ok here goes my list: -no stds -no reply cards for our invites, but a phone number instead -evening wedding with no sit down dinner, but only a late night buffet -getting married in the same place as my reception, therefore no church -no real wedding dress, I'll be wearing a bridesmaid dress -no bridesmaids or anything -fh and i live together, sleep together and will most def be spending the night before the wedding together and most of the morning. -absolutely NO flowers... still trying to think of something to carry other than a bouquet. -no decorations in the venue at all , except we are putting extra effort into having gorgeous tables. -cash bar, however we may have wine for each table. -no traditional dances, except our first dance I'm sure theres more, but I can't think of them right now! ME TOO!!

Let's see:
-not wearing a veil
-getting married by marriage commissioner
-no save the dates OR reply cards (gave email addresses instead)
-cash bar
-not renting a limo (getting married in same place as reception)
Hmm, the thing is, I don't really know about many traditions, so I don't know which ones I've left out

| What we didn't do I don't consider tradition. But reading some of the posts I guess most of you do. 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  - 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.
