What’s a bride to wear if you like playing with gender expectations?
My fiance loves to wear a bow tie and suit jacket, and equally loves to wear little dresses — and she’s at an absolute loss as to what to wear for our July 2014 wedding! She’s got a faux-hawk with the sides of her head shaved, and loves playing with gender expectations. Sometimes she’s soft-butch, sometimes she’s femme.
OPEN THREAD: Would you have a weekday wedding?
My love has his mind set on getting married on a weekday – that is, on the day of our 5 year anniversary, the 1st of April, 2014. A FREAKING TUESDAY! Would you have your wedding on a weekday? Would you, as a guest, attend a wedding on a weekday?
Should we still have a wedding shower if we’re an eloping military couple?
Since my fiance is in the Army, we are not able to include friends and family on our wedding day. Should we be able to have a bridal shower and bachelorette party as planned? Are we cheating our friends out of what’s due to them since they are giving us gifts? Is it unfair to invite people to a shower, and then not invite them to a wedding?
Open thread: What to do with my dress after the wedding?
I’m making my own wedding dress… and I just don’t know what I’m going to do with it afterwards. If it was going to be a shop bought dress, I wouldn’t have an issue selling it, but because of the amount of work that I’d be putting into it, I think it’d feel a bit odd to sell it… but on the other hand I think it’d feel odd to just keep it boxed up somewhere.
I’m basically wondering what you will be doing with your dress after your weddings are over and done with.
