I love this article. I am in the pre-official-engagement-waiting-for-the-ring faze and I am kinda dreading the offical time because I will have to tell my family what I want at my wedding… and she will birth a heifer when she hears about my sparkler filled, no tux, birdcage vailed wedding! The fact I am not getting married in the catholic church will send most of my family into a judgefest… BUT I will simply forward them this tacky ass article and tell them to suck it… in more or less words. <3

I had a goth wedding and it was what I wanted. I worked within my budget, had no bills to pay after the wedding & went on a kickin' honeymoon to Ireland. Tacky? Probably. Fun? For Some. Boring? Hell No! People were probably talking about my wedding for years, as opposed to a couple of days. I didn't get married for anybody else. I got married for me!!! But I do love the blog Tacky Weddings.

I just remembered this blog post yesterday while reading about Ivanka Trump's wedding. In Yahoo Answers, lots of people say wedding registries are tacky, and it left me confused. Then Ivanka, the heiress of one of the richest men on earth, gets married with 3 wedding registries, with items from $10 to more than a thousand dollars. Does that mean that Ivanka was being tacky? (roll eyes) I don't care what others say, I'm going to register for my wedding. It's being practical. It's not like I'm forcing guests to give me gifts… I'm just giving them convenient choices.

I so wish I'd known about this site before I got married, I love everything about it.

My dad played piano for my wedding (with exception of the music I walked down the aisle to). He told the preacher "You know, I was planning on just walking her down while playing the keytar, but mom said something about making a mockery out of something or other…"

He did end up playing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" when the groomsmen came down the aisle (my husband was a ball-player). Which our guests started a singalong to. Which I'm pretty sure would be considered by most people to be Ticky-tick-tacky, but I contend was the coolest thing to happen at a wedding ever.

I've always refer to myself and a few others in my family as tack-heads because we are always saying wrong and inappropriate things that are better left unsaid.

Ariel, I love this post. I've already had at least 5 of the things I want to do be referred to as "tacky" at wedding forums I go to. Each time I see it though it's like "so what? I'll have fun!" Like the dollar dance and Cha Cha Slide (my favorite dancing song ever!). Thanks ^^

Wow…just wow! I think the groom would look good in one of those T-shirts with a tuxdeo print on the front!

haha all good. i hand wrote the addresses (and i do NOT have good handwriting). lots of ppl are saying things in my wedding are tacky but i decided at the beginning of all this to ignore. all girls in the wedding party, myself included, are wearing flip flops i dont wear heels most other days, why start when nobody can even see my feet?
