A surprise wedding =]
I love the crazy ruffle dresses but they weren't in style when i was dress shopping. I missed the trend by like 6 months. Bummers. Makes me wish I got married in 2010 instead of 2009 a little bit!
A honeymoon registry - where people can gift you things to do on the honeymoon (dinner, snorkeling adventure, etc.) or part of your hotel or airfare. I didn't think our families would go for it!
i love the idea of those wedding that have a like a taco car or a street vendor for the food... i love that idea but family will not go with that...
Oooo, now I'm feeling the same way about all of the above mentioned! Taco trucks? Um, awesome!
Wearing a birdcage veil. I know it's a small thing relative to weddings, but I love the look! I just can't seem to bring myself to wear one.
The short wedding dress, love the look of it, but ultimately I want something more traditional.
Dancing down the aisle!!!! I think it would be so much fun! :)
A destination wedding! I would have loved to go to Mauritius to get married but FH really wanted to be married here, in the city that he was born and raised in. But getting married on a beach still haunts my dreams.
Tacos?!
Thanks for reminding me--i want to make those authentic slow-cooked asada style tacos with soft shredded beef....in corn tortillas....
Drool
The short wedding dress. I even tried one on! But I knew my mom would have a coniption fit if that's what I chose. I also really like candy bars, but had never seen/heard of one until I was planning, and by then it was kinda too late, we already had other stuff we were set on (i.e. ice sculpture). I really wanted mismatched bridesmaids dresses too, but my husband didn't like that idea.
ok, this is one thing I really, really REALLY wanted to do at our wedding. I wanted to have the wedding party and my husband and I do THIS dance. from Pride and Prejudice. I even printed out the dance steps to learn them. My husband was all for it and so were my bridesmaids, but he worried that 1)some of the guys wouldnt do it(probably true) and 2) we didnt have enough time to practice with so many of them from out of town. Sigh. so... we didnt do it.
SOMEONE should do it though!!
Mine isn't necessarily that I am not daring enough, but just that it's not as "us" as the wedding I am planning . . . It would be my fantasy second wedding. It would have a kind of gothic victorian Alice in Wonderland theme. Think Ashlee Simpson's wedding but even more over the top!
Eloping. And by eloping I mean calling in a personal day at work, jumping on a plane, getting hammered, and having an Elvis wedding in Vegas. I honestly wanted to, but we found that our families are really looking forward to a wedding to attend. I'm enjoying the planning and building this great love day, but a part of me just wants to rebel with my middle finger in the air as I jetset away.
My fiance's family is fairly traditional and will be horrified enough that we aren't holding our ceremony in their family church. While we both emphatically support gay marriage and I really wanted to put something flagrantly obvious in our ceremony regarding this issue, I'm going with more subtle concepts instead, i.e. making no reference to gender in the ceremony text and having the Goodridge v Massachusetts Dept of Public Health text printed, in full, on the last page of our programs. It kind of feels like I'm wussing out, but I've come to accept that making his relatives feel uncomfortable isn't going to allow my friends Tim and Doug to get married any sooner.
(And quite honestly, while I've never asked them point-blank, I'm fairly certain that they all support gay marriage. But they'd find it too untraditional to include that sentiment in the ceremony itself.)
I also going to say tea-length wedding dress, I would LOVE an awesome retro dress from Dolly Couture or Whirling Turban... but I went with something more traditional.
I am not much of a girly girl & I have some what of a punk rock style & I really wanted to do a mostly black wedding dress with white accents at first but decided against it, because I knew what my family would say.
Well I then decided I was going for a funky shoe.. I wanted Zebra (funny you said that lol) but I could not find anything in my size... (tiny feet) guess this doesnt count as much but I decided to at least stay a little true to my own personal style by getting me some awesome new purple Converse. My colors are all shades of purples! I was originally just going to wear them to the reception but my Fiance loved the idea and said why not just wear them the whole time... even when i showed them to my mom without saying anything other than I found my wedding shoes and pulling them out of the box the first thing she said was ..... that is definately you.
I forgot to add that we do intend to do a funny first dance though ... if FIance doesnt chicken out before then
I'd love to do a candy bar (as in a bar with bunches of different candies) or a cupcake tiered wedding cake - but my husband hates those ideas.
I loved the show Rock the Reception on TLC. I would love to do our first dance choreographed by the show, but I'm a chicken
I'm too chicken to do a first dance -- but I kinda want to! :(
A completely meat-free reception. Sigh. I only caved on wild-caught Alaskan salmon, which is just about the most meticulously well-managed fishery in the world, so it's not a huge breach of my ideals, but I just wish I had the balls to stare down everyone and "force" them to enjoy a delicious, flavorful, filling meat-free meal without being made to feel like an awful host.
[Edit] I just asked this as a hypothetical to my bridesmaid (who is not planning a wedding, but just for kicks), and she said getting a tattoo with her fiancee. Definitely a daring idea.
That's sad, LittlestBirds. We're having a vegan reception catered by NYC awesomeness Candle 79, and everyone's going to love it (or else...)! If someone complains, screw them. I think that a guest becoming morally indignant because your wedding WASN'T the cause for the slaughter of dozens of animals is just ridiculous. And vegetarian food, just like non-vegetarian food, is AWESOME when prepared well.
I'm a big cyclist, and I would REALLY love to ride my bike to the wedding (but the wedding is 3 hours away, we're doing a weekend destination wedding at a ranch in Eastern WA). I also really want to have my dog at the wedding, plus there are obvious logistical challenges with getting there on a bicycle and not in a vehicle, so I'm not going to do that. Instead, I think we're going to go on a bike ride from there with a bunch of friends.
We are also doing a lot of rather non-traditional things- I'm going with a tea length dress, we're having this amazing gourmet street food airstream trailer do the food (Skillet Street Food, based in Seattle), and we are doing only free range chicken/ sustainably caught fish/ seasonal food, getting flowers from the local farmers' markety, and having a friend marry us. So, it won't be very conventional at all!

I love me some 'feather dresses' (you know, the ones with the bottoms that are feathers or the fabric is layered to look like feathers,) but I think that would be just a little too much for my traditional family.
Just curious - anything you bees would like to do for your wedding but are holding back on because it's just a bit too 'daring' for you? Zebra print shoes, funky first dance, etc.?
