Unexpected Wedding-Planning Disagreements

The list for April 24, 2013
The Top 16 Unexpected
Wedding-Planning Disagreements

  1. She insists the bridal bouquet be amaranth pink, while he insists it be charm pink.

  2. "Sorry, honey, but Aunt Hilda can’t come to the wedding. This whole thing is expensive enough without adding in the cost of an exhumation."

  3. "You know that guy who sells flowers at the end of the off-ramp? We can save hundreds by buying one bouquet from him every day for two weeks before the wedding!"

  4. She assumes ulterior motives for his suggesting the groomsmen be "shirts" and the bridesmaids "skins."

  5. She insists her father, a newly ordained minister, perform the ceremony. However, that entails all the guests traveling to the prison chapel at Angola.

  6. She wants to release doves at the end of ceremony. He wants to bring his shotgun.

  7. He wants an atheist ceremony in casual clothes at a local park with just your few closest friends and an alcohol-free all-vegan reception, and you want a wedding.

  8. Finding dress material that matches the groomsmen’s camouflage tuxes.

  9. She is okay with you streaming the reception live from your Google Glasses for those who aren’t there, but is not crazy about the plans to continue the live feed through the wedding night.

  10. China decisions: She wants Mikasa’s "Cloverfield Garden" fine bone china, he wants DeerSlayer.com’s "Survivalist Tin Campfire Set."

  11. He wants chocolate cake. She wants chocolate groomsmen.

  12. It’s not that she dislikes your "Star Trek" wedding theme idea, it’s that you asked her to wear the red uniform.

  13. She absolutely loves the ivory dress with real pearl beading. However, she insists on wearing it herself.

  14. "Are you serious?!? Game of Thrones is a GREAT theme!"

  15. You want an ice sculpture of a heart with doves. He wants an ice sculpture of your O-face.
And the Number 1 Unexpected Wedding-Planning Disagreement…

  1. She wants your tux to be black with a red cummerbund, to match the flowers in the bouquet, and for the groomsmen to wear dark gray tuxes, with magenta vests to match the dresses of the bridesmaids, with all the men’s hair cut neatly off the neck and above the ears with sideburns neatly trimmed. You, on the other hand, want to shoot her.
