No More White Wedding Dresses And Other Traditions That Need To Go?

Wedding traditions outdated

Weddings are a delicate balance of what's trendy, what's traditional, and - whatever the bride wants!

A new poll asked people who'd recently been to a wedding, or got married recently, what traditions are outdated, and which ones are now "in." As someone who's never wanted to GET married, number one for me would be: DON"T DO IT!

The Mike & Carla Morning Show talked about those traditional customs listeners actually dropped from their own weddings...listen to the segment from this morning and see if you don't agree!

Old customs that are OUT include: 

The bride not being seen before the wedding

The bride's parents paying for the wedding

The groom's guests sitting on separate sides

Walking down the aisle to "Here Comes the Bride"

Something old, new, borrowed, and blue

No more Chicken Dance - wait, WHAT???

New stuff that's IN right now includes:

Small weddings or just eloping

Wedding websites

Bright, vibrant colors

Proposal videos

Alternative rings"

Non-white wedding gowns

Non-gendered wedding parties

Having more than one Maid of Honor and Best Man

The survey also showed that the perfect number of wedding guests is exactly - 115.  (Luckily your drunk uncle came in at #116)

And just for fun - Carla's Wedding Playlist:

Another One Bites the Dust

Love Stinks

You're So Vain

Highway to Hell

Help!

That Don’t Impress Me Much

It's the End of the World as We Know It

Bad Romance

Before He Cheats

It's a Mistake

I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For

All in good fun people, all in good fun!
