I included a statement in my will that basically said "It's fine with me if you don't have a funeral for me or whatever because I'll be dead, so do whatever." Hope this helps.

One of my brother's douchey high school friends found a fat, desperate, rich woman to marry. Problem was this girl's mom hated his guts like most any other person in their right mind would. His solution was just to have the wedding on the complete opposite side of the country from where any of his wife's family lived so none of them would show up to object to it. His wife was kinda mad but she was desperate enough to go along with it.

ArbitraryC posted:I've been to a couple yeah, but the whole point of this thread was when brides and grooms make the wedding about them rather than just doing the stock grownup thing people generally seem to look down on that. Obligatory Onion link: Horrible Couple Really Wants Wedding To Reflect Their Personalities quote:The couple told reporters the insufferably precious ceremony will include readings from Walt Whitman’s Leaves Of Grass, a 10-minute silent meditation on each wedding guest’s own conception of love, and a forcibly lighthearted accordion wedding march expected to last for nearly 20 minutes.

loquacius posted:Obligatory Onion link: Horrible Couple Really Wants Wedding To Reflect Their Personalities Yeah I totally understand that, the intent of the thread was more to discuss whether as friends you should put up with that kind of malarkey because it's their special day and you're there for them, or as the bride/groom you really should focus more on making it a fun event for the guests and save your personal effects for the honeymoon or w/e. I feel like personally if i were getting married I would try the latter but if I were say the best man at the wedding I'd probably encourage the former so it's hard for me to see which is "right".

I don't care about being a spouse or the institution of marriage, but I do want all those presents and all that attention. So I guess I think that weddings are about free money, and Kuerigs and Crock-Pots, for me!!!!

traditional weddings are for the bride's family and guests. in a traditional wedding the bride and groom do not attend the reception. they leave after they are married so they can gently caress ASAP (which they have not yet done). the bride's family then throws a party to celebrate having successfully unburdened themselves.

I think the families that really try to have weddings that are fun for everybody tend to get a lot of support. I mean I'm sure there are Bridezillas that force everybody to go along with their dumb demands but there are also awesome couples out there who are very generous and considerate to everyone. We helped out some family members who ended up having amazing fun weddings(parties) and to show their appreciation they offered us a ton of support in planning our own wedding. I think if you really strive to make your guests happy and comfortable you get a lot more support in the long run. Of course either extreme of picky demanding people gets old too.

My wife and I were married in Jamaica, partied for 2 weeks, then went home and threw a reception(open bar of course). My family was mortified but since I paid for everything I didn't care.

loinburger posted:I included a statement in my will that basically said "It's fine with me if you don't have a funeral for me or whatever because I'll be dead, so do whatever." Hope this helps. This is a dick move because it forces family members to make hard decisions at an emotionally stressful time. It also means people will invest their egos in trying to do "what's best" when they might all disagree on exact what that means, all while a funeral director tries to upsell them on a beautifully respectful memorial. Do your family a favour and explicitly outline what either you want to happen, or what you think those closest to you will want to happen, even if it's just "cremate me in a plain pine box and scatter the ashes at Taco Bell." My grandma died last month and it would have saved the family unnecessary stress if this poo poo was locked down in advance.

regarding expensive weddings, why don't people just write cheques for each other? that's what we do, so that if the couple doesn't go overboard the wedding pays for itself. sometimes there are not enough guests to pull off such a thing, so the parents' coworkers and other people who've never met the couple get invited.

Weddings are for both you and your family in the south. That's to say, it's only for the people being married.
