Do You Have a Non-traditional Aspect Of Your Wedding?

Hi everyone! I was just curious if anyone has a non-traditional aspect to their wedding? I wanted to share mine. My non-traditional aspect of my wedding is my maid of honor...it will actually be my brother! I've dubbed him my Bride's Man of Honor. :-) He has been such an importance piece of my life...

Hi everyone!


I was just curious if anyone has a non-traditional aspect to their wedding? I wanted to share mine.


My non-traditional aspect of my wedding is my maid of honor...it will actually be my brother! I've dubbed him my Bride's Man of Honor. :-)

He has been such an importance piece of my life always but especially after my first marriage which was super abusive verbally, financially, and mentally...and so when I met the love of my life, my fiance, my brother made it a point to stay close and be involved more. (The first time I got married, I was swept up in what I thought at a young age was a sweeping romance and I moved far from my family...but that marriage ended with me living far from home and away from family support, and my now-ex husband was incredibly narcissitic and had managed to manipulate me and isolate me from any real support and love until I woke the hell up and realized i had to save me and my son from that living hell...)


When I share with people the few details of my wedding which is May 22, 2021, and I tell them that my brother is my Bride's Man of Honor, they are totally taken aback and say "wow, that's different."


So is anyone else having an aspect of their wedding that isn't so traditional? :-) Happy Wedding Planning, everyone!

    Where to begin....

    --Keeping the entire engagement a secret in order to elope

    --Vintage dress pattern, DIY everything

    --Friend officiating

    --Asking officiant friend to wear my high-fashion interpretation of a Jedi robe (it's a vintage evening coat pattern with a hood added, made in reversible brown satin).... she's 110% on board...

    --Ordering cake from Butter and Scotch, putting a topper on it with Squall and Rinoa from Final Fantasy VIII

    --Doing the ceremony on a private rooftop near Tompkin's Square Park, having the option to take photos there... if you live in NYC, you probably have an idea what that says about me as a person...

    --Having a party at Kalahari Resort a few months later... while still keeping the whole thing a secret from family so they can't criticize our weird idea

    --Doing a party at Artisan Works once we're ready to do a family thing

    --Possibly using Nobuo Uematsu's music during the ceremony

    --I really like the traditional Celtic wedding vows and might use those

    --No references to the religious traditions we grew up in whatsoever.

    --We'll probably end up saying "I love you 3000" somewhere in this ceremony.
