I'm getting married at the hotel as opposed to a church. My father's soon to be 2nd ex-wife who is a judge will be performing the ceremony.

We're not having a bouquet/garter toss.

We sent out STD's ( paper kind) to OOT Guests only.

We started living together before we got engaged and bought a house (and are living in it *Gasp*) Before the wedding.

No late night sweet/ seafood table - Who eats those things anyways? We will just be serving cake!

- Brass quintet for the ceremony music;
[/quote]

OMG, I would LOVE to have a brass quintet for our ceremony music!! (I'm a trumpet player.) [/quote]

I'm a trumpet player too! *waves* I've been playing since I was 11, and I've been dreaming of a brass quintet for my ceremony since I was 15... It's the only thing I had decided before we got engaged, and there was no way I would settle for anything else![/quote]

Do I remember correctly that you're in Ottawa? Which brass quintet do you have?

For my former engagement, I nearly managed to get some guys from the NAC to play (I knew them from university), but the wedding was called off. (Turned out to be a good decision!)

ETA - I've been playing since I was 12. I've taken breaks (like when I had kids) but I never fully give it up.[/quote]

I'm in Montréal, actually. My mom's from Ottawa and her family's still there so I bought my dress there and a bunch of stuff at Michael's. The best quintet are professional musicians, but they're not an official brass quintet, if you will. I've been friends with a professional trumpet player for years and she's putting this together for me as a wedding present.

We are doing a few things "differently":

2 flower girls, no ring bearer - flower girls are carrying wands instead of baskets of petals or bouquets
No engagement party but 1 co-ed shower and 2 separate bridal showers have been planned already
No bachelorette - spa day instead
No engagement photos
No STDs
Invites are on recycled paper with vegetable based ink, and RSVPs are postcards
Vegan wedding cake!
No WP dance
No garter/bouquet toss
Receiving line might not happen
First dance will not be a slow dance and we probably won't dance the whole thing by ourselves (inviting little kids to join us)
We will have been living together for 2 years before the wedding and are buying a house this summer (wedding's not til '09)
No honeymoon until 2 years after wedding (FH has to finish law school)
Guests will be signing hockey jersey instead of guestbook
Guests must score on one of those plastic goalies in order for us to kiss
No limos - we're thinking of chartering a bus
That's all I can think of for now!

RE: Traditions You Broke & Don't Care

dmotkoski — Mon, 12 May 2008 16:24:29 GMT

[quote][b]huntertobe (4/25/2008)[/b][hr]so inside our rings we wrote "pigsh!t sept 22 2007" :D

apparently the guy in montreal that inscribed them called our jeweller like 3 or 4 times just to make sure he wasn't playing a prank on him! :D

i'm kind of wishing i had thought of rikke's ideas though! :P hahahha![/quote]

Mags, I totally thought of this when I was watching License to Wed. The ring gets inscribed wrong, and I kept thinking "They should've called to double check, like they did with Maggie's ring..." LOL

I don't know if anyone else said this yet, and I know it's just a typo, but I got this imagine of a wedding tradition where people are swinging alligators around! ROFL

RE: Traditions You Broke & Don't Care

amanda222 — Thu, 08 May 2008 14:05:09 GMT

I had quite a few...

* Chose a "non-traditional" engagement ring - six smaller diamonds of equal size, similar to what most people seem to have as a wedding band

* I did send STDs, which ended up being untraditional as it was the first time most people had ever even heard of them (I actually didn't really feel a need for them, just wanted to make them!)

* No envelopes for reply cards, just a postcard

* Our "rehearsal dinner" was basically us providing Subway for the WP and OOT guests in a meeting room in the hotel

* We lived together already, and stayed at home together the night before

* My dress didn't have a train (and I bought it online)

* My first wedding, but DH's second

* 2 MOHs (plus 2 bridesmaids)

* Didn't go to a florist, just a gerbera grower for 160 orange gerberas; did the bouquets myself; no flowers for anyone other than me and the girls in the WP

* Took photos before the ceremony

* No limo - rented a Chrysler 300 for the whole week before, and DH drove us from the photo location to the hall

* We had the ceremony in the hall, with everyone already seated at their tables, and opened the bar immediately after

* Toonie bar

* No bouquet/garter toss

* No receiving line

* Waited a week to go on the honeymoon, but still didn't do a gift-opening or anything the next day (although we did get up early enough to meet OOT guests for continental breakfast in the hotel, which shocked everyone considering how much wine I'd had ;))

Actually, this is the third wedding that he has helped plan/pay for but his last fiance called off the wedding two weeks before hand. Everything was paid for (by him!) they just didn't get to use anything that he had bought! They lost all of their deposits too, because of the late cancellation.

peach125 — Fri, 02 May 2008 16:59:21 GMT

Oh, and as for the question if it is illegal to not do a late night buffet...I doubt that's true. I can't imagine a law that would place such a burden on hosts to pay out because their guests can't hold their liquor. Especially given, just because someone eats something doesn't mean they are no longer inebriated. Rather, I think it's about being the responsible host such that if you are serving alcohol at your functions, you should take all reasonable steps to make sure no one drives home drunk.

Which in a way, goes a bit beyond just feeding them, although making sure they have rides home doesn't necessarily cost you directly.

RE: Traditions You Broke & Don't Care

peach125 — Fri, 02 May 2008 16:56:07 GMT

We were pretty traditional, but the following were met with "but it's TRADITION" in our Italian families.

-no flower girl/ring boy --- we didn't have any kids we were close to.

-no BP dance

-no "real" favours --- we donated to the cardiac ward of Sick Kids Hospital. Although we got some flack for it, we are proud of our decision and made another donation to mark our first anniversary --- that will become our personal tradition.

-reception was downtown, far from where the family lived.

-all friends in our BP --- being Italian, the fact that I didn't have every cousin who ever had me, my brother, or my parents was a big deal.

-no traditional music

but my absolute favourite:

-pasta WITHOUT tomato sauce

[quote][b]EngdInMex (4/24/2008)[/b][hr]The only thing we're not doing that I've been getting a lot of flack for is not giving out "tradtional" favours. Instead we'll be making a donation to an organization called Project Canoe that provides therapeutic portaging trips to children and adolescents living in foster care or group homes.

We are doing most of the rest of that stuff though....does that make me a square?

I've always pictured myself having the bouquet toss and cake cutting and all that stuff:blush:[/quote]

Good for you for sticking to your guns about this one. Giving to an organization is much more meaningful and a better way of spending money than on some favour that will be tossed in a cabinet and forgotten about. I on the other hand didn't have the energy to deal with my mother so she won on this one.

As for non-traditional - we are hearing a lot of gossip that people are disappointed about the fact that we are not having a mid-night seafood table. IMO, you can stuff your faces on the other 7 courses we are serving and shut the f*** up! Besides, FH is deathly allergic to shell fish - how awesome would that be to spend the wedding night in emerge because we didn't want our guests to miss out on some crab!

2) I am wearing camo crocks, with white dress.

3) We have been been together 3 years, 4 before we are married.

4) He has two daughters.

5) Shotgun shell favors (unloaded plastic shells filled with M&M's)

I thought we were going to break a lot more traditions than we actually did but when I actually sat down to respond to this I couldn't think of that many!

- We got married on the beach in Jamaica
- No engagement photos
- No garter toss, although there was a napkin toss, lol
- We slept together the night before and ate breakfast together the day of
- Just a MOH and BM, no bridesmaids or groomsmen
- No STD's... though we did let everyone know through word of mouth
- Lived together for four years before wedding... or was it five... no I think it was four lol

Stange the more I read on here about "normal", "traditional" and "right" makes me really see that it is such a pesonal opinion of these things, you know what I mean?

- We did not get marreid in "my" church (i'm Roman Catholic by baptisim, but they would not marry us b/c DH is divorced, so we married in the United church)

- no STD (never even heard of them until I joind this board. I thought STD was a whole different thing!)

- Only feed supper to wedding party, parents, siblings & MC.

- no wine on tables at reception

- cash bar

- lived with Dh for 5 years before we got married

- My brother stood on my side

- Did not consumate the marriage on the wedding night :P

- I'm sure there is more, but as I said it's such a personal opinion, that I'm sure someone would find something I don't see if they looked into our wedding.[/quote]

From what I hear that is the norm. We have a bridal room at the venue so I'm going to try to consumate the marriage before dinner :D

For those ladies that aren't serving a late night snack in Ontario that's illegal. If you are serving alcohol you have to provide your guests with some form of food. I would head to the nearest LCBO they'll be able to clarify my ramblings.[/quote]

Really? I haven't been told that by my venue or my wedding planner. I'll have to email her and ask.[/quote]

This is also the case in Manitoba[/quote]

WP said "You need to put out some sort of snacks for people to absorb the alcohol, Just make sure you have coffee tea and a few sandwiches that should be ok. You don't need to put out a huge spread."[/quote]

We didn't have a late night snack.. and I was never told by my hall that I had to have one.... Is this a new law ? I got married last April in Ontario...We were never told this .... *phew* lucky I never got caught if this was the case...

RE: Traditions You Broke & Don't Care

8. The best man has multiple piercing and tattoos + 5 inch mohawk...wouldn't ask him to change a thing.

9. Not serving cake

10. Candy buffet is the only favor

11. You need to make a donation to the Autism society and do don't forget the lyrics to get us to kiss.

12. joint stag/stagette party at Wasaga on the long weekend!! WOO!

13. Wedding party dance is going to be Aerosmith Walk this Way sock hop style (form 2 lines, dance down the middle) or a combo on 90's dance music.

14. no limo...white SUV's (so much cheaper to rent)

15. my garter will have a ducati motorcycle pin on it (if I can find one).

16. We're not having the reception at The Black Sea hall like the last 10 people in my family...hahaha!

RE: Traditions You Broke & Don't Care

catrina26 — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 23:32:06 GMT

Love this post!

traditions we broke:

married away in a DW, not in a Catholic church

only BM and MOH, after firing our entire wedding party :P

slept together the night before and had breakfast together morning of

lived together for three years before we married

No formal stagette, stag, etc. before the wedding, DH had one after

reception will be exactly 6 months after wedding, and only to appease whiny family

no bouquet toss

ANd we had the absolute best wedding we could have imagined! Who cares about traditions!!

RE: Traditions You Broke & Don't Care

MrsSixer — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 16:45:23 GMT

Well, here's what I thought of:

both parents are walking me down the aisle
no reading of 1st Corinthians (ugh it bugs me)
my 1/2 sister that my fathers side of the family doesn't know exists is doing a reading at the wedding and will be identified in the program as "Beth's sister"... should make for some interesting conversation
stepmom is listed under "Bride's parents" in program
having photos done together before ceremony & we are wearing our bands!
if the budget is too lean, we may end up with no wine on the tables, though I REALLY want it
cash bar, cause seriously, I have been to a LOT of weddings and I have never seen anything else!
never heard of STD's (not the viral kind! LOL), midnight buffets, buck & doe's, and lots of other things before I joined this board, so not doing them!
not handing out trinket favours, having a candy buffet instead. Those who think it's weird need not take the candy!
not having a gift opening the day after (can't handle opening presents in front of people... my shower tomorrow should be interesting)
no children invited to wedding
single friends were invited solo
co-workers and some friends were invited to dance only and everyone is ok with it
wearing mary jane Crocs (yes crocs) for reception

Ohh... I am sure there are more!

[quote][b]rosetta08 (4/24/2008)[/b][hr]I don't think that most guests expect to observe tradition--- there doesn't seemed to be alot of brides and grooms who go the traditional route and so it is not such a bad thing. As for favours, it seems silly to give trinkets that no-one keeps and ends up at a garage sale.

I guess with the exception of a religious or cultural tradition that is specific to the bride and groom background then giving in to some small traditions I guess wouldn't hurt us.

I know that my Mom is having a small table of food for anyone who comes to the house before the ceremony--( it is a Portuguese tradition) it seems silly to spend money for small cookies and such, but she believes that it is a special blessing that only the family can give to me... I didn't want to do it but finally after weeks of quiet suffering on her part that I finally gave in.

But we have decided to for go other traditional things, like favours, Unity candles and throwing the bouquet.[/quote]

That is the most perfectly worded description for my mother's way of dealing with my desicions she doesn't like! Oh, I need to remember that!
