-no veil
-not a typical bouquet toss (all the women will be able to try and catch it)
-no reception dance (although we may go dance at the one lobby bar witha love band)
-not being "given away"
-my Mom is walking our kids down the isle
-barefoot
-legal ceremony already done, so only a symbolic DW
-no rehersal dinner (although we may all meet up together for supper anyway)
-white dress with turquoise on it
-father/daughter mother/son dance will be done with our kids rather than our parents (if we go dancing at the lobby bar)
That dollar dance sounds fun, although I have never heard of it before. Around here people usually just kidnap the bride for an hour or so and have to raise a ransom before they bring her back. To collect the ransom, a cowboy boot is usually pasted around. During the kidnapping, the bride usually takes off to a bar to go dancing for a few songs before heading back to the reception!

Oooooh I have a good one...today actually my FI is going wedding dress shopping with me! I have narrowed it down to 4-5 different dresses and I REALLY want his opinion on them (otherwise I have this fear that he will just HATE the dress)...so we are going today! He won't actually know which one I end up getting but he will have seen me in the dress already!

Great thread! I go to weddings every weekend so there are so many things I don't want to do!
`Both parents walking me down the aisle
`No children under 16
`No ring bearer/flower girl
`my ceremony is going to be in the round
`no garter/bouquet toss
`no cake cutting - and no cake! (cupcakes)
`No religious ceremony
`Seeing each other before and he will see my dress
`No money/Honeymoon dance (they are popular on the West coast too)
`No regular veil (birdcage)
`after-party at same location (its a rental place with rooms)
`No limo
