my MIL insisted that it was tradition for the mother and father of the groom to travel to the church in the brides wedding car, which then goes on to pick up the bride - tradition where?? Her head??

We didn't have any of that crappy faff at our wedding. As far as I was concerned we fed everyone, had a party and a few drinks. They gave us presents!! End of!!

I don't disagree - i went to town at my wedding and we had agreat time - but I must confess my priorities were on eating, drinking and enjoying - hence alcoholic favours

As if you haven't got enough to do, without remembering who each gift was from. My dm even went out and bought new bed linen just for the occasion, as everything was spread out in their room. Bah!

we did have a receiving line PMSL at Auntie Inez saying 'i'm your auntie Inez' to me - i know love, it might have been 1982 when I last saw you, but you looked 80 then too!

traditrional toasts to te bridesmaids saying 'how fabulous they look.
Not at BIL 's wedding they didn't - NEVER seen such a dodgy looking set in all my life!

Helium balloons with little teddies tied on the bottom - in matching colours of course.

Classy eh?????

Receiving line PMSL - being kissed by all in sundry.

amate of mine got some of that confetti stuff you put inside cards etc - horseshoe shaped microscopic annoying bits etc - she is so anal she COUNTED OUT the bits to sprinkle on the tables - she said each table had 212 pieces of confetti on it

Agree on balloons - they're for kids parties, always look S*e at weddings - really cheap

Astrophe · 20/04/2007 14:15

Been to two wedding where the bride and groom symbolicly (of what I don't know) released some butterflies into the air. Although both times the butterflies wanted to say in the box and had to be shaken out onto the ground! PMSL!
