WHY :(
I don`t know about everyone else! But a vast majority of questions getting answered on here are nothing but negative remarks. Im pretty sure the way people do things is different everywhere. Just because you may do something one way doesn`t mean someone else does it that way too. Things are changing in the world and change is good. Nobody says there is a set rule anyone has to follow when doing anything.
Plus a majority of things also goes by your families and traditions. EX. I asked for meal ideas, i am having an outside wedding. A picnic dinner would go suit my theme wonderfully. And someone making rude remarks because thats not was is suppose to be served at a wedding. What is served at a wedding is whatever the bride and groom want to serve and however they want their day to be. Our families don`t care for the formal sit down dinners. Another reason the picnic idea goes so well with our theme. So all in all it depends what part of the country/state you are from and how your families are. And my area a vast majority of weddings the guests pay for their alcohol and nobody thinks its rude. They have other options for drinks and if they don`t want it they can CHOOSE to buy something.
So what i am trying to say instead of these rude remarks, give helpful ideas and stop the negativety. We all come here to help one another not put each other down. Have a great day. :)

I think if more people put as much emphasis on the marriage part than the actual "wedding" part there would be alot less divorces in this world! ;)

You know what I realized - alot of people have all kinds of opinions & suggestions on what YOU should do for your wedding - if that`s the case, tell them if that`s what they want, then you can find out how much it will cost & they can pay the bill. That`s not the only thing I realized. Your wedding is about YOU and the person YOU want to spend the rest of your life with. Do what makes YOU happy. I didn`t read your original post, but if you want a picnic with burgers & hot dogs, by all means DO IT!! As long as you don`t put yourselves into incredible debt due to your wedding day - do what you want! As I said, I didn`t read your original post, but I assume it`s outside - just remember, weather and bugs are a BIG factor when you`re outside - look around for good bug repellants (whatever works!) Remember - as my motto goes - IT`S ALL ABOUT YOU!!! ;.) Good luck & have fun!

My wedding will be different also. I think people get BORED at the same old church style wedding & reception. These type weddings lack character, in my opinion. If your wedding is unique and different, with a personal touch - then it has character. I want my guests to have a good time. Not be bored.
