Everything For The Bride

im getting married in a few weeks and its a garden wedding ceremony, and ive started to think how will the groom not see me just get out of the car and start lining up to get ready to walk down the aisle.. in a church the groom is inside and does’nt know whats going on outside when the girls arrive, and then the bride makes a nice entrance and thats the 1st look he has of her(which is what its meant to be like).. does anyone have any ideas to make this easier and keep a little mystery for the bride’s entrance?

i’m looking for a song that i can walk down the aisle to. i don’t want the same old wedding song i want something sweet and slow and pretty something that will really make an impression!!!!
i’ve been looking at slow country songs and some other types of music thats slow and meaningful but nothing really seems to work it’s all to fast

It started out in Walmart but not the Walmart we usually go to, it had a completely different layout and everything. I found a white dress laying in the middle of the aisle and it kind of looked like a wedding dress so i tried it on and I realized that it has a lot of black and red towards the top. Then i put on a flower thing around my neck. Then I showed my mom but she didnt really care so we went home without the .00 dress. So then when we got home apparently there was a wedding but it wasn’t mine, it was another girls wedding (i dont know who she is) but she was upset and getting cold feet. She was also wearing the dress I saw at the store but before it turned red/black. I gave her a tiny stack of about 8 half-pieces of paper and I told her to write down why it was all worth it. And then I walked in the other room and I finally found out I am a server, and then my mom was telling me that I needed to do something to make her happy. Everyone was focusing on her happiness at that point. I don’t know why my mom was giving me orders but then I realized since I am a server I was hired for the wedding. So I came back with some tape and scissors and I grabbed a stack of napkins and I started making a huge paper rose. I had envisioned it in my mind, beautiful, but I never really got to actually make it. Then the table dissapears and then her entire family is in the room, including my mom, and my sister. (My mom and my sister IN REAL LIFE have gotten closer in the last year because she just had a kid and my mom helps her out, and my mom thinks that my sister likes her but my sister is just glad to have moved out and have her space because my mom is a control freak, but my sister is nice to her. When I was little they used to get into physical fights because my sister was out doing drugs and having sex etc and they couldn’t stand each other.) So then everybody was dressed up, including me, I think I felt like a guy, or maybe I was, I was in a guy servers uniform but it made me comfortable. And we we’re all sitting down. The bride was crying. And then my mom starts going on a rant about everything about the family she didn’t like or hated, etc etc (I don’t really remember) but then everybody starts yelling at her and nobody really likes her at this point, and I don’t know, there was just a lot of yelling and then my sister (who was sitting next to my mom on the couch) she pushes my mom off the couch and then she smiles about it. My mom is then on the floor and she is angry and quiet. I then gave my sister an approving smile without trying to make everybody else mad. I remember I tried speaking up about something but then everybody yelled at me for it so I kept quiet the entire time. Family Drama.. but then I look to my left, and sitting with me on the couch is my Mom. But then I look on the floor and there is another mom. It didn’t bother me at first because I was oblivious to it, but then I did a triple-take and I’m like "Why are there two of my moms?" and then everybody got quiet. And my stepdad was like "I will tell her." and then everybody starts yelling at him to keep it a secret and then he starts yelling a riddle in a tiny book. And then I somehow finished the riddle and I realized that I had two moms that looked the same but had different names. Then I realized the one that I know in real life, the one that is grouchy and works all the time, and controls everything I do so I don’t get hurt, that was the "mom" nobody liked in the dream. But the mom sitting next to me was the mom I knew when I was a kid, the one I got a long with. She was nice and calm and always smiling, and we got a long and I could tell her everything and I know when I’m talking to her she is actually paying attention instead of staring at my face for pimples or she wouldn’t go into "mom" mode and judge everything I do, and possibly get in trouble.
Then my dream changed and I got my dream, I just ran away. I was on the sidewalk, running with my best friend, and then she saw a red bird in the air, and it gradually turned into a red airplane with jets, and then we somehow got inside the airplane and we sailed over an island that was France, and then we we’re in another city, and then we we’re driving by car and we we’re looking for our favorite place to shop. :/

I am going to be spending ALOT of money on my wedding. I know exactly how i want it to go. It’s going to be very, very formal. I have the perfect dress. My problem is that my family is a bunch of rednecks. My dads family is, at least. The last wedding I attended, my uncle walked down the aisle with his whole family dressed in jeans and skull/marijuana, etc t-shirts IN FRONT OF THE BRIDE. because they were late and wanted a seat in front. I’ve already decided that I do not want children at my wedding but how do I put it nicely that i want adults to either dress nicely and not screw stuff up or not come at all? I’ve been planning this for a year and a half and I don’t want anything to screw it up. Sorry if I sound mean, but I’ve been dreaming of this day for the last 5 years.

One of my best friends has been engaged since April of last year. She’s getting married next weekend on 10/10/10. A couple of months after she was engaged, her fiance we deployed to Iraq for 15 months. With just a few days to go, my friend has finished the last minuted details of her wedding. She’s a DIY type of bride. Her budget is ,000 (yeah I know corny), but she’s managed to keep her costs UNDER 00. With a lot of help (and ideas) from me, and her MOH, she’s going to have a memorable wedding. One hundred guests have been invited, and 91 people did RSVP. Suffice it to say she’s excited and very proud we were able to pull of her elegant wedding with a smaller price tag.

We’ve been employed at the same restaurant for over a year now (this is a second job for both of us). Last night she reminded our manager that she starts her vacation on saturday morning. Our manager is a really laid back kind of person. The MOH is also one of my good friends, and she’s been working her tail off for the bride as well. We both love the bride as if she were our sister.The brid is the type of lady who will do things for others, without expecting anything in return. She took care of my son when I had to have surgery. She took care of the MOH when she had the chicken pox. Me and the MOH were honored to help her plan her dream wedding. We (the moh and me) feel the bride deserves to be spoiled as much as possible for her very special day. The bride is looking for to sunday as she walks down the aisle. We want her to have as much fun as possible. All of the small details have been taken care of.

Now here is why I’m asking the question. Last night me and the MOH were discussing a few last minute details that we needed to do for the bride. The bride was not around to hear the nasty remarks being made by our co-worker. One of our co-workers is a twice divorced woman, with no children, in her early forties. She always makes remarks about relationships, marriage, and being married. Then she went on to say some things about the bride, that were extremely offensive. One of the remarks was the bride shouldn’t "feel entitled to be a princess". I understand her attitude, because I’ve been divorced. However, she has no right to make others feel uncomfortable, simply because she’s bitter about her own life. The MOH told the woman to mind her own business, and to keep her opinions to herself. But our co-worker has a big mouth, and she decided to tell a few others about her opinions. Suffice it to say by the end of the night, the bride was told all about the confrontation. The bride was annoyed, but not upset.

You really only get to be the blushing bride one day in your life. My best friend works so hard. Me & the MOH feels she’s entitled to a great day. I feel every woman is entitled to a great wedding. What do you think? Please no rude answers, thanks.
Dixi, the groom was overseas on deployment, for most of the wedding planning. But he was the one who chose the date, colors, and ‘theme’ so to speak. Me, the bride, and the MOH did the rest. I can’t wait to see her walking down the aisle to her guy. They are so blessed.

I’m a Christian to. My man is also in the military.

The bride’s brother will be giving her away and she wants him to carry the urn with her father’s ashes in one arm as he escorts her down the aisle. I think it would be more appropriate to light a candle in his honor or otherwise remember him. Any ideas?

My half-sister, whom I can’t stand, is getting married. Our father passed away two years ago and my step-mother has asked me to walk her down the aisle. I really don’t even want to go to the wedding, but I’m doing it for my step-mother. What are my responsibilities? Am I supposed to make a toast or say kind words at the reception? I don’t even know her fiancee.

I’ve heard the "processional" is the term for the walk the bride takes down the aisle, towards her groom, at the start of the wedding (usually accompanied by her dad, etc)

So what is the term for the groom and bride walking back down the aisle together, at the end of the wedding??

I can’t remember!

Thanks!

I don’t think I would choose a big fluffy dress anyway but my mother acts like I should wear a pants-suit down the aisle because of my age. What do you think is age appropriate for a first time bride of my age? I would love to see sample pictures if you would post links, that would be excellent! Thank you. Please, no rude answers.
