Re: Weddings Stephen Send a noteboard - 04/04/2011 05:42:06 PM
So, I've been engaged for over a year now, and we haven't set a wedding date yet.

I like this, as I like being engaged. And planning a wedding sounds like an awful lot of work to me (and probably requires throwing a lot of money at it, too). I'm not really the kind of woman who's been planning her marriage since the age of 4.

I do have a vague sense that I want to throw a really cool party.

So on to the survey:

1. 'Did you ever attend a wedding? (if not, prob this survey isn't for you)

Yeah, a few. mainly family
2. Do you like weddings?

They're alright
3. Did you ever organize a wedding? (Was it your own?)

Nope, don't intend to for at least ten years.
4. What was the best wedding you ever went to, and why was it so good? (cue for: my own, because I love my spouse so much! real intention of question is that I want to know what made the party fun)

One of my uncles who got married when i was ten or eleven. The reception took place in an old castle, and at the dinner a microphone was passed around and i remember grabbing it and talking for a while. it was also one of the first times i got drunk so I don't remember what I said.
5. What kind of wedding would you like to throw yourself (if you were to marry at some point)?

No clue, possibly let the good lady decide.
6. Do you like traditional weddings, or ones that do something unique/funny?

Both.

She wouldn't be dramatic there, that would be fine. nossy - 05/04/2011 05:11:47 PM 926 Views
If you don't want drama, don't invite family. Seriously, listen to the voice of experience here. *NM* Macharius - 04/04/2011 04:07:42 PM 440 Views
you are not factoring in the drama of not inviting family. Camilla - 04/04/2011 04:32:51 PM 856 Views

In your opinion. For me, as an example, it is the people I care for and respect that matter. snoopcester - 05/04/2011 10:26:53 AM 762 Views
