You tribute to your mom is beautiful.

Re: What are the best wedding details you have seen at a wedding?

I am thinking of something similar. My mom and dad have both passed away (my Aunt and Uncle are walking me down the aisle). I thought my junior bridesmaid could carry a replica of my mother's bo-k (it was very simple), and then place on 'their' seats as she walks down the aisle. I'm not sure...

Re: What are the best wedding details you have seen at a wedding?

both ideas sound beautiful

Re: What are the best wedding details you have seen at a wedding?

We didnt do any physical touches we did more gestures anda actions.

We did custom vows and included our daughter:

I annissa take you troy and amaya to be my family..etc.

Unique touch was we didnt do all lovey dovey songs..we had a party and in fact alot of guests said it was the best wedding they went to because of this. I may be the minority but I hate to go to a wedding and hear love songs all night.

Wildlife is always a hit..The ducks were walking around outside Coral house and thank heavens not pooping lol.

Our parents anniversary is the day b4 ours and after wecut the cake..they got to cut it too and feed each otehr.

Regarding using the matches and sparklers for the July 4th wedding: This is such a cute idea! I saw a wedding tip in a magazine that said if you do this, that you should attach a tag that says 'A Perfect Match: Groom's Name and Bride's Name, July 4th, 2005'

(Fill in the info for your wedding, of course.)

I thought this was cute.

In reply to above post regarding the seating chart idea:

I am actually undecided about whether or not I am going to be taking my fiance's last name, but at the same time it was exciting for us both to see 'The Future Mr. and Mrs...' on the seating chart at the wedding we went to. I do respect your words of caution; however, I still did really love seeing it (this was just my opinion.)

By the way girls - the ideas on this thread are AWESOME - keep them coming!!

i have to agree %100...whetehr you take his name or not you are still the Mr and mrs...... why else are you getting married

Re: What are the best wedding details you have seen at a wedding?

A few ideas I have but I'm not sure FH will let me spend all this $$$ :
1) we're doing 2 favors--the first is a bottle of wine from Pugliese on the North Fork, where we got engaged; the second is a heart-shaped silver wine stopper
2) all boxes related to the wedding will be Tiffany's colored--the OOT guests are getting boxes instead of bags, so they'll be robin's egg blue with a white bow. The wedding cake, favor box for wine stopper, card box, and even the bathroom baskets will be the same.
3) I'd like to get those Chinese take-out boxes and fill them with inexpensive candy, then hand them out to guests as they leave for the night. Figured it's appropriate since FH and I pretty much get take-out all the time. It might be a little excessive with the 2 favors though.

Yes. Mr and Mrs. as is Mr. His first name his last name and Mrs My first name, my last name. I might not even use 'mrs.', eiteher.

yes, it does offend me that people would ASSUME I'm taking FH's name. I'd get over it and just chalk it up to ignorance, but it does offend people who don't believe in becoming someone else's property.

i would not get offended nor do i think any of my friends would be

BUMP

Re: What are the best wedding details you have seen at a wedding?

Our guests raved about everything DH and I did.... the cry packets, butterfly release, programs, favors, Starbucks coffee bags, the place card flowers. We received compliments all day long - and every person we have talked to since has told us how great everything was.... so the guests DO notice when there are 'extra details' around, but prolly won't notice them if there isn't.
