What was your wedding like and if you aren't yet married and want to be, what kind of wedding do you hope to have?
I've always made wisecracks about having a courthouse wedding in an expensive dress and stuff like that.
I'm still not averse to doing that although more probably I'd go for a forest wedding or an old fancy church (not the prefab box kind they build now!)
The one time I was planning to marry someone, I wanted to do it on Hallowe'en and wear a black gown but he refused to be seen with me in black. He was more traditional than I was.
I'd want traditional vows, replacing the "obey" part for sure.
I'd still want a mostly bluegrass reception with non-fancy food and the best champagne. Whatever was needed to make sure everyone had fun. I don't like stuffy weddings and stuffy receptions.
I used to balk at the idea of being "given away" saying I don't "belong' to anyone so you can't give me away. It's my choice to be married so I will give myself. I still feel like that but but I'd still let my dad do the giving thing because it's the right thing to do and with my mom gone now, I'd make sure he still said "Her mother and I do." That too is only right.

I'm waiting for my daughter's wedding, something mother's dream of.:-4
