NO, it is NOT just a GUY thing. I feel the same way. I would like to be married again (if the fairy tale wedding comes along with it great, if not no biggy) but the ceremony means little to me as well.

My dream wedding is a wedding that I am at and I am not best man, grooms men, brides maid, maid of honor, or a stand in dad. Done it all, and I want my own fricking wedding.


Yes I have been a maid of honor, it was actually my best wedding related experience so far... despite the fact that some small town in the midwest is now quite certain that I harbor feelings for my fellow man...


But seriously, I do look forward to the wedding, and I do dream about it, but in the end, I don't imagine the details because I would rather work them out with my fiance. (Have already chosen my best man though...)

Don't worry....you'll have your wedding one day....but just remember there are only a few states you can currently have it in. LOL

sadden to hear that a wedding means nothing to you. i bet when you meet that right lady, it will mean everything to you.


Hey kid....it's the ceremony/party that means little to me. I very much look forward to actually being married. Just not to the ceremony. Same way I look forward to completing my degree....but going through the commencement ceremony means little to me (and I will actually miss this as I have to move prior to the ceremony).


Also, listening to women longingly recount their past 'dream' weddings makes me think of the possibility of my marrying a woman who's previously had such a great ceremony. This gives me a feeling of my marriage to such a woman being somehow less special to herthan what she previously had.
(In a June Cleaver type voice for absolutely no reason...)


Now jayjay dear... just because a woman is going to recall with fondness her past dream wedding ceremony, does not mean for ONE second that her marriage to you will be ANY less special to her or not have as much, if not MORE significance in her life. It's not about the wedding ceremony, it's about the marriage.


(In my own voice)


Now stop pouting... wanna get married, I'll prove it??

I don't recall ever dreaming of a wedding -- certainly not of a big "fairy tale" one (which would terrify me...lol). I've never purchased a Brides magazine (I'm not sure I've even ever thumbed through one...). Now, I did buy a very lovely wedding dress for $5 at a church rummage sale many years ago that I thought I might someday wear as a Halloween costume, but I eventually gave it to a friend who wanted to wear it in her real wedding. The idea of a ceremony where I would wear a traditional wedding gown has never appealed to me for some reason; I've just never been able to imagine myself in one...(I did sew a nice one for one of my trolls when I was a kid, though, so I don't reject them completely...lol).

True story: When I dreamed of a wedding as a little girl, there were always Christmas decorations in the church. But I grew up and found it convenient, the first time around, to get married in May, so no Christmas wedding. Planning for the second time around, my only concern was to pick a date that I knew my daughter would be home from college, so we chose Nov.28; the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It's at the church my fiance attends, as the church I pastor is a little bit too small for our guest list. And so I didn't even know this, but the pastor there emailed me to tell me that they will be decorating the sanctuary for Advent and Christmas that morning. I'll get my "Christmas wedding" that afternoon after all, and I didn't even plan it that way!

I am just curious as who still dream of that childish, fairytale wedding? Do you? Do you? What is your dream wedding?

Never had an idea of a fairytale wedding. And I think any wedding you want that will make you happy isn't childish - it's your wedding, do your thing. For me, I think about the "I Do" part. That's pretty much it. Then I think about all the raucous, crazy fun the families will have at the reception (I want my wedding ceremony to be short and unencumbered, the reception is where the PARTAY is), and I think about the honeymoon. But I'm not talking about that...
