Its not us...we usually go outside when its being done at other people's weddings..its a personal choice like say the electric slide.

FH loves that stuff so we're definitely doing it!

My mom doesn't like that stuff, but OH WELL! lol

<Get this, Mom also doesn't want me wearing the blusher! She's like, 'do you KNOW what that symbolizes???'

I probably won't wear one (just to keep the peace), but honestly, I don't care that much...!

uhm... may sound stupid... what DOES it actually symbolize anyway???

It goes back to old times where a Father would sell his daughter for a dowry. Included in that is virginity and ownership and all of those ancient ideals.

Most people don't believe in that kind of thing anymore, but my mom is like an ULTA feminist, so she won't let me forget where some of these traditions come from.
