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.


OK...that's GOOD to KNOW. THANK you. (just joking with the caps, lol)

No.. not really...but right now I could very easily pick a flower and a color.. and you can all probably guess what they'll be.. .. then again not that anybody would ever remember those details other than me and hopefully by beau.

Bingo!!! And if I ever want to become a bridezilla, I can always have the guys wear lavender ties or shirts, have a lanvender marzipan cake, I can get a lavender dress, give out lavender saches, food will be all around culinary lavender, the bathroom can have lavender soap and the centerpieces and decorations will also be in lavender. Hahahaha.. then again who's dreaming of that?? I just want somebody to love and love me back... and one day to say, 'hey you want to stick for me forever?'

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??


Big talk! And besides....I'm not done pouting yet.

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...
i think, dream, about the honeymoon, too.

I think I've outgrown the fairy tale wedding dream. Currently, my thinking is that if and when I do get married, I want a small ceremony that is meaningful to me and my new spouse as a couple, and to those close to us who would be invited. I do want to get married in a church though, and I do want some elements of a traditional wedding. I guess I'll have a clearer idea of what I want when and if the time comes.

I'd rather spend the money on the honeymoon than the wedding. My problem would be how to have the minimum 6 month engagement I know is smart and get married soon enough after I say yes that I don't have time to freak out about the monumentous change ahead of me and run screaming the opposite direction. My idea would be to call/e-mail my parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, and possibly uncles and aunts and say, "We're having a BBQ Saturday, can ya'll come? BTW, getting married after lunch." Then I want a month long honeymoon in Australia!!

To answer the orginal post:


no...just would like to find "her" and have a simple wedding. I'm too old/cynical for the "big" wedding thing. Just want her.
