I just saw my kind of wedding. I mean the type of wedding I would have! the bride wore black. She didn't walk down the aisle, she was carried down in a coffin!Once at the alter , she rose from the coffin holding black roses! The clergy was in red! The ceremony was done at midnight! It was the best wedding I have seen since the Royal wedding! It was perfect. It was dark and romantic! Did you have a unconventional wedding. Or do you dream of one?

hehe i have not thought about something so extra ordinary like that... actually but i think if that wants to be done here, oh well the priest of the church won't allow. they would not even let the entourage dance and pose while they walk so i am sure they won't aloow that more. hehe

Well now thats creative. I never would of thought of it myself but it must have been so much more interesting and entertaining than the conventional and traditional type weddings. Mine wasn't anywhere near as amusing as the one you described. Mine was just laid back and fun. it wasn't formal at all.

Oh lord, no...not prying at all. My wedding just sounds dull in comparison to the one you describe here. We got married in his mom's yard which was just beautiful and my flowers were from her gardens. I wore a pink gown with spagetti straps that I made myself. There were just our immediate family there and we wrote our own vows. We rented a VFW pavillion for the reception and rather than wedding gifts, we asked everyone to make a dish or contribute in some way towards the party. Most brought food or a bottle. One lady made the cake, another friend had musical talent and got his band to play for a while, Yet another took a ton of pictures for us. Of course with my group of friends, there was a whole group of them that just added themselves to the party for entertainment purposes and rightly so. It was a fun time!

LOL well this is certainly different. The latest trends are away from the traditional to the unusual and I must say this is about as unusual as I have ever heard. It would certainly be an entertaining evening..I wonder what the guests wore...
I thought the couple and wedding party who came dancing down the aisle was funny but this beats them...
My feelings are it's a personal thing and whatever the couple decide it is their wedding and their memories...

Amazing wedding ceremony, I would love to have that kind of wedding but I know my dad would raised his eyebrows and told me NO, and my mom would check my forehead to know if i got fever...hehehe im just imagining my parent's reaction if I proposed them to held that kind of wedding ceremony. Im not married yet but my dream wedding is a small private wedding, I want to make it exclusive by invite several people only, I want to sew my own wedding dress, I want to make the souvenir for the guest by myself. But I guess it will not be happened, my dad would want to held a big wedding party (because he is a boss :-( I sometime hate my dad for showing off his position) and here a wedding could show your social status (which actually I dont like it).

amazing brilliant idea, it is a win win solution so both my parent and I get the wedding that we wanted, its mean I will have 3 wedding parties, my own wedding party, the wedding that my parent held and the wedding party that the in laws held, i will feel as the luckiest bride in the world. I love your suggestion but I will need to find the right man to get married, but really i will keep your idea in my mind for me to use later when i get married.

This kind of wedding must be so extraordinary. But it is not my type:) Although there is a saying that the marriage is the tomb to love. However, I still think that the lovers are happy to get married. So everything shall be happy and cheerful in this wedding day.
I love China

That's definitely an interesting one. I don't know that I'd go quite that route, but do dream of stuffing all of my bridesmaids into some fantastic corsetry, which they would normally never be willing to wear. But since it'll be my wedding, and I love corsets... ;) but I think I would probably opt for a wedding that's less than traditional. I've also contemplated getting married on Halloween, or in the winter when it's likely to snow. There's something about the idea of an outdoor wedding in the snow that really appeals to me. Of course, I've also considered looking onto the possibility of having Darth Vader officiate the ceremony.

Fantastic! Clergy as Dark Vader, Bridesmaids in a rich color like burgundy and you in a white that matches the snow. Hubby to be in black. And the ceremony is done under a canopy so if it does snow , no one gets wet! Beautiful.

hi sarahruthbeth 22 oh yes o urs was unconventional and almost costless as there was only the minister and his wife, the organist amd a deacon in the church.WE had no o ther guests at all. and know what we were married for 33 years so we had a good different happy
wedding.iA was 31 he was 37 and our parents refused to be there so we went ahead and married.They grew to like him and ours was a fun
and happy marriage. I have been widowed now many years but it was
a private little sedcding in a church.

I'm happy you two went and got married and that you had a happy marriage. I'm sorry you lost him. My mom and dad had a wedding similar to yours. My mom wore a light green suit. It was only mom , dad , his brother and his wife and the minister from what I was told.Their marriage lasted 35 years. my mom lost my dad too. She never remarried. I lost her in 2005 so I am not so sure of the guest list but I Do know she didn't have the huge wedding and she was happy about it. I will never marry but I do love other peoples weddings!

That is bizarre! I know it isn't for every woman but if it is your style,go for it! I know if I even had a wedding it would be pretty traditional wedding. I never thought of any kind of wedding! Just never did! I do know I would not want a wedding ,like one of my nephew's, that mentioned woman should be submissive to their husband! I also would not want a wedding in a court house!

Then never marry. The whole idea is for women to be submissive to husbands!At least that is my ides of marriage . That is why I will never marry.

I think that's a little too dark for my taste. But I like the thought of the bride in a little black dress though! It really says that there's a party afterwards.
The uncovential wedding that I saw that I like is the you-tube inspired 'The Office' wedding of Jim and Pam. I like the part of dancing down the aisle.
Although the wedding on the Niagara Falls, and being drenched is kinda cool too!

That certainly makes for all guests to attend and be dressed in the same theme too. I don't think I myself would include a coffin though, but being non-traditional sounds like fun. I definitely feel that if the couple enjoys non-traditional then they should go for it.
It is their day and why not celebrate it their way. After all like hangs with like so I am sure that all who attend will certainly enjoy it.
I am surrounded by theatrical actors so if one of them were to marry and be non-traditional, I am sure that all of us would have a blast enjoying it.

Well that certainly does sound interesting and very different. For me though it's a little creepy. I would be afraid that it would bring me bad luck. I guess it would be alright if it was a Halloween wedding though. I had a very traditional wedding, to me that is romantic.

I haven't really got any "dreams" for the perfect wedding. I am guessing just a couple of people to carry me kicking and screaming down the aisle..LOL...j/k...maybe not quite that dramatic. Sounds like an interesting wedding though. People are doing more and more the ritual that is right for them.

My boyfriend and I have had a few ideas, our #1 choice is being married in the mountains in Alabama.
Second choice would be the place where my mother and stepfather were married, in the Garden of the Gods in Shawnee National Forest in southern Illinois.
Perhaps in semi-formal attire, but no big production.
Just us, the clergy, and our witnesses.

Sounds like a gothic concept...I like it.
Honestly I am also thinking another style far from conventional.
I wish to wear a black wedding gown and everyone wears white...so I will stand among the crowd.
But no coffin ..hehehe.
Thanks for sharing this kind of wedding

Wooo.. This is one of a kind of a wedding! I have not heard of anyone having such a wedding ceremony. It has the feel of Lady Gaga's latest MTV. Creepy yet creative on the other hand. A definitely well remembered wedding ceremony of the century. Probably will appear in Guiness World Records for having the most outstanding wedding of all times :D Personally, weddings celebration are getting so common, lack of creativity and romance. We should go for something extraordinary, think out of the box, and create one wedding ceremony that everyone desires and cherish.
