All about Weddings!

My husband and I were married in a civil ceremony. For our dream church wedding, I would like a grand one. I will probably start by choosing a theme--fairy with butterflies, hawaiian or cinderella theme would be great. Church and reception decorations/settings, tokens, music and food would follow the chosen theme.

wedding comes one time in life .................. So I like a big fastival on wedding. I will call all my relatives and friends in my wedding. The onether thing I will also make big set for my wedding. Me and my wife will go to give cards of our wedding togather in near relationship.

Mine was not too grand, nor too simple. It was just right for us. We got married in a small chapel, with solemn Catholic ceremonies. Reception was at a Chinese restaurant with elegant interiors and good food. The wedding was exactly as I would have wanted it, and we're both very happy on our wedding day. We didn't want an outdoor wedding because we didn't want the added stress of worrying about the weather. As there was a typhoon during our wedding day, we're so glad we had an indoor ceremony and reception. It made the guests even more special since they especially came to see us on such a bad weather.

What I can share is my dream wedding. Coz my hubby and I are still planning for the "church" wedding. I would like to have a graden wedding full of different flowers. I like butterflies and have the love of relatives and friends floating in the air. I don't like a huge wedding. around 30pax would be enough to keep the solemnity of the affair. :)

my hubby and i had both a civil and church wedding. but the church wedding was more significant for us because preparing for it took us a year and we were really hands-on about it. i could say that it was intimate yet grand at the same time. only people we knew and were close to were invited. what made it grand was the ceremony and reception venue and the yummy food. my gown was very special as well.

I was engaged for 4 and a half years before getting married. Hubby and I were the ones who prepared for our wedding. Though we wanted to keep it really simple, it just couldn't be done. His IMMEDIATE family was already way beyond 100 people. We ended up having 322 guests. What I really loved about our wedding was that it was very personalized. To the littlest detail, we were the one who prepared it. It was avery successful wedding done in a beautiful church and a beautiful reception venue :)

Well I haven't had the opportunity to actually plan my wedding yet because my boyfriend hasn't even proposed, but that doesn't mean I don't dream or make plans in my head! When we get married I picture it as a fairly private occassion (maybe 25 people attending the ceremony itself) and it will likely take place at a park overlooking the lake (located near my parents house) but then I plan on having a big reception where everyone can dance and have a nice time.

we initially wanted to have an intimate wedding but ended up having a grand one. we had so many relatives and friends that we just had to invite them. imagine, 450 guests! it took us over a year to prepare for it. but seeing the outcome made it all worthwhile. we had a blast! it was one day in our lives that we will cherish forever.

Intimate and elope. We will be surrounded by friends and family during ceremony and reception, a small gathering on a tropical beach resort where we will have our honeymoon also. It's practical and cost efficient. My wedding as Cinderella theme, but we only did that since our families thought elope wasn't polite.

well as for me, i'd like to share my wedding with people who are close to us. it may not be as grand as celebrity weddings but if it was heartfelt and sincere, i think it would be much better. a simple garden wedding would be nice. ^_^

i would say my wedding was both intimate and grand. it wasn't too simple nor too grand. it was fun coz it also became a family reunion for us coz almost all of our relatives from other countries were there. the wedding prep took us about one and a half year. everyone enjoyed it and it was the best wedding for us!

I love weddings! I must say I enjoyed preparing for the wedding as much as I did my wedding day itself. I did not get any coordinators. It is a once in a lifetime event, I cannot afford to pass the opportunity to anybody else. I experienced preparing the wedding with my husband, with my family, and with my inlaws. If I can do everything in do-it-yourself style, I'll probably do it. It's a perfect time to bond with your loved ones.

Well!my wedding was a very grand one!All credit of the arrangements of my wedding goes to my parents and in laws.Almost 800 people attended our wedding.I was so delighted when so many people were blessing us to have a wonderful life.It was a very great get togeather of all of our freinds and relatives.It was such a memorable occassion and will remain evergreen in my heart for years to come.

We only prepared for out wedding for 6 months, and we were still very happy with the outcome. We got married in sweden, my husband is american, so I guess all his relatives coming over from the states made it more special. It was a great mixture of the two cultures.

i dream for my wedding to a grand one but in real i feel that spending on marriage so much, instead we can plan something good for living after all marriage is an anouncement that these people are getting married and will be sharing each others sorrow and happiness to each other. myself and my boyfriend have planned for simple marriage like going to court and registering there and keeping a reception where all our friends and family members can join us and bless us. But my parents want it to be a grand one. the only reason for that is, i am there only daughter.

no thinkk about the preparation of my marriage.

wedding is an important function in each and everyones life...it doesnt matter how grandly u celebrate...it does matter to have all our well-wishers, family members and loved ones...that is wat matters

My first wedding was at my parents home and it went how my mother wanted it.I really didn't care.I wasn't wanting tomarry the guy in the first place, I was pregnant and my father made me.I was only 17.I did have a big cake and the white wedding dress and the works, but it stil was small, it was held in my parents livingroom,and the reception was in the small kitchen. I was glad when it was over!My 2nd and 3rd weddings was really fast ones, my 2nd was at the judges house, he had just got a shower ,no shirt on and the song was blasting Blue by LeeAnn Rimes,and then that was done,my 3rd was at the office of the judge.So it was really fast! If I could have a wedding my way it would be nice ,and just 4 other people with us, somewheres on a beach or maybe in Tenn.But for my daughters I want them to have what they want.And I will help of course but they will make the big choices .I will do what they ask, no questions,except to my husband, how much more money can we have?LOL!

Before I got married, I used to get carried away at weddings that I attend. I always imagine myself being the bride, having everyone's undivided attention on me...everything about the church and reception in perfect harmony and order. When I began planning our original church wedding back in 2000, I had big plans and dreams...without realizing how expensive those plans entailed. At the time, hubby was still a struggling employee trying to make ends meet for his parents and brothers. I knew deep in my heart, we wouldn't be able to afford a wedding with all the works. As it turned out, the events in our life took a turn and we weren't able to give ourselves the church wedding of our dreams. In 2001, we had a very simple civil wedding ceremony at the Hall of Justice in Cebu. So simple that I wasn't even in a dress then - I was wearing my usual office attire of blouse and pants. Our "reception" was at nearby Max's Restaurant in Fuente Osmena. Money was so tight, I couldn't afford to have my family fly in from Manila to attend the ceremony. For sometime during the first two years of my marriage, I harbored some feelings of regret for not having a proper church wedding. And when I got pregnant with my son, all hopes that a church wedding will be in the offing, disappeared. Then came the very dark and rocky part of my marriage that almost left me with no hope of having a peaceful family life. But our God is a generous and understanding God. He knows what's best for us and also our deepest desires. All my life, I wanted a fairy tale wedding, and that dream clouded my understanding of what a wedding stood for - it's the gateway to marriage...just the gate and not the journey. And so when I had a taste of the bitter and the sweet of married life, it was then I realized that the scale of one's wedding (grand & regal) is not what's important in getting married. It was the readiness and the marriage itself that was important. In 2006, we were able to have our long-awaited church wedding. It wasn't the high-scale wedding of my dreams in terms of quality and expense but it was the wedding of my dreams in terms of the meaning and solemnity. Because everything that was important in having the wedding was there - my hubby, myself, our son, our daughter (in my womb), the priest, God and most especially, the learnings we gained from the pains our marriage endured. It was low-key but very colorful (our motiff consisted of 4 colors: orange, yellow, aqua and sea green) as our decor reflected the spirit of the occasion and our guests were in a myriad of colors. Our ceremony was held in a quaint chapel and the reception in a nearby resto. And even though our parents couldn't join us, we were able to be with them as they gave their wishes via a video presentation. Our wedding preps took about a month and a half to do, with myself working on most of the details hands on. In the end, we were able to have the real wedding of our hearts for less than P40k (inclusive of a week-long Palawan getaway)...ain't that a blast?

in india wedding is a big festival itself every one spends all their savings for the big day many of them even get loans to do so - a big prestige problem generally nearly 1000s people turn out and more the no shows your social status
