I see this topic come up now and again in a variety of threads, usually someone will post a youtube of someone's starwars, zelda, lotr, etc, theme wedding, and pretty much everyone will make fun of the wedding for how nerdy and uncouth it is. While I largely agree that it's a bit juvenile to have an 8 bit themed wedding or w/e, ultimately isn't it about what the people getting married want? Like if they get along fine at their jobs and want to goomba stomp their cake to pictures rather than smear it on each other's faces as the photo opp, shouldn't we just be happy that they're doing them? On the other hand i was thinking about what I might want my future wedding to be like, and ultimately the answer is i really don't care and think I'd mostly be throwing the event so my parents and grandparents can see their bloodline chug on. Despite my mom having two sisters and my dad having two brothers, my brother and I are the only kids of this generation on our side of the family tree. I feel like when my ceremony rolls around, I mostly want to set things up for the family and it'd be kinda selfish to make it all about me/the spouse. Is that the chief complaint with these theme weddings, that the people getting married aren't being mature enough to acknowledge that the ceremony isn't just for them, or should the friends and family be the ones accepting that it's supposed to be the special moment for them and just deal the their warcrafts. I can honestly see both sides to the argument I'm just kinda curious what other people think.

They are a bribe to god, so he hopefully wont gently caress up ur marriage. He does so most of the time anyway though.

Marriage is a big money making scam that usually ends up with a guy paying $800+ a month for the privilege of having been married.

Dude, unless you are getting gay married it is for the bride. Yes, thanks to the continuing legacy of sexism etc etc. but there it is.

No the OP is right, weddings are only for family members who want them to happen otherwise we could be playing video games I don't get it exception: pikachu themed weddings, those make sense

It's a giant party for the couple getting married. One which, the cash value, could be better spent elsewhere. Instead, 50% of the time, it's a pre-divorce party.

I looked at it as hosting a big dinner party for family and friends and tried to organise it in such a way that they would have a good time. Having my hobbies or interests inform the proceedings seemed like an embarrassingly self centered thing to do.

Having my hobbies or interests inform the proceedings seemed like an embarrassingly self centered thing to do. same (planning one right now) I don't want two entire families to watch my fiancee walk down the aisle to the battle theme from Pokemon Red/Blue as I pull the rings out of a novelty Poke Ball jewelry case and say "I choose you" Idea, though: most of it is being paid for by my fiancee's dad who is an avid Dolphins fan; I've managed to convert my fiancee herself into a Pats fan (with a little help from Julian Edelman being very handsome). I could make the wedding be Patriots-themed. I'm sure her dad would see the humor in that.

Look, I don't care if you have a loving goomba wedding or ponies or whatever. There's two fundamental pieces of advice I have gleaned from years of watching all of my friends get married and getting married myself. 1) loving LEAVE. Don't be one of those goddamn couples who parties until 4am and then passes out on the couch of friend's at the after-after party. It's just kind of sad. You two are starting a new life together. Get the gently caress out of dodge with your bride (or groom) and leave all the friends family members to drink up the booze and clean up the mess. Everyone I know who has pulled this little stunt has gotten divorced. Just sayin. 2) RING THEM BELLS. Seriously. Bells are cool as hell. Find a chapel with one in the belfrey and have some robed clergy haul on that thing. In some of the more heated moments of my relationship the memory of the bells clanging has cooled my head, halted my tongue, and possibly saved my marriage.

i know someone who took all the money they would have spent on a wedding and donated it to charity before doing the basic courthouse thing. on one hand that is kind of neat, but on the othe rit is incredibly insufferable.

Just have an open bar. Literally nothing else matters. Nothing. Else. Matters. Get a weed bar too if you're in one of those states. Falun Bong Refugee fucked around with this message at 04:41 on Jan 6, 2016 |

Lol I just read the OP, there's no justification for themed weddings, at least for people who can identify as an adult. Dress like a human for a day, lose weight dress good, real good, look good in front of a bunch of ppl jfc you'll be better for it.
