My answers:
1: When was the last time you attended a wedding? Last September in Michigan.
2: Should we continue the tradition of "white wedding dresses"? I think they are silly, something that is worn only once. And I would look strange in one.
3: Have you been a part of a bachelor or bachelorette party? No, never invited to one.
4: What was the strangest wedding you have ever seen? The ex-husband of my ex's middle sister, in the mid 1980s in Ocoee Florida. It was a redneck affair, I never knew anyone made blue jean suits. Budweiser served in cans. We left before the fights broke out.
5: Do you cry at weddings? Yes, I am a softy.
Please share your answers in the comments.
When was the last time you attended a wedding? A year ago.
ReplyDeleteShould we continue the tradition of "white wedding dresses"? Not for me to care.
Have you been a part of a bachelor or bachelorette party? Yes, Many. I even popped out of a cake once in drag!
What was the strangest wedding you have ever seen? Not strange, but a different wedding was when my cousin got married in the mountain outside in the woods. They are borderline hippies, but it was wonderful and pretty with tons of wildflowers every year. My family has always been very nature related.
Do you cry at weddings? No
Is there video of you popping out of a cake?
Delete1: When was the last time you attended a wedding? Late 2010.
ReplyDelete2: Should we continue the tradition of "white wedding dresses"? Makes no difference to me.
3: Have you been a part of a bachelor or bachelorette party? Yes.
4: What was the strangest wedding you have ever seen? The groom was 2 hours late. The DJ didn’t show. The bride went home and brought back her tape deck.
5: Do you cry at weddings? Sometimes.
2- hours! There would be swearing and tears.
DeleteIt was bizarre. We all just sat and chatted. He strolled in with his best man as if nothing was wrong.
DeleteWhen my aunt married Dick, he was warned that if he was late, what would happen. He was ontime. My aunt was late to her own funeral (a bridge was washed out.)
Delete1. About six years ago when my sister married her now wife. They had previously married when for a short time it was legal in Australian Capital Territory, but the law was changed and all marriages were anulled.
ReplyDelete2. I don't care. Whatever they like as long as it looks nice.
3. Is a bachelor party what we call a buck's night? Yes, one when I was young.
4. I've been to five. At one the food was due five hours after the ceremony. We left before the food was served.
5. I have become teary at times.
Five hours is a long cocktail hour, even in Australia
Delete1: When was the last time you attended a wedding? It was my friend Tony's second wedding in January 2020. I was his best man for the second time.
ReplyDelete2: Should we continue the tradition of "white wedding dresses"? Yes why not? I think it is good that virgins should announce their purity.
3: Have you been a part of a bachelor or bachelorette party? Never - Thank God!
4: What was the strangest wedding you have ever seen? I have never been to a strange wedding though I have been to a big Muslim wedding where the female and male guests enjoyed their wedding meals in separate rooms.
5: Do you cry at weddings? That has been known for I am a poet and therefore a big softie!
And a talented poet.
Delete1. Honest to g-d, I think it was my own, 15 years ago. Before that, I do not remember.
ReplyDelete2. It's fine for cos play, but would you buy a pair of shoes without trying them on?
No one is fooling anyone with "white".
3. I have not. Phew.
4. I have not been to a strange wedding.
5. Never. Or at funerals for that matter.
Wedding and Funerals, life's big events. I was late to a funeral once.
Delete1. I haven't been to a wedding in years, probably at least 10-15 years. These days in my age group, funerals are more common.
ReplyDelete2. White wedding dresses? If that's what the bride wants, fine. But equally fine to wear something else. The symbolism behind the white dress is offensive and oppressive if you stop to think about it. Of course, that's true for much wedding symbolism.
3. No, I've never been subjected to a bachelorette party, thank the goddess.
4. I've been to quite a few non-traditional weddings (lesbian and/or pagan handfastings) but I wouldn't call them strange. Traditional hetero weddings can be quite dull by comparison.
5. Do I cry at weddings? Sometimes.
Wedding symbolism is very oppressive, and the history is even worse.
Delete1: When was the last time you attended a wedding? Our friends Neal and David were married in 2016.
ReplyDelete2: Should we continue the tradition of "white wedding dresses"? It's a bit antiquated, no? The so-called purity!
3: Have you been a part of a bachelor or bachelorette party? Years back. It wasn't as much debauchery and I'd hoped.
4: What was the strangest wedding you have ever seen? Ours, because my whole life I never thought it possible.
5: Do you cry at weddings? Ours, yes.
Our wedding was fun, a small gathering, we knew everyone who was there. I even relaxed and simply paid the bill.
Delete1: When was the last time you attended a wedding? June 2024
ReplyDelete2: Should we continue the tradition of "white wedding dresses"? The bride should wear whatever color she wants.
3: Have you been a part of a bachelor or bachelorette party? No.
4: What was the strangest wedding you have ever seen? We went to a wedding where the TV show "Bridezilla" filmed the wedding. Lots of dramatic scenes made for TV. That marriage lasted five months.
5: Do you cry at weddings? I cried at my childrens' weddings.
Bridezilla and five months seems about right,
Delete1. June 6th - my niece Kelli married her partner, Rose, and it was a lovely day.
ReplyDelete2. They can wear what they want as it is their day.
3. I don't think so.
4. Not "strange" but interesting and unusual - 2 of my sons had weddings in different countries - 1 in China and 1 in Rwanda. Amazing traditions that were like nothing I had ever seen before. But joyful days!
5. No
Interesting travel for weddings.
Delete1: When was the last time you attended a wedding? In August of 2023

Weddings should be happy, and stress free.
