k so here’s the thing im getting married on april 19th… which is a sunday… so here’s the story behind my question. my original day was sat. june 20 but the place i fell in love with was to expensive so me and my fiance decided on april 19 bc its the day we first said i love you. now i origainally wanted to do it this day for that reason but was nerves bc it was a sunday. but now we found out that we would be saving 3-5000 dollars. so i booked everything now his family is being really stupid saying that his sister has a dinner she was going to go to that day and we never asked them what day was good for them and said who even gets married on a sunday? what kinda of reception will that be? another reason for the sunday is bc i dont want a bunch of drunks and we want to leave for our honeymoon that day. so the reception would be from 3-8 even if it was on a saturday it would end that early. my fiance says that i shouldnt care what they think bc we think its a perfect day for us and i just need to not care and make Me happy. so i just want honest opinions on what you think of weddings being held on Sunday.
also they have none for at least 2-3 months that that was the day we chose
and are just now saying something

I read on here as it applied to I think wedding receptions and wedding rehearsals:

It is a place where people get loaded and say and do really stupid things in public.

It’s not nearly as bad as wedding rehearsal dinners. That’s where if you are going to have a fight between “family” members and future family members it take place there. The tension has risen to such a high level by that point that it’s going to come out somewhere.

I had a pastor tell me one time he charged $100 for doing the wedding and $500 for doing a rehearsal. He’d never had a rehearsal and hence, he’d never had to attend a rehearsal dinner. I’ve always remembered what he said.

This is funny to me because I thought I was the only one that felt this way about weddings. I stopped going about 20 years ago and have never been sorry. I’m more than interested in how some of you feel about what was said.

I cannot stand weddings!

I really cannot stand them, because society makes you think you have to be married to be happy, or your “friends” look down on you as the spinster/old maid aunt LOOK.

Here’s what I do. I decline each and every one of them.
But as I get older I cannot stand them. THe couples are nice, don’t get me wrong but I just cannot stand it as I’m not married.

I knew since 12, that I would not get married and have been single since. Why can’t stupid people who are married get this through their brains?
ralph: if i liked hitting on women, i would go to weddings, you are pathetic, fag.
Daboys, another one, and then you hear the stories of divorce cause no one wants to HOLD the marriage. Better to be single than married and then broke.

My older sister is getting married this August! I’m so happy for her, but this is her second wedding. I think my mom was hoping she’d have something classy this time as her last wedding was a Lord of the Rings themed wedding. I found it very beautiful! Her ex-husband was dressed as Legolas (and pulled off the part well!) and she wore Galadriel’s dress. It was absolutely beautiful! Now that she is getting remarried, she is having a cat themed wedding. Okay, it’s not my thing, but if it’s what she wants I’m game. But my mom gets so upset over it! I still live at home (I’m 23 and in college) and all I hear day-in and day-out is “Why can’t she just grow up?” and things of that nature! It gets so frustrating! And then she turns on me and starts saying things like “I’ll never let you plan your own wedding or we’ll get something stupid from you too!” (Which she is trying to convince my boyfriend and I to go ahead and get married… so far not working, we want to finish school!) Why can’t she just be happy for my sister? Is it really that big of a deal?

Why do weddings bring out the worst in some people?
I appreciate you guys trying to make my mom seem like a nice person, but I think she’s a control freak. My mom had the wedding of her dreams and yet she wants to complain about my sisters! I don’t even know what to say to her about it!

i don’t and it’s because i don’t believe love can be defined..there are so many meanings. be it commitment, a game, a deep friendship..passion.. i believe in the unconditional..the way i love my sister. first of all, i think it’s just wrong to put love in between papers..saying “ok this is your mate for life”..it’s a freaken CONTRACT!! i just don’t believe you can put love in the papers..+second, what if that love between you fades away? you’ll have to go through nasty divorce?? and the financer will have to pay to the other partner for the rest of his life untill they get married again..that’s what my uncle has to do right now..he gave the car to my x aunt, and he’s paying her now because she’s not married.

and when it comes to weddings, it just makes me really upset to know, many more people..mostly girls (don’t mean to stareotype) et excited, not by the idea of a contract together (marriage) but by the stupid 2 hr cerimony..for pete’s sake! why waste so much $$ on that?

It seems like a lot of people always assume alcohol at a wedding will promote drunken nonsense and inappropriate behavior. I see this attitude common when the topic of open bar vs. cash bar is up for debate. I find so many people dislike open bar, because they believe it is an open invitation for people abuse the situation because it’s free. In addition, many people believe open bar will mean that people will get down right rude, inappropriate and nasty. Now, I’m sure it HAS happened. Don’t get me wrong.

However, why do so many people HATE the idea of people drinking at a wedding, especially for open bar. I come from the Northeast, it’s common in my area to host an open bar. Anything less will be deemed rude and impolite. I’ve been to 6 weddings in the last few years. I’ve never seen anyone get fall down, stupid drunk. I’ve never seen someone offended the bride or groom by doing something wrong. I’ve never seen someone puke on the dance floor. I’ve never seen frat party behavior.

I have seen people get tipsy. But, it’s all in good fun. They get a little tipsy and they spend the whole night on the dance floor. No real harm. Maybe they’re just a little sore the next day, from all the dancing. But, they still remained appropriate, they didn’t drive home drunk or do anything stupid.

So, why do people hate open bar so much. I find it hard to believe that grown adults can’t hold an appropriate amount of alcohol and still act maturely. Are there that many people that just don’t know how to behave OR are a few bad apples/stories spoiling the whole concept of an open bar or alcohol at a wedding.

I understand if you have relgious reasons.

Thoughts?
