Just because your mother pulls out a strapless wedding gown that she believes will set the aisle on fire doesn’t mean you have to actually agree to it. If you would prefer to have a costumed themed wedding, you have that right. Mothers and the soon to be mother-in-laws can be less than understanding and can push their will on your day. Being assertive can help ease this.
Some women choose to go all out, and that’s fine. They have a little liposculpture done beforehand and they don’t settle for the groom to look any less than his best. If the real thing is not available, some women fine the absolute best in fine costume jewelry for the women of the wedding party as well as mothers. Going all out can be fun and it can fulfill a childhood fantasy for some women.
Other women just aren’t there and the only childhood fantasy that they would be portraying is the one a parent has had for them. This day is very special and it should be remembered the way that you want it to be.
You don’t have to ditch it all. You might believe that you think the gown is perfect but you are sticking to your guns that you will not hold the ceremony in a religious setting. If the beaches or the mountains hold more intrigue and romance for you and that’s what you want, go for it. Many individuals that do not go to church regularly do not get married inside of one.
Women have come to realize that the idea of the story book wedding doesn’t lead to a story book life. Whenever there are two people trying to make things work, there are two people who will disagree, argue, and work toward resolution.
Today’s women as well as the women of the last decade have struggled hard to recreate the idea of what constitutes a good wedding. Sometimes the predictability of tradition needs to be broken for all kinds of reasons. When women in the seventies opted to remove the word ‘obey’ from tradition vow ceremonies it came with resistance. Today, women have more choices because of that as long as the voice is spoken.
