Oooh, what did you wear? Vivien Send a noteboard - 05/04/2011 02:26:51 AM
I like the idea of not wearing a wedding dress. Wedding dresses are either ridiculously expensive or ugly. In any case, you're never going to wear it again.

Well white is beautiful though. I think part of what makes it beautiful is the pristine whiteness- it's stunning for maybe a day, and then it looks dirty. That's what wedding dresses are white- since it's a dress you're never going to wear again, it may as well be white.


1. 'Did you ever attend a wedding? (if not, prob this survey isn't for you)

Loads. Large family. I also got married once.

2. Do you like weddings?

Yes and no. I like them as a guest, but I didn't want my own, and I don't like being part of the bridal party even though it's sweet. I hate being in front of people.

3. Did you ever organize a wedding? (Was it your own?)

Yes and yes. It was small - 42 guests - and we just had the service, drinks (during photo time) and a dinner. So even though I didn't want a wedding it was a really nice day.

I also didn't wear white because a) I don't suit it and b) that's a silly tradition really. I don't like tradition for tradition's sake. I like there to be a good reason for things.

4. What was the best wedding you ever went to, and why was it so good? (cue for: my own, because I love my spouse so much! real intention of question is that I want to know what made the party fun)

Um. I think my sister's wedding because it was so lovely. She looked gorgeous, everyone was well behaved, and we did dinner at home for just the two families.

5. What kind of wedding would you like to throw yourself (if you were to marry at some point)?

No wedding is good.

6. Do you like traditional weddings, or ones that do something unique/funny?

Both. Depends how it's all done.

She wouldn't be dramatic there, that would be fine. nossy - 05/04/2011 05:11:47 PM 758 Views
If you don't want drama, don't invite family. Seriously, listen to the voice of experience here. *NM* Macharius - 04/04/2011 04:07:42 PM 368 Views
