What wedding traditions did you partake in? Any you disagree with?
 
What about the money dance? I'm Mexican & it's part of our culture. I'm planning on doing it at our reception, but a good handful of DH's family are racist & often make racist comments in front of me. I don't want to fuel the fire (they're idiots & I know a certain few will have something negative to say) but its part of my culture that I'm expected, & want, to participate in.
 
I'm also doing the bouquet toss, garter toss, first dance with DH, & first dance with my father. Anyone else have any neat traditions you did? 4951

got drunk
 
@mm4731:
Well we're of course getting 3 kegs. It's going to be a party, not a stuffy snooze fest that everyone can't wait to leave. Gotta have booze! 4951

Does your husband know that some of his friends make racist remarks in front of you?  He should be told.One of my uncles married a Mexican woman in San Antonio.  He broke off contact with his family and they claimed they didn't know why.  The reason was that his siblings would say ugly and racists remarks about, and in front of, his wife.As for weddings, my only comment is that I think people tend to spend WAY too much on weddings.  Other than that, do what you want to do. 4951

When I got married, we did the "unity candle" where we light the candle together and it symbolizes our unity.  I was nervous, so I didn't blow out the long match that I used to help light the candle.  My dad was mouthing "blow it out, blow it out" so I blew out the unity candle.  I heard my dad whisper "That was short lived".  We should have seen this as the sign of the future that it was.  Emoticon 4951

Don't forget about cutting the cake, and if he shoves it in your face, divorce him the next day! 4951

@pksbar: We're both jokesters. I'm going to ram it in his face & he'll probably just get some icing on my upper lip. He knows better than to ruin a full face of makeup on a big day, lol.

@pksbar:  I never did understand starting a marriage by shoving cake in each others face.

@Retired_Engineer: None of them are stupid enough to say racial remarks ABOUT ME in front of me. I'm always the bigger person & overlook the remarks to avoid conflict, but if it was ever about me or my family, I'd go ape crap & things would get ugly, lol. And it's not his friends, it's his family. They say racial remarks about mexicans at literally every single family event. On father's day, they even threw in the 'N' word as well. I tell DH & he's usually around to hear first hand, but he was raised around it. He knows better & is honestly the least racist person I know. He's so kind & accepting that it boggles my mind that he was raised around such ignorant jerks. It's not his sisters or parents making the remarks (his mom did when we first started dating but hasn't said a racial thing about me since having DD). I asked DH if he thought any of his family would say anything around my very mexican family at the wedding & his response was "They're rednecks but they aren't that stupid." I've asked my dad to say something sweet in spanish during his toast just to take a little dig at them though, lol.

@Retired_Engineer: it's just for fun I guess. Instead of shoving cake in each others face @Heathur and her new husband should throw it at the ignorant jackasses at her wedding Emoticon
 
@mm4731: That's a waste of cake! lol

Any thoughts on the money dance in general as a tradition? 4951

@Heathur: make sure you do it before people get too drunk or you'll have guys trying to pin the $$ on your boobs
 
@mm4731: Oh hell to the no. No one's pinning anything on my $1k+ dress. Someone will stand next to me holding a BAG to put the money in. Same for DH. It's how we did it at my sister's wedding too. Plus you're right, I don't want any drunkies getting grabby, lol.
