1. The White Wedding Dress
I don't believe in that whole "purity" of the white dress business but have always like the tadition of having a white dress. Plus I think it looks better on me than Ivory.
2. Wedding Rings
Wedding rings are important. I have to agree with everyone else in a sense that they do symbolize our unity and commitment to one another. But I also like the idea of not having actual rings, for instance having a tattoo ring is a great idea to show your commitment.
3. The Bridal Party
This isn't very important to me. Esp with having a DW, we didn't feel right to put someone in this position. It's a big role not matter where the wedding takes place but it's so much more to ask someone to travel so far. I didn't want anyone to feel obligated and I didn't want it to be a financial burden on anyone. And now that we are getting closer to our date a lot of people who said they were coming wont be able to make it after all, which is fine but at the same time I'm glad we chose not to do a bridal party.
4. Your father giving you away
Not important to me personally. Unfortuantly I am not very close to my father & there has been a lot of family drama esp within this past year. He will be at the wedding but it doesn't feel right for him to "give me away" so I will walk down the isle with my husband to be.
5. An over-the-face veil (blusher)
Not for me and def not in caribbean! I like the idea of having a tiara though!
