The kids being part of the ceremony, I'm totally down with. But the dressing them up and mimicking bride and groom - sorry, no.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

[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.

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.

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.)

Always Anti-fascist!
I've never heard of the junior bride/groom practice. When my dad and stepmonster got married, I wore a blue dress because all the women standing up with stepmonster had blue dresses and I wanted to fit in(that was before the monster part) Mom and stepdad went out of town and saw a judge.

Not really. The current clusterfuck wedding situation I'm in has at its center a bride who is very worried about being high-maintenance, and asks about it all the time. (Of course, she's only asking because she wants to be reassured that she's a wonderful person, but still. Asking the question doesn't mean jack shit.)

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Bride is staging this elaborate and expensive production and she wants everyone in the production to not see each other backstage?
Yes, exactly. She wants noone to see anyone until they are stage ready. I'm surprised she's letting Joe and I sleep together the night before.
I was wrong, it's this dress.

Which is cute, and can be made by any talented seamstress for about $90 in materials, if that.
My *only* confusion about expensive wedding dresses is that most women are only going to wear them one time, and spending that much money on a single-use garment seems ... odd to me. On the other hand, I've seen some absolutely breathtaking dresses that look worth every penny.
