my wedding is tacky lol

[garnet]

Okay, so to someone who wants "perfection" mine will miss. But it will be my wedding, and most importantly my marriage. My bm's are wearing $27 from the DEB store. The groomsmen will be in suits. Only my man will be in a tux. The boy children will all be in suits. My daughter might wear a skirt and blouse. Music will be played via my laptop. But its my wedding

seems pretty relaxed to me!! I don't think its tacky... i like it! We were gunna use a laptop for music, too, but their sound system couldn't be hooked up to one..

[garnet]

I'm not sure how it will work yet, because the paperwork says "music on a piped in system" I'm hoping to hook my laptop up to it, or use a jump drive of songs in their computer. either way is fine. I hate going to weddings where the DJ plays crappy music, and you can tell the bride/groom did not pick it. During the meal I'm playing Celtic wedding songs and bagpipes. (ugh)

[Nekochanpurr]

Just make sure before making any solid plans!!! *^^*

That doesn't sound tacky at all!

[WebLady]

Yep, doesn't sound tacky to me either :D

As You said. It's YOUR Wedding and YOUR Marriage. So there is nothing Tacky about that.

If you really want to be "Off The Wall" then go for it. It's the "I Do" bit that matters no matter how it's dressed up.

I'm wearing Red, not the Traditional White / Cream / Ivory.

No BM's or Best Man. Just Two Witnesses to sign the Register.

Reception at Home.
And no doubt a party that will go on all night until sometime Sunday.

The best wedding I ever went to would be considered "tacky" by the bridal industry. The bride borrowed a friend's dress, had her friends in the wedding party wear whatever they wanted (One had a purple dress and one had a brown dress), went and had the reception in a small, undecorated meeting room at the Best Western with good food, a small grocery store cake, and no music or dancing... but there was a pool party afterwards!

It was the best wedding ever because you could feel the love between the bride and the groom, and all of us 32 guests made friends with each other. It was wonderful!

So yeah, you don't need to spend a mint to have a special wedding.

I think that as long as you get out a pair of "I Do's" nothing else really matters...:)

[joeyz_gurl]

It doesn't sound tacky... it sounds resourceful!:D

[KellieGWA]

Not tacky at all. Its your wedding, you do what you want! :smile:

My sister was the MOH at her best friend's wedding. The reception was catered by Fazoli's and she played music with mix cds and a CD player. The wedding is not about how much you spend, its about the love you and your partner share.

[bclaw09]

tacky? no way! sounds like the wedding i'm going to have =] although, my dress was found at davids bridal for $100. i think i might actually look into deb because, i dont want my girls to spend almost $200 per dress. yanno?

[MrsDM]

I think it sounds just fine and not tacky!

[NikonL18]

i share your concerns, but i commend you for your insights. when i got married, well, i was all teary eyed and everything was unforgettable for me. but before though, I hated the fact that everythign was on a budget... i borrowed my sister's dress, we had the reception at my inlaws, and other stuff thrown in. my two bridesmaids ended up clashing colors because we requested them to provide their own dresses :( i really thought it would be a disaster...

but walking down the aisle, everything else fades. everybody may have thought it was tacky, but you really won't care

That sounds fine to me! I'm making my gown out of linen, people think I'm nuts, but it will be outdoors in July and I'm uncomfortable over 70* - and linen is cool and comfy feeling.

We are using a computer for music, too. All free downloaded midi files except bought a CD for our final get-away dance. $10 total for music.

Honey, it doesn't sound tacky to me. I think it's whatever feels comfortable to you and whatever you want, is the biggest thing. To me, your weddings sounds very intimate and joyous.

22 hours. I can't wait.

[tha_mrs]

Hey today's it!!! hope everything goes lovely!

[brendalin]

I don't think it sounds tacky at all, however you will always have people who will make their rude comments, just remember that it is your wedding. Do what the two of you want! That is all that matters!

[NurseLau84]

Nope, not tacky.
You know...my husband and I had no help paying for anything, so we had to set priorities. Number one being homeownership. Once we bought the house and made a few mortgage payments, then we looked at what we could afford for wedding stuff.
It wasn't much :)
I am a full time student and we are living off of his income alone (albeit, he makes a very good salary).
We didn't have the big church wedding and country club reception like all of our friends. We flew to Jamaica with a few family members, got married in a garden and took pictures on the beach. It was fabulous. Our reception was under a huge tent in my inlaws yard. We had a great time.
You know what would be tacky? Dropping 30 grand on a wedding when we have other responsibilities.
All that matters is that you love each other and you'll be husband and wife.
