What tradition are you tossing out?

We are skipping bouquet/garter toss, something old/new/borrowed/blue, giving the bride away, tossing rice (or tossing anything), no MC/announcments

Haven't decided if I'll wear a veil, have MOH/BM speeches (not forcing but if they want they can), I wouldn't mind skipping parent dances, I don't want to dance with my dad - but my FH can dance with his mom if he wants to (we aren't having a DJ because we aren't much of dancers anyways, but will have a playlist),

Hi,

I just got married this past weekend. We skipped many traditions, I did not wear a veil or garter. WE did not do a garter or bouquet toss, end of the night sendoff, grand entrance as we only had 25 people. Did not wear anything old, something new or blue.

We aren't doing bouquet/garter toss, mother/son or father/daughter dance, and no introductions for the bridal party. We are doing a very restricted number of family photos, and then will release our bridal party back to the 'wild' for cocktail hour while my new husband and I will go off and get couple photos. We're also doing the very fewest number of speeches we could manage - both dads, and then us speaking together.

No garter/bouquet toss. Not sure if we'll introduce the wedding party, likely not. We will only do a first dance. No other (mother/son, father/daughter) ones. We may not do a cake cutting. And likely no toasts other than maybe FH welcoming everyone.

We are also being pretty non-traditional...the only reception announcements will be the cake cutting, and the 2 of us being introduced as we enter the reception area. We'll probably have the wedding officiant say grace after the first dance prior to dinner but no other speeches. No parents dances, no bouquet/garter toss, no line dances. The only reason we will be announced as we enter is my FH is a huge Metallica fan, and we'll walk in during the intro to Enter Sandman! (no pyro though...lol!!!)

We tossed out a lot of things. Traditional cakes, garter toss, bouquet toss, speeches, MC, dancing all together, alcohol. We went for more of an afternoon high tea party vibe instead of a dance party vibe and it worked great.

We won't be having a wedding party, nor will we be doing toasts. Absolutely skipping the bouquet/garter toss. Our main dessert is going to be artisan cookies but we'll have a small chocolate cake because it's the one thing FH requested. No grand exit, and probably not really any entrance either.

Did not have an MC or bridal party announcements (I don't get those at all and HATE them as a BM)

I paid for all the BM dresses

I've been to like one wedding as an adult and honestly I didn't even think about the actual "giving away." We're skipping quite a few traditional things in our wedding and I think that's a good one to add to the list.

My fiancé "asked" my parents to marry me, but that was actually more of him just telling them he was going to propose because I requested that they and my grandma know before he did. Since he would tell his family before, I wanted to make sure mine knew too.
