    Have you gals ever been to a wedding (main reception) where the Bride and Groom were too all over each other?  Or, if you were in a situation where you at a reception and they were (hypethetically), would you be uncomfortable, or would you just think, "it's their day, their wedding, it doesn't matter"?

    Yes, I have. Too much PDA makes me SUPER nervous. It makes me nervous just to think about it. lol

    I've totally never seen this, but I can imagine it would be really, really weird.

    We're skipping the bouquet and garter toss for the same reason! I want FI exploring the inside of my dress in the privacy of our hotel room. (: And the bouquet toss is just embarassing, frankly.

    I haven't seen this happen before, but extreme PDA would make me feel uncomfortable.

    YES I have. Oh gosh it was so strange. They had the DJ annouce that the following song was a special request of the bride and groom. The song? "Bump and Grind" by R. Kelly. They proceeded to well....bump and grind in the middle of a big circle of people. It was just a bit much.

    While people expect there to be some PDA going on at a wedding, there is a fine line that leads to too much. In real life, I have never seen any couple act like that. Typically they're apart visiting with everyone the majority of the time and the only time they are together is for the first dance, cake cutting, etc. While watching wedding videos and such online, I have felt very awkward at how intimate some couples do get but from what I have personally seen, that's extreme.

    It's kind of gross to think about.. like when you see a married preganant woman, you don't want to think about how she got that way..

    Ugh, I've never seen it, but I know a few couples who will do it at their upcoming wedding. It's like some people just can't control themselves! Ew gross!

    Too much PDA anywhere weirds me out. It's like they have something to prove. Or something.

    See, getting the garter in general is obscene to me. Really, the bride is sitting, the groom has his head up her dress, pretty much next to her area... yeah.

    PDA usually doesn't bother me, espcially at a wedding. We are def doing the garter! We're going to stay together for the whole night, visiting tables and everything else together. I hope no one judges us for being too touchy feely with each other... but I'm not going to hold back my love!

    This isn't really wedding related, but PDA is out of control for some people...

     

    I just got home from walking to Starbucks, and in LINE at the Starbucks there was a couple totally making out. Yes, I know, we're a block from GaTech, but c'mon. It's not a Friday morning and you didn't just wake up from a 1-night stand. It's 9:45 on a Thursday morning.

    *grumble*

    I hate when it's overly choreographed PDA, too. Planned affection if you will. My parents used to have "talks" about how they'd behave at nice dinners and events with influential people. Like, plan their level of affection. Dad liked when mom was an affection touchy feely wife in front of other people and would come up and hang on him, basically. I remember being like, 8, and going "wow that's weird...." lol.

    But Starbucks is another low, 50. Maybe coffee is an aphrodesiac for them

    Uh, yeah. At my friends wedding in August, she grabbed him at the end of the ceremony for the kiss and full on shoved her tongue down his throat for about five whole minutes -like, you could SEE their tongues. 

    I brought it up when I met with her for coffee last Sunday, sort of a, "hey, how about that kiss, haha?!" and she seemed really proud of herself.

    Hehehe, well my hubby and I aren't really touchy feeling people but... before our wedding, my hubby and I practiced our kiss. We had it down. We'd just go right into a very brief french kiss. We wanted a little more than a peck but something appropriate for our guests to watch. We both were set on our plan.

    But at the ceremony when he could now kiss his bride, he changed it up!! I went in with my mouth open a little but he was closed lipped so we had this brief awkward kiss... but then he went back a second time which threw me off and tried to do our rehearsed kiss... which lasted a little too long since we were trying to get it right and back on track... we were nervous!

    When we watched back our video it was just a little too awkward and a little too long. And well, awkwardly long kind of sums it up. Yikes! Embarassed

    Kind of funny now I guess!

    There's a fine line between "young and in-love newlyweds" and "too much." All the weddings I've been to have had that just right amount. I did get a little this is awkward! feeling about the FBIL take the garter off FSIL with his teeth... but, it was in good fun and not truly inappropriate. Probably weirdest to me and FI because it was his sister and she's like a sister to me already. 

    A lot of couples I've seen barely have time to lay on the PDA, they're so busy greeting everyone else.

    @ejs- Yeah, it was, well, bordering on graphic. I guess I'm weird, for the whirring of coffee beans and yappy complaining people don't get me all lathered up. I like to keep that stuff private.

     

    (Or maybe because I got woken up with morning lovin'. TMI, but Holllaaa! lol)
