After going to my third wedding this summer, I feel like a pro! There are a few things I have decided I WON'T have at my wedding.1. a singer whose vibrato is so fast that you can't understand a word she says!
2. a priest who can't remember the names of the Bride and Groom!
3. a D.J. who thinks Disco music is still popular!
4. allow cell phones in the church.
5. have a band that walks around singing love songs during the reception.
6. cash bar! Drinks should be included.
7. allow the wedding cake to be placed on an unsturdy table.
8. most of all, I will not allow tradition to get in the way of the happiest day of my life!
Your wedding day should be your OWN! If you don't want your Dad to walk you down the aisle because he hasn't been in your life AT ALL, then choose someone else! When I walk down the aisle to the man of my dreams, I want the person who leads the way to be the most important male figure in my life. Since my B-Bob is not alive, I will choose that man when the day comes. I'm a little torn as to who he would be right now. I have a stepfather, uncles and a wonderful brother-in-law but I just don't know how I'll feel when the time comes to decide.
I think my best friend had her wedding close to perfect! The reception was on the water and she selected every single song the D.J. played. Since she also loves country music, I was happy. She even sang a song to her husband which I think I would do as well. Her ceremony was done at a church that neither she nor her husband attended. They had many meetings with the priest but he still didn't know them well enough to give a personal ceremony. I think I might be getting a little picky, but oh well. I have plenty of time to plan my "perfect" wedding.

Howdy, cousin. Isn't great out here in cyberspace?
YEs, the wedding. I wish I'd taken note like you are about what pleases and what doesn't. It took me planning a wedding I didn't want to realize what I wanted. You know the rest of the story.
Happy trails. I look forward to keeping up here.
That wedding you attended sounds pretty grim city. Cash bar? Never heard of such a thing.
(P.S. You just thinking out loud, or do you have an intended you're about to wed?)
I agree with your list. And I do see your dilemma in choosing a down-the-aslie escort. Not many good men in our family to choose from are there? Hmmmmm...well, no need to worry about that now. Things have a way of working out.
Your wedding will be a blast whenever it happens...no hurry though. Right now you need to get your butt to Nashville and follow your dream. The man will come in due time. I promise ;-)
I like your list!
My sister was married last October and the priest, whom we've known for 20 freaking years, STILL called my brother-in-law by the wrong name at the most important moment of the ceremony! It was funny and not funny at the same time.
Found my way here via MommaK today. (And if I remember correctly you were the one who shares my loathing for the word "moist"? lol)
Wishing you the best as you go after your dreams. :)
