wedding 'trend' you said NO to

Original post by libby2595

ladies, i was wondering what 'new and hip' wedding trend did you just NOT WANT?


i'll go first. the funny thing is that mine is mostly an 'old traditional' trend... no bouquet toss and no garter toss (not enough sinlges at the wedding to justify).

your turn




disclaimer: please remember, that this is a matter of likes/dislikes and personalities. just because you don't care for something, doesn't mean that there isn't a wonderful bride who just loves the idea. i know we are all grown, well-behaved women and we won't say anything offensive about what another bride did/will do.

I agree with everyone elses list and would like to add that I am not doing the 'something old, something new, something blue' thing either. No stupid chicken dance, macerena, conga line or electic slide....darn there isn't a little Emoticon for vomiting. Someone so needs to make one! I will have to settle for

Def no tiara, no cry packs, no petal cones (church doesn't allow rose petals anyway), no I do letters, no bathroom basket or slipper basket, I didn't want the bouqet toss or garter toss but my mother and single MOH threw a fit when I said it, so I guess we'll have it.

Oh yea, no chocolate fountain. I keep having nightmares of little children running up and hugging me and there being two small chocolate handprints on my wedding dress. Or a bunch of drunk people dropping chocolate covered food everywhere and on everything and everyone.
I'll pass thanks

I am not doing the boquet and garter toss either. I hate that. It gives the drunk idiots an excuse to get loud and obnoxious.
