Re: Question

[herpymcderp]

I don't think it's that confusing to want to include your parents in your wedding. I don't think that tradition necessarily has to mean anything but, "Hey, this is a person who raised me and now they are helping to usher me into my future."

These days there's so much that's changing that traditions hardly mean anything at all. Wearing white sure doesn't mean the bride is a virgin. It probably just means she wants to wear a nice dress. Throwing flowers, cutting cake, having speeches... people choosing their wedding parties... I've been to quite a few weddings now, and they've all been as varied and personal as the couples.

If we were still doing things the traditional way we'd have certain colors of roses that we couldn't use and like... an amount of time that couples must be engaged beforehand, and a specific dowry price.

Marriage hardly means what it used to lol.

Exactly. I think what matters more in a wedding is that you can see that the couple is doing what they want and that they are enjoying themselves.

Meanwhile, I'd want my dad to walk me down the aisle if only because it would mean a lot to him, more of a chance for him to show off how proud he is of me. He and I didn't have the best relationship growing up but for him to walk me, it would show an incredible sign of respect between the two of us.

It's not about the giving me away part, it's about him standing up there for me.

That's more or less what I assumed it to mean to most people these days, since most people aren't actually asking the father's permission to marry their daughter anymore.

And even if that's how you want to roll, who cares? I'm not going to judge people for how they want to express themselves when it comes to relationships.

Re: Question

[shortysc22]

I went to a wedding this summer that was one of the most nontraditional weddings and it was amazing. The couple got married in June but held a reception in August for friends and family. The only two traditional parts were the first dance and them cutting the cake. Otherwise it was buffet appetizers, open bar sangria, and bufffet dinner. For dessert it was a sliver of wedding cake plus each table got a small plate of 6-8 desserts. And there was an Italian ice cart! Super fun and super casual. No speeches.

But it gave plenty of time for the bride and groom to mingle with everyone and the most important part? They wrote in the thank you notes what we talked about and the thank you notes were mailed within 4 days!

Re: Question

From what I understand, white wedding dresses weren't originally supposed to signify virginity either, they were supposed to signify the bride was rich enough to be able to afford to imitate Queen Victoria and have a fancy white dress made that she'd never wear again. Then it retroactively became about virginity.

Re: Question

As I understand it, white wedding gowns are a relatively modern thing. Women used to get married in a nice dress (either new or the nicest dress they owned), perhaps one that would become their best dress after the ceremony, so it was a practical thing. Even after white gowns came into fashion, some thrifty brides would just have their wedding gown dyed after, so they could wear the dress again!
