I pulled my hair back with a clip from ... Penney’s or somewhere, $10 max, and my friend pinned the flowers in. My mother made me put lipstick on at the last minute.
No cake-smashing ... why would you do that to someone you like? Besides, I got the cake from a bakery that guaranteed it would taste good - and it did!
And I bet you looked beautiful and you had a wonderful wedding.
There are so many things wrong today. The cake thing alone is so disrespectful. What groom would want to do that to his bride and...her to him? It’s a lack of respect. Oh they can joke about it and pretend but... to actually do it is total disrespect.
We had a five tier cake but it wasn’t outrageously over the top with bridges and fountains etc...each layer was thick and sat on top of each other as it made its way to the cake topper... it was beautiful and delicious. Made by our small town bakery. And..it ws traditional pound cake. Wasn’t filled with a lot of goo etc...
Brides should look pretty and sweet... today there is not even respect for the preacher, pastor, priest or whomever marries a couple. Dresses are way too revealing and they joke too much. I was married in a church I grew up in, made all my sacraments in and later buried both my parents from. When we walked down the aisle and stood before the Monsignor...the music stopped and he quietly said to me: “you look very pretty,” I thanked him. Our wedding was sincere, serious and there was no way we would have acted silly during that service.
After? We all let loose, danced, visited with our guests, had a great time and stayed 5 hours and we had a great time. We had a buffet, decorated hall, all family and friends and school friends were there...we did all the traditional things one does at receptions and it was and is a day I will never forget all these 53 years later.
I don’t know why EXTREME is so important.... sounds like something is lacking. I don’t know... different world.
