Karen J asked:


I ask because on Platinum weddings they sometimes exchange gifts. I have never heard of this. Is it unusual or common? If it is common then what kind of gifts are exchanged?
I should have been more specific. I was thinking of gift wrapped/boxed gifts like jewelry not rings, kisses, love or their bodies.
Also, Platinum Weddings is a tv show on WEtv about over the top expensive weddings.

What do the bride and groom talk about during their first waltz? –and other questions about weddings.

BeckerJames asked:


I am not thinking about getting married soon at all, but if it happens, I’d like it to be great… I’ve been at some weddings and I can see the couple dancing the waltz and some of them seem to laugh and talk… others look romantic… in others the groom looks smooth, seductive and sexy… and in most cases they remain silent –awkwardly. What are good conversation topics for this moment? is it about how lucky they are they found each other? or is it about how lucky they are for having survived all this circus?

Last night i was at a friend’s wedding and my friends and me were talking at our table about whether the couple really make love on their wedding night? or is it that they are too tired after all that circus the party is plus having the last few months like crazy with all preparations, etc etc? Do they still have the energy to consummate the wedding just after the party? or is it ok if they wait til next morning?

What is the point of having hundreds of guests at the wedding? relatives they dont even know? people who make business with the bride’s father? friends of friends? why some people like to do that?

In the film ‘My best friend’s wedding’, cameron diaz and dermott Mulroney’s characters leave the party right after she throws the bouquet and the party without them… i’ve never seen that in real life weddings… in all cases i’ve seen, the couple stays til the very end, put the gifts in a car and they leave… how is it supposed to be?

why sometimes the father and mother in law look so apathetic? last night i felt bad about my friend as her maid of honor look bored and uncomfortable all the time, she didnt even want to compete with the other girls for the bouquet… her mum looked as she couldnt wait for the party to be over. her sister was great tho, she made a great effort cheering up the party, danced with all of us etc etc.

I once went to a wedding, and it was soo touching: both mothers in law were holding hands and crying together during the whole ceremony… (tears of happiness)… the couple looked very relaxed and in so in love… even shivering in emotion a little… and when the pastor said ‘you maid kiss the bride’ the literally jumped on each other and had a long kiss and the 25-30 people gathered broke down in applausses and cheers. Even the groom’s dad and brother were crying next to each other. Then everybody went to hug them and it was not only a tap on the shoulder… there were hi-fives, singing, etc etc… I want something like that.

I know it sounds strange me being a male I feel concerned about all this— usually girls worry more about this kind of stuff. but if i ever get married and have a wedding party and all that, I want to be on top of the situation, I’d love to be the ideal groom for my fioncee (wherever she is ;) ).

— Please talk about ur personal experience if u r married.. if not, about what u’ve heard, seen, or what u’d like it to be like…

Why do brides wear a veil or some sort of headcovering at weddings?3

Musica asked:


I’ve noticed that even at secular weddings…and even the most progressive of brides to be revert to the traditions like the veil, white dress etc. What’s the rationale? I don’t have a problem with it…just curious since most of us in the Western nations don’t wear headcovering in everyday life
Other thing I notice at weddings? headcoverings but bare shoulders…

squirt_81301 asked:


I’m a bridesmaid in 3 weddings this year, and have several other good friends getting married whose weddings I’m either attending or missing. When faced with all the bridal showers, bachlorette parties, wedding registries, etc. I have no idea if it is expected for me to get each bride / couple something or not for those whose wedding I’m in and whose wedding I’m not in. As a student, this can get expensive and obviously being a bridesmaid 3 times is a big financial commitment as it is. What is the proper etiquette here?

Are weddings these days what they used to be?

August 29th, 2009 Tim No comments

?The Mrs.? asked:


What are wedding about now? It seems as though they have become more about who can plan a better party and all of the attention being on the bride for the next year. Where has this selfish attitude come from? What happened to weddings, even elaborate ones, being about the joining of two people and their future together.

Now, I realize this does not apply to everyone and maybe even a select few…but what is going on with this select few?
