Rufus Plough: The older I get, the more I enjoy weddings. It may be because it is less and less likely that any close family members will be tying the knot. I confess that about 30 years ago I started choosing the gift AFTER the wedding, and am markedly less generous to those young relatives who use the occasion of their marriage to engage in discourteous or unseemly behavior. Drink and be merry, yes. Do really stupid things in public, no.
Kaylee Schmittou: its over-rated...and a waste of money
Efren Clankscales: I think a wedding is a good time to be with friends and celebrate and an excuse to pamper myself and look my best. I've been to about 20 weddings since I was a kid and I've been in 4 wedding parties and never had a bad time. I've been to several rehearsals too and most of the people I know have families who can keep their differences under wraps in name of harmony for 1 day out of the year. the pastor isn't required to go to the rehearsal dinner, i! f he just wants to conduct the rehearsal and then go home to bed he's free to do that....Show more
Joesph Smithmyer: Nothing is ever going to be perfect.... but if weddings are so bad as you say... why is it a lot of peoples happiest day of their life?
Maryland Gareau: I've never witnessed any drama at a wedding. I think weddings should be done by a pastor and not a county judge. It's supposed to be a union between two people making it incredibly beautiful and something to honor. Weddings should be something everyone would love to see for that reason. It's supposed to be a sacred thing and the audience of the wedding is getting to witness it. But if it isn't your cup of tea then it just isn't. If you skip on weddings I hope you find other times to be social, fun. We are supposed to be social. Adam's first assignment was to name the animals, therefore use language. God saw he was lonely therefore he gave him Eve. What I'm saying is, it's imperative to be social! and weddings and births are the most beautiful things we have! and reasons we have to be social, celebrate, and rejoice in life....Show more
Marjory Stromme: They are pretty, but expensive and usually full of drama. I went to the courthouse. Sooooo glad we didn't waste money on a wedding!
Zora Mazzie: I'm into marriages - not so much weddings. I think that getting married to someone is a very big deal and should be commemorated in SOME way - that said, the commemoration will vary from couple to couple. I don't believe that a traditional wedding is appropriate for most people, and they very much do tend to take on a life of their own. My Fiance and I are keeping it VERY simple. He and I, 2 guests, and a minister, at a gorgeous location, ending in a 2 week long road trip. We're commemorating, all right, just in our own way.To each their own. People should remember that, and find something that would be most personally significant to them rather than feel obligated to follow antiquated tradition.Not only that, but my family a! re obnoxious enough sober. I'm sure as heck not paying for an open bar to see them get MORE obnoxious. Lol......Show more
Floy Fague: It is a place where people get loaded and party all night long with friends and family.It's not nearly as fun as wedding rehearsal dinners. That's where if you are going to be laid back, meet new friends, and eat good food. The fun has risen to such a high level by that point that it's going to come out somewhere.I had a pastor tell me that my wedding songs for the ceremony were really cool. He charged me nothing. So I gave him a couple $100 and he was really happy and so were we. I guess you can chalk it up experiences....Show more
