No guns in the church.
Best Man does not get "first dibs."
Pay the preacher by envelope, loks better than counting out cash.
All tattoos should be covered during the service.
Remove your hats.
Cups & kegs are preferrable to bottles and cans. Less injuries.
No "Free Bird."
No rehearsal dinners at Hooters..
No tube tops.
Your coon dog should not be your best man.
Remove all toothpicks before taking pictures
Remember..livestock is a poor choice as a wedding gift
It is not OK for the groom to bring a date to the wedding
Though a tad uncomfortable..say YES to socks and shoes for this special occasion.
no sequined bridesmaide's dresses or tuxes
no posing for wedding pictures with a beer in your hand
Kissing the bride for more than 5 seconds..may get you SHOT.
No receptions at The Waffle House.
Table arrangements should be designed by someone other than your taxidermist.
Do not bring your coon huntin dog with you on the honeymoon.
No homemade tuxes.
Feed hats are not proper attire for a wedding.
Do not bring your dog..no matter how well behaved he is..
honeymoon plans should not include a hunting camp.
No NASCAR emblems.
A bridal veil made of window screen is not only cost effective, but a proven fly deterrent
no tube socks for the bridesmaids
honeymoon plans should not include hitchhiking

Hope this helps.

I always send a gift certificate ahead of the day because I never know what people will do with gifts these days. Show up at the wedding and go with the flow. Some are sticklers, others never went near an ettiquette book

Don't forget, the bride's and the groom's children should be present (unless they can't get out of jail in time.)

It's cut the cake, not cut the cheese.

I didn't understand 'No Free Bird'.

Here's a link that splains it. [As a courtesy to my cavemates. :) ]

Free Bird

Forgot to say--Great List. Thanx for posting and making me smile!

I would add don't allow your father to ride his Harley to the church and make sure he's not dressed like a mafioso.

And yes. I do have personal experience with this one. :-)

For 'Unconventional weddings':
1. Supress audible gagging noises when couples exchange nose rings.
2. Complement the 'bride' on the dress even if the plunging clevage and slit-up-the-thigh look does not match his body type.
3. While the happy couple get their wedding vows tatooed, it is best to hang back and allow the close family members get up close.
4. May churches do not allow to to through rice as birds eat it and expload. It is considered impolite to toss the exploaded bird from eariler wedding ceremonies too.

Best advice I ever heard was to have the wedding at a nudist camp-- save money on the bridesmaids outfits and you can easily spot the 'best man'.

Good tips.

Tell the DJ, there will be NO:

-I will be your hero, baby
-I will always love you (he leaves her at the end, HOW did this turn into a wedding song?)
-Chicken Dance (or dancing stuffed turkey playing the chicken dance --- imagine my embarrassment in Las Vegas, as my MOTHER starts this electronic chicken dance THING at the RIO buffet)
-Electric Slide, YMCA or Macarena.

The bride should also plan to breastfeed BEFORE the ceremony, NOT at the altar.

Remember..livestock is a poor choice as a wedding gift.

Unless they're a pair of Andalusians, complete with saddles! (from the funniest wedding story I've ever heard!)

LOL!

Wait a minute. My folks honeymooned at a backwoods cabin. One that is sometimes a hunting camp... No hunting went on (that I know of) so maybe that does not count.

[KneelBeforeZod]

I could handle skynard, as long as there was no "chicken dance" or " hokey pokey"
