wedding instead of flower girls, they had 3 praise dancers with little pouches of petals that they danced slowly down the aisle to soft music and the bride's relative reciting the second part of Proverbs 31 about a virtuous woman....It was so beautiful, and it got you ready for the bride to walk down the aisle....The only thing that threw it off a little was her mom who is an elder in her church...well she did a part after the pastor did hi thing where she was telling my brother out loud that her daughter was a virgin, and she got their cell phones and made them erase everything "ungodly" out of it....and I understood the symbolism, but If you would have seen her, then you would understand....I mean, all the important parties knew about her virginity, but to re-emphasize it out loud, in front of everyone???? Her rant kind of blew us away!
Re: What do you actually remember from all the weddings you been
No problem bumble.. whenever something touches on an experience I've had I'll share .. especially the what not to do's..
Your poor sister in-law! And all that probably before people started drinking.. so they all remember... :)

WOW!!!!!!!!! I understand the symbolism also...but we as people form opinions based on OUR thoughts and not what is fact...praise God that your sister in law was able to save herself for your brother which is an awesome gift to him, but why would her mother feel she needed to advertise that??? :(

I remember that a my brother's wedding instead of flower girls, they had 3 praise dancers with little pouches of petals that they danced slowly down the aisle to soft music and the bride's relative reciting the second part of Proverbs 31 about a virtuous woman....It was so beautiful, and it got you ready for the bride to walk down the aisle....The only thing that threw it off a little was her mom who is an elder in her church...well she did a part after the pastor did hi thing where she was telling my brother out loud that her daughter was a virgin, and she got their cell phones and made them erase everything "ungodly" out of it....and I understood the symbolism, but If you would have seen her, then you would understand....I mean, all the important parties knew about her virginity, but to re-emphasize it out loud, in front of everyone???? Her rant kind of blew us away!

WOW!!!!!!!!! I understand the symbolism also...but we as people form opinions based on OUR thoughts and not what is fact...praise God that your sister in law was able to save herself for your brother which is an awesome gift to him, but why would her mother feel she needed to advertise that??? :(
