First QOTD 6/23

Weddings nowadays seem to steer clear of tradition.
What traditional thing are you DEF doing at your wedding and you know you arent going to budge on?

i know that i am def having my dad and only my dad walk me down the aisle. i will def have my veil over my face for him to pull off as well.
my dad is gonna be a big cry baby but i kow it means a lot to him to be able to do this

We will not see each other before the wedding. It's going to necessitate to large-ish gap between the church and the ceremony, but it's something important to us and I'll make sure to have lots of things for our OOT guests to do during that time.

Second, we're gettting married in the church. FH is working with the church to get confirmed before the wedding and all that jazz.

We will NOT be doing the garter or BO-K toss, it's just not me, so we're going to skip it.

Does the church you belong to require him to be confirmed? My mom was married in the catholic church and I was never even baptized although my dad is confirmed. My brother got married in a church and he was only baptized and made his communion. I know that some churches are really strict about it though.

I'm wearing white. I told FH that i want him to wear a black tux.

Other than that, I really cant think of anything.

I think my dad is going to walk me down the aisle. If my grandfather was alive I was going to ask him but he passed in January.

I am not sure if my chruch will require it, although FH would like to do it. My priest called back last week to tell us they didn't have the book for 2010 and to call back in November.Then when I mentioned FH wanted to be confirmed he wanted to check the schedule and get back to me about that.

I am doing alot tradtitional: Veil over face, dad walking me down the aisle, garder/ bok throw, not seeing FH before church, unity candle.

The only non traditional: may not go in the car alone with FH may go in limo with bridal party not sure and having 2 bridesmen stand on my side.

I thought we might have this problem. FH was only bapitzed. My church is very strict. After two weeks of waiting for an answer, they said it was fine since I was active in the church.

Overall I think it depends on the church. It was an option for him to sign some piece of paper saying he did not believe in the Catholic Church but would raise his children Catholic.

As of now-we are not seeing each other before the ceremony (this might change, not sure)

we are doing the garter/bouquet toss-because i wasnt going to do it and my single friends complained to me-so i am doing it for them

i will be doing the something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue

We are getting married in the church I grew up in and we're not seeing eachother before-hand, I'm doing the Something old, something new....,
I'm not sure yet about the garter thing, but def the bouquet toss.
