What I find particularly funny, is that they aren't having a bouquet/garter toss.
Why?
EVERYONE ELSE IS MARRIED!
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm trying to picture the turbaned bridesmaids, but my brain is recoiling from the ridiculousness.
Let me get this straight. Bride is staging this elaborate and expensive production and she wants everyone in the production to not see each other backstage? Stilling pegging the crazyometer needle.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yeuuch, does this totally skeev anyone else? The whole thing, but this shit in particular.
The idea, no. Hubs' brother married a woman with a 12YO daughter from a previous marriage. Daughter joined them for part of the ceremony, and she also received a ring. I thought it was a nice gesture to show that the marriage was a family thing.
Dressing daughter up as, and calling her, a second bride would have been a bit much.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
The kids being part of the ceremony, I'm totally down with. But the dressing them up and mimicking bride and groom - sorry, no.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
My wedding dress cost $2000. My parents paid for it. I'm not going to apologize for that.
My parents also paid for the entire (female) wedding party to get our hair & makeup done (if they wanted to) the morning of the wedding. It was fun.
The wedding I'm (possibly) taking part in right now has made me vow to never to be a bridesmaid again, but I can't help but wonder if my sisters spent the weeks before my wedding talking like this behind my back. I really hope not. I think I was a good bride.

I'm so very glad I'm not even invited to this wedding.

I'm betting you were a good bride. The fact that you are concerned that you MIGHT have been crazy goes a long way toward proving you weren't. CraxyBrides don't think their behaviour is insane. Even when it's pointed out to them.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Actually, I don't even know what the average wedding dress costs, so I shouldn't snark about it. (Though $3,000 still sounds v. expensive to me. But I buy my jeans at Target, so my cost-o-meter is likely skewed.)
