WINNIE THE POOH WEDDING !!!!

As rude as you seem to be, I gotta admit you`ve got a point on this one. I totally agree. These childrens storybook themes for two adults getting married is just a little kooky. Besides, I don`t think a theme should ever be about some fictional fantasy character. The theme of the wedding should be you and your fiance. I don`t understand why an adult would want to pretend to be Cinderella or Snow White at her own wedding. And I definitely don`t understand why any grown man would go for this idea at his own wedding. I was especially shocked at one of the posts that said the groom was going to try a glass slipper on all the bridesmaids as they walked down the aisle during the ceremony. Oh my gosh!! The only thing I can think of in response to these themes is that old 80`s saying "gag me with a spoon"! Oh no, now I`m going to be lumped in with Layla as being rude too. I swear I`m not normally rude. I think I just have storybook overload after reading this site. It`s kind of getting to me because I`m searching for elegant, ADULT decor and ideas for my wedding and I have to weed through children`s disney tales.

I agree with Winnie being pretty silly, but what about bugs bunny? My fiance and I are planning to wear the traditional dress and tux, but are adding long pink (for me) and grey (for him) ears. Each of the attendants will also be in traditional garb, with looney toons accessories - liike one of the guys will be wearing an elmer fudd-style hat and have a shotgun (not loaded of course!) and one of those cute elastic pig noses. When we are done with the ceremony, we plan to walk down the aisle to the old looney tunes tune, ending with "Th-th-that`s all folks!" What do you think?

You know, who cares what the theme of a wedding is going to be? If a bride wants to walk down the isle in a clown suit, that is her right. If she wants the wedding party to be dressed like the seven dwarfs, does that make her wedding any less important than anyone elses?
The wedding is a reflection of the couple and if they both agree on the theme let them have what they want. There are people in the world who associate their family and friends with cartoon characters. Maybe they collect them, maybe they have just always liked them. I personally would rather attend a wedding with a theme to it than one with the same old boring flowers, candles, violins playing etc. Themes, whether it be Disney characters or not, show that the couple have put a lot of thought into their wedding and want it to have their personalities.
Friends tell me that the wedding I`m planning has "me" written all over it. I`m not planning a cartoon themed wedding because that`s just not me but if it was, you can bet I`d have Tweety, Sylvester, Pepe all over the place.
To the brides who wish to have the wedding of their dreams , go for it! And may you live Happily Ever After!

I know. You`re right, Sissy. The happy couple can have whatever kind of wedding ceremony they choose. I just find it hard to comprehend why a bride and a groom would want their family and friends to focus on children`s cartoon characters at their wedding rather than focusing on the true point of the wedding. I find it silly and distracting. Sometimes it even seems like brides and grooms are putting on a show rather than having a marriage ceremony. To me it`s kind of sad when the true meaning of the days gets lost behind the likes of Cinderella and Mickey Mouse. To each his own though.

Okay, I never thought I`d agree with Layla, but she`s right! As a psychologist I can`t help but notice that there is a serious gap between these brides and reality. Two things are very apparent: either they have a lot of maturing to do, or they are in denial of the real world and cannot appreciate it for what it is without turning it into some type of fiction. What will become of their marriage when real life problems occur? will they call their fairy god mother? sorry ladies...it`s not that easy.

Are you kidding me? Do you really think you`ll look back at your wedding pictures 10, 20, 30, years from now and be happy with Winnie the Pooh, Bugs Bunny etc.?

While the day is meant to be a personal expression of who you each are, it is also meant to be taken seriously to show the love and commitment you have for each other.

Your poor mom may be tearing up at the ceremony but it probably won`t be for the reasons you think it is!

I got married 2 years ago and had many personal touches and am known for my sense of humor and cynical nature. I had a blast at my wedding and didn`t feel the need to look or act ridiculous to do that.

Layla you should stick to your orig theme, remember PIMP and Ho wedding, you could wear your uniform from work, but get the stains out first and no ultraviolet lights heheheh.....
