When I got married back in 1993, I left on deployment in December and came back in may, got married in June, left again two weeks later and stayed gone for eight months. I was home again for four months and left again for the Middle east and got divorced by Fedex. We had been together for six years and never had a problem, got married and everything changed.
We're still best friends and tell each other "I love you" when we say good bye, even though she's re-married to a dud. A nice guy, but a bore.
I don't understand all the extra crap that goes along with weddings these days. Maybe I don't go to enough of them to know, IDK. A nice ceremony, with a nice reception is always appropriate, but all the over-the-top stuff is ridiculous, and offensive to me. I watched Bridezillas a few times, and can't imagine life around women who desire so much, materially, and treat others so badly. I like David Tutera, but often he chooses someone who is all tatted up, etc. and they have these enormous ideas of what they want for their dream wedding. I just don't get it. Why spend the money THAT way?
The guys who let their women pull this kind of bridezilla shit are all pussy-whipped. They should stand up and say, "This is ridiculous and you're making a fool of yourself. Stop throwing tantrums about our wedding and grow up." But they just sit there like wussies while their fiancees have screaming fits because their shoes are the "wrong shade" of ivory snow white palette #23 or whatever. All these couples deserve each other.
I had a nice conservative green dress and hubs had a nice dark suit. We got married by justice of peace(who i knew) and had his parents and my mother there to witness..oh our oldest was 4 yrs old and was the *flower girl*. no honeymoon. we have been together 24 yrs this year. we feel like we are each others soul mates and it really does not matter what the ceremony was like. but that is me..we do not even make a big deal out of our anniversary. happiness is everyday not just on that day.
I don't understand this crap, never have, never will. So much money up in smoke for one day. I'd rather keep the money & buy myself a beautiful house with some land. If I'm going to feed 200 people I'd rather send the money & feed 200 people in a poor country that have no money & no food. All you have to do is look at bridesmaid dresses to see that the bride loses her mind during the wedding preparations & it's not like those ugly dresses come cheap either. As it was said up thread, something nice & simple, I get that, blowing the cash & showing off, I don't.
Can you blame him---the horse looks embarrassed too. It looks like one of those rich Japanese weddings or a Kardashean (sp) get together.
Jarhead...sorry the way your divorce happened. Long distance marriages very seldom make it. I suppose you've seen a lot of that. That's another casualty of war. So sad--but glad you are both still friends. That's important!
You ain't seen nothing yet! Take a look at this Irish Traveller wedding: http://tackyweddings.com/2009/09/09/hot-mess-irish-wedding-with-neon-pink-chanel-bridesmaids/

Jarhead I've heard of a mailorder bride but a divorce by Federal Express ?! Wow they really do deliver. Did it arrive before 09:00 hour? |o| I don't mean any disrespect but I'm tickled by your story. You are a lil munkie ;) Kiki ;)

As I recall, there was one instance of a groom who was like a bridezilla. He was as out of control as any bride I've ever seen. He insisted they get married in a bar he likes. They negotiated on if they could afford a photo booth at the wedding reception, and the answer was no. He went behind everyone's back and had one delivered because it was part of his dream wedding. He also insisted his wedding ring have diamonds as big as his fiancee's, and when they went along with his mom (huge mistake) to the jeweler, he and his mom both insisted he have two rings, just like the bride. The things people do. . . I had a white wedding, almost 20 years ago. It was pretty, and not too over the top, but in retrospect, I would rather have had just a few family members present, and gotten married at city hall, or wherever. Less hassle, and less debt afterwards. (I did watch costs, but even then prices were high.)
I think guys that marry women that have this type of excess at the wedding believe her family has money and will share it with them both. They are the male version of gold diggers.
Oh god! That's tacky. Hubs and I were gonna get married at the Courthouse, but, when my lil brother heard we were getting married he was like what the hell are you thinking! so he flew in from Florida, threw a party for us and made cute potpurri party favors with our names printed on them...thankfully it wasn't over the top, we had a small ceremony with the justice of peace and maybe 15 guests....and a nice barbeque and a keg of Fat Tire amber, out on a good friend's front yard, with their dog being the happiest of us all not knowing which way to start munching on the grilled t-bones thrown his way....we camped on the yard overnight, and the next day we had bbq steak and eggs and beer for breakfast....
With that story told, I LOOOOOVE weddings. Especially the food. And the hors d'oeuvres. So fuck the bride and groom, I go to a wedding to eat your food and drink your wine and fondle your women!
I agree those crazy weddings are tacky and a waste of money. Was never a little girl who dreamed of a wedding.
I wore a chic little off white silk skirt suit with 3/4" sleeves to the courthouse to get married, he got a new navy Brooks Brothers suit (lasted from 2000-2006). I arranged a luncheon in a private dining room within walking distance of the courthouse with our parents and siblings. I had a florist do flowers for the tables that our mom's could take home and we had a sweet little cake. It was lovely.
No diamond either, we got matching wedding bands. We put what money we had into a down payment on the house at the time. Young couple, worked for us. He's a decent guy, but couldn't weather hard times. No regrets at all. I learned how strong and resilient I am.
Am I the only one with a crush on Jarhead?! I was an Army brat and would have happily waited for him through any deployments.

PS-My bulldog Harte is doing really well, I know your energy helped him. Thanks to all.
I went to Jamaica and got married at the resort. Had a wedding dress, but not too poofy so I could carry it on the plane. I had native flowers in my hair and got married in a gazebo by the ocean. Just us. It was beautiful.
Valle your oceanside wedding sounds just beautiful. Just the two of you !! Sounds so splendid indeed ! Please send DD a pix to post. I'd love to see it if I may. - Kiki :)
Because they sick and tired of getting mistreated, used, played as fools, disrespected and cheated on. Just like why some ladies don't want to get married.
Oh sorry thats my sister in laws life. She is only 25 and has been married 3 times. Maybe soon 4 times. Since this last hub gets ship off in about a month. She goes through men like water. Get the cash and runs. Away we go..
I actually had to put my niece on block on FB because I couldn't take anymore talk about her wedding. I think just about everyone else on her friends list did too. There was soooo much hoopla made over every detail.
The wedding finally came. The food was TOTAL shit and the DJ sucked big time. She paid 80.00 a plate for garbage. The venue also provided the wedding cake and they couldn't even get the knife through it because it was frozen. My stupid sister took out a loan to pay for a wedding dress that her daughter insisted on having. The wedding industry is such a racket and a total waste of money.
So many of these girls can't see past the wedding day. A wedding does NOT make a marriage.
Buy furniture or a put the money down on a house. Take a trip, get married while you are on vaca. Get back & have a party & a wedding cake for those that did not make the trip with you. Nothing big or expensive, just a nice wedding cake. Maybe finger food. No dinner!! Too expensive! Unless it was a cook out! My daughter has figured out that a wedding is for OTHER people, not for the bride & groom. The food is all for other people, the flowers, the gowns, the hair, the jewelry, the limos...everything. Spending money on things for other people, it's like throwing your money down a hole! She is soooo not into that. Thank Gawd! She said she will not have a big wedding, she will do the vaca thing and buy a house instead or furniture! rox
Tonya indeed it appears to be so ! They are in full dress regalia for a Cinderella wedding complete with coachmen. It would not surprise me if there was a glass slipper left behind in that crystal pumpkin . LOL Kiki :-))
Put yourself in a man's place..would you propose if there was a chance your bride could think up this shit?

...and if they are all for it, well you probably don't want to marry them anyway...lol
Any gal who has this kind of wedding "limo" shouldn't be all that surprised when the hubs leaves her for another guy.
Not that there's anything wrong with that...... :)

They do this kind of stuff on "Bridezilla" or at least attempt too. The guys usually aren't even in the decision making.
