The Incredible Shrinking Bride

how shallow, please be happy on your wedding day, plan simple & make sure that all your guest are having GREAT TIME, because you have your whole life to be together. People will talk, no matter if you spend $50 000 or &5 000, that's some people's nature. Enhance your beauty with some nice make up, pick up your dress in the shop that has your taste, your size, not the highest priced junk. if you are happy that you are getting married to the right person, than, what counts it's what's in your heart , not what's in your wallets or on credit cards. Be debt free, be honest, form a life partnership & you will shine more then all the botax, fake boobs & $1000000 wedding-- that no one will really remember but you two. I did it 40 years ago, never resented, I still always look nice & cheerful for my husband as he does for me. That's what counts in Utah & every othe State of the USA

well i got married 2 years ago and it was simple but sweet , did everything myself but thats because we couldnt afford it ,but if we renew our vows and we can afford to spend comfortably then i will get a hair and makeup artist get my nails done with fancy designs and order a really beautiful wedding cake etc.... why not you only live once your not hurting anyone ,i get to get pampered , its not like we do this everyday ,i dont see anything wrong with it as long as your not borrowing money , taking out a loan or taking the money away from something more important! enjoy it while it lasts ! no stress !

ALL THAT WORK & MONEY, JUST BE YOURSELF,AFTER ALL THE MAN FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS WOMAN NOT THE MAGAZINE FAKE. SOME MAKE UP FOR ANHANCEMENT, SURE, PRETTY DRESS, YES, BUT MOST OF ALL PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THE MARRIAGE, YOUR FUTURE , CLEAN UP THE ATTICK IN YOUR PRIVATE LIFE, NO BILLS, NO BAGAGE,. MOST OF ALL TRUE LOVE,HONESTY & PARTNERSHIP, THAT GOES A LONG WAY.MY IS 35 YEARS

I'm on my 3rd marriage, my husband and I got married with a couple of friends and family, and now are in the process of planning our formal wedding. I have never had that formal celebration before. It was always in Las Vegas, not that there isn't anything wrong with Vegas, but I was 5 months pregnant both of my previous weddings. My husband's and my plans are to have a humorous celebration of marriage, because humor is so important, and we will say our vows in front of our friends and family with a great deal of love and fun. That's what a wedding should be about. We don't have much money, but we do ok.

I got married in 2004, spending less than $2,000 and had a guest list of almost 200 people. We pulled it off with a lot of creativity and help from friends. A friend of mine took the pictures, another decorated with flowers, dozens of people made food... and I (the bride) was in the kitchen for hours the day before helping prepare food. A friend made the cake... our attendants chose thier own dresses within the color scheme. It worked, and it was lovely. I didn't worry about things being perfect... A wedding is just a day. A marriage is supposed to be everlasting.

take this world from me ,i dont need it anymore

i think that if ur a bride and u want 2 look perfect on ur wedding day u sudden think about who ur husband feel in love with, and not who u think he is in love with physically. Love is more than what 2 people think of each other physically, but what u think of each other mentially and spiritually.

One final comment, then I'll be quiet. A lot of people lose sight of one very important fact. A wedding is only for a couple of hours, a MARRIAGE is supposed to last forever!

The pressures that brides put on themselves today is just ridiculous! I got married 2 1/2 years ago, proudly wearing a size 16 dress that I got for under $300. My best friend did my flowers and cake as well as being my maid of honor. My husband bought a new suit and tie for the wedding. A friend of his did a couple CD's of music for our reception. We had the reception in the parish hall at church and the ladies of the church supplied the finger food. We managed to have a beautiful, meaningful wedding for under $1000, I didn't have to be a Bridezilla to look like a princess, my husband was the most handsome man I have ever seen, and there was so much love that all the other frou frou stuff wasn't necessary. So it is possible to have a beautiful wedding without breaking your budget or your health. After all, all that really matters is the guy standing next to you and if he's not happy with you just as you are, you need to find another guy! BTW, we are even happier and more in love than we were on our wedding day.

The pressures that brides put on themselves

The women have gone sick and crazy along with a huge majority of the society! They think their worth is how they look (outside) and not what they are (inside). Pity they ended up f**ked n d**mped for being f**king dumb! Imagine what a newly wed couple can do with an extra $30,000! A wedding is just for the two and some close ones and not a circus which is what it is these days.

shelbar is right because if you look online or on tv apperance is everything. I think women should spend less time worrying about what they look like and on more important things,

Laugh Laugh Laugh..... Hillarious how people (women who think they NEED---and the men who pay for all this unnecessary bullpucky) The perfect wedding is not in the dress or the teeth or the hair or the tuxes or the flowers. The perfect wedding is in the LOVE. The whole reason (or is supposed to be the reason) why you would be getting married in the first place. Before my wedding my husband got a brand new credit card and gave it to me and said use this for the wedding. (very cool I might add) I could have gotten lots and lots of pretty things plus we have 5 kids that all needed to be dressed for the wedding too. Instead of doing what a majority of women would do, I went instead to the local second hand store and bought a very very pretty wedding dress for next to nothing I also bought my husband's tux jacket and my oldest son's tux jacket. For my little girls I found three matching dresses at Wal-mart I also ordered the cake there and that is also where we bought the rings. WHY??? Because the wedding is NOT the most important thing in a marriage. My husband wanted to buy me a bigger prettier wedding ring here a little while back. I said no, the ring he bought me is the ring I'll wear for the rest of my life because it doesn't matter where it comes from or how much it cost it's the ring my husband gave me. People are sick to spend the amount of money on weddings from what I've heard and seen. Spend less money and time on the wedding and more time on the marriage, spend that extra money something that really matters.

This is the problem with marriages today everyone's so worried about showing off and impressing people when most people don't even have the money for these wedding. I think more people should start worrying about not starting their marriages off in debt and making their marriage last longer than a year.
