ed and ying Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 HomeprincessI think the real American tradition is that the bride should control the wedding. Do what is special to you and your SO. It is your day, take control and forget about what others may expect. Work with your SO. to create your moment that fits your budget, etc. Nothing else is important, what everyone will remember is your union Link to comment

Speaking of White Lillies, I was wondering if you got my special delivery of them to YOU after the game in Tallahassee last night. I know it's a only a small thing, but I thought it might help you during your grieving process.... ....not sure if it was whining or grieving, just thot the lillies would help?

warpedbored Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Wedding customs are not something Americans adhere hard and fast to. Sicne we are a country of many cultures it is perfectly acceptable to make up your own customs such as a blend of Chinese and American wedding traditions. Also these days the brides family does'nt always pay for everything. Big weddings can be very expensive so both familys often split the expense. It is the memories that count though not the cost. You can be creative and have a very nice wedding without spending tens of thousands of dollars. Does your SO have a friend or family member with a very nice yard? You could have a beautiful outdoor wedding with no fee in such a location. My wife and I had a very simple wedding at the courthouse in front of a judge with a few close friends in attendance. I wore a tux and she wore a beautiful red qi pao. We spent maybe 500 dollars for the whole affair including dinner for our guests after the weddng. It is the second marriage for both of us and neither wanted an extravagant affair. Good luck and remember the memories are what counts not the cost. Link to comment

Yuanyang Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Although we are married, the family wants another ceremony here. I'm not sure what that'll be, I don't think wifey cares. Link to comment
