Is tradition important to you?

[WebLady]

I'm curious how much tradition plays/played a role in your wedding and why.

For me it wasn't about tradition, we did it our way. Partly because of money and partly because we just didn't want to go through all the fuss, we just wanted to be married ... but wanted something nicer than the JOP ;)

Tradition is somewhat important, but not a deciding factor!!! We want a semi-big formal wedding and reception and we are following some of the traditions, but not all of them!!!

I tried to stay away from tradition as much as possible. I wanted a huge party with lots of food, drinks, music, and fun for all of our friends. It just so happens that we got married that day as well. Even our ceremony although it was in a church was very untraditional. I did it all my way not the way that people thought it should be done. Unlike most people to me the reception was the important part of the day and that is where most of my focus went.

Tradition is important, but will not decide everything. I want some of the traditional touches like my dad walking me down the aisle, us not staying together the night before the wedding or him not seeing my dress. I also want all the traditional processional and recessional music. I want to throw my bouquet to the single girls and have Justin toss my garter.

We are having a traditional ceremony but the reception is just whatever we decide on. Steve really wants tradition so we compromised with the traditional ceremony.

My mom was big into doing things Traditionally and i swear she tried to be the queen of ettiquet. But sometimes that totally backfired on her.

Mark and i wanted some of the traditional things. But not all of them. It was very important for Mark to be married in the Church. I wanted him to not see my dress until i walked down the isle. Not because i belived it was bad luck. But because i wanted it to be a surprise for him and everyone eles. The only people who saw my dress on me before the day of the wedding was my parents and my MOH.

Tradition is a very important thing to me, maybe too important. I have this fantasy vision of how somethings are supposed to go, and I have alot of problems letting go of those fantasies.

I get that way sometimes too.

I voted maybe a little because there are some things that I want that are traditional, but I also want things to be different.

We went half traditonal/half our way. I liked that we could mix the old and the new. It made it unique to us.

I like the traditions that come with a wedding but it didnt mean I had to do them. I had my mom walk me down the aisle. We didnt say " I DO " as part of our vows. I loved our vows, so much more of who we are. We had a Jr bride and groom and they came in just before me for the ceremony and just before nicholas and I for the reception. I danced with my mom not my dad and we didnt have a wedding party dance. We danced with our kids instead. With kids you have to throw some of the traditional things out. Change it up for what works for you. I did do the fun traditional things like the garter and bouquet toss.

I had a non traditional wedding with only a few traditional touches. I wanted things done my way. :D
