What *tacky* thing are you doing??

We have fake flowers! I think they look just as beautiful as real ones, won't die two weeks later, and I can pass it down to a daughter if I have one! My mom did a fake bouquet as well, and we put pieces of hers in mine! It's really special!

We are very nontraditional! I am wearing a black dress, my hair is crazy colors, we are having 2 themes one for ceremony and one for reception, we are having our kids be our bridal party, no bach parties, no rehearsal dinner but going paint balling after the rehearsal, we aren't doing traditional engagement photos or save the dates, I'm sure there's more but I can't think lol

My brother is going to stand up with me as my bridesman. He said he'd even put on a dress if I asked him to, which I'm not. Nobody wants to see that! We are not doing flower girls or ring bearers because we have decided we aren't inviting children to our wedding. We will (hopefully) be doing a cash bar. I'm not a huge fan of flowers (it makes me sad when they die) so we'll be doing fake flowers. I'm not getting my makeup professionally done because I have really sensitive acne-prone skin and I don't want to end up with a rash on my wedding day.

Although maybe not tacky but we did a first reveal so we could get all our pics out of the way before the ceremony. i did all fake flowers even bouquet. cash bar for liquor. no registry - oh and the best part, we were already married

Ours is that our officiant isn’t official! We got married at the courthouse last year so we asked our friend to officiate for us since there are no legal requirements. ❤️😂

We're doing a honeymoon registry (Zola) and will not be changing our last names after the wedding. We're also having our ceremony and reception in different locations, a 30-minute drive apart. And absolutely no garter toss, although I'm still on the fence about tossing a bouquet.

View Quoted Comment Sounds like SO MUCH FUN! My FH are in an Irish Pirate pub band together, so that sounds like an amazing wedding, lol.

View Quoted Comment I'm doing fake flowers, too! Did them the first time around and love that I saved money and still have them as mementos.

View Quoted Comment Haha!! We're sword people, too. Most of our friends are more shocked that we DON'T have a sword fight planned. Yet...

View Quoted Comment There's a 15 year gap between me and my FH! Definitely taboo, lol.

View Quoted Comment We are definitely kindred wedding spirits! We're not doing any of the standard stuff (cake cutting, photo booths, catering, etc.) Our registry is all gift cards for Home Depot and Harbor Freight so we can buy stuff to work on our house! 😂 It's rather freeing having been here before and having the wherewithal to say "Nope, I don't care about that!"

View Quoted Comment Yessss!!! It’s very freeing to do what you want...the way you want to. It makes the wedding feel that much more special.

Do it!

Dooooooooooo it!!!!

Seriously, it was so much fun. We blended our love of stage combat with my love of Harry Potter, and "fought" our friends. The first two "waves" were DH and myself against one friend each, then we teamed up to fight two more friends successively. Other friends magicked the defeated off the dance floor, and it was just so. much. fun. Huge hit, everyone loved it, the video and pictures are magic...

And it's REALLY fun to just ... drop this on social media:

Exactly!

Hmmm i guess mine is the fact that our venue was split. split in terms of it was at a restaurant and they gave us a banquet room except you had to walk thru the regular restaurant that still opens to the public to get to the banquet room. so that was kind of awkward since you had to walk thru these tables of patrons

View Quoted Comment Are you the older one? No one cares if the groom is older than the bride, but when it's fhe other way around - everyone has an opinion 😂

View Quoted Comment He's the older one, but I'm closer in age to his oldest daughter (10 years older than her) than I am to him. So we get some judgy raised eyebrows sometimes!

No dancing, no booze, no speeches, no tosses. We’re rebels.

There's a gap between the ceremony and reception. Even tho it's at the same place.
There's no cocktail hour.
No videographer.My bridesmaids are wearing the same dress in very different colors.My dress is charcoal.My flowers are comic books.Taco bar.Cheap wine. But like yummy cheap wine.

My gay nephew is going to be our "Flower Dude" haha. He's so excited to be apart of our big day
