I've been to alot of weddings lately and I must say there are alot of things to love and alot of thing to not love. One of the biggest things that upset me and I find absolutely tacky, is making your guests wait while you and your wedding party go drink on a bus or limo. It's tacky and disrespectful. Especially when you've made this big "to do" in the church. I take my vow to my husband and to God seriously and find it horribly disrespectful when the first thing you do as a married couple is get drunk before you even get to the reception.
I give props to couples who are very tasteful in their reception and care about the finances of their wedding. I know with our wedding, there are alot of things we didn't get to spend money on, but in the long run we are thankful because we've been able to save and use it on other things. A recent wedding I went to, the bride and groom opted to be a bit more savvy with their finances in order to save for their marriage, and their wedding was just as tasteful. Quite beautiful actually.
I don't agree with having an open bar at a wedding. Especially when there are kids present. If both parents drink, then how is that a safe ride home? Another wedding I was at recently, the alcohol was free but you had to pay for non-alcoholic drinks such as pop or water. This infuriates me. So, because I don't drink, I have to pay for mine??
I will give props to weddings who have good food. If you have money in the budget for food, it's always promising to see good home down food.
I give props to the guests who know how to dress for a wedding. A hint to the ladies, blue jeans with stuff written on the behind, paired with heels is NOT proper wedding attire-lets be a bit more classy.
Finally I give props to ministers who actually care about what they are saying before the congregation. I find it very annoying when pastors try to joke so much during a ceremony that they stumble in their words, forget what they were saying or offer up a non-sensical prayer. Things such as "Dear Lord please meet us here," hasn't God already said that where two or more are gathered I will be there?
That is my rantings for the evening.
