Your Most Ridiculous Wedding Idea

I wanted the DJ to have confetti shooting cannons that would burst at particular points in songs and when we made our grand entrance.

I was so blankety-blank-blank tired of family members fighting over WHERE the Wedding should be, that I originally booked a location near NOBODY in my family (including me!), so they'd just shut up.

Thank goodness I got the deposit back.

I originally wanted a designer dress. Then I priced the one I wanted...20K.

Let's just say when I lost my job 2 months after being engaged, I got a quick reality check. Found a gown similar to the sytle of it for less than $300. Needless to say, it was a blessing in digsuise.

I had grand ideas of the top of the Philadelphia skyline ... I think that would have cost like a million dollars.

When I lived in Chicago I decided I wanted to get married at Cafe Brauer, just like 99% of everyone who lived in Chicago. See above million-dollar problem. Ahhh so naive and ridiculous ....

Riki, I remember those leopard print shoes and clutches. They were HAWT though!!!

I wanted to have centerpieces with gold fish swimming around in them. Um, yeah...didn't happen.

I priced fireworks at one point, because, if it wasn't insanely expensive, we all know it would have been awesome to have our own personal wedding fireworks display.

Having a small wedding. Apparently, mother dearest thought that was ridiculous.

20k dress... it was beautiful. I'll get it for the vow renewal in 20 years LOL

Haha, Riki I remember those shoes you wanted!! I think my most ridiculous wedding idea was the DIY list I had after I'd been engaged about a month. My bridesmaids, my mom, and I were going to complete a different decor project EACH weekend! It's been a year and we haven't done anything. And that's ok

Trying to do a DIY wedding - normally no biggie except I live 2700 miles away from my venue.

Needless to say we are paying people to do 99% of the stuff now!

Hahahaha @ OTW

i completely understand. my small wedding of 75-100 people max hit 200 without me even blinking because my mother said, "we can't hurt feelings, you know".

I really want Louboutins as my wedding heels.

FH is still telling me no. I'm going to continue trying, until it finally sinks in that I'm not getting them.

I also always wanted fireworks. Prices and location gave me a reality check. That won't be happening...

I want a unity tree... In a Catholic Church. Haha I'm making this thing happen... No unity candle bs... Trowels of dirt and puting water on it. The priest and deacon can just deal with it. Haha

Wanting to have my wedding at the Ringling Ca d'Zan. Would have been beautiful, but kinda hard to pull off without a $100K budget...

I wanted to rent an exclusive carnival for our guests to enjoy AFTER the reception.

Some of these make me giggle so bad. I wish I had a good one to share but my small budget kept my ass in check! Lol.

Haha I also forgot that at one point I wandered how much it would cost to have Pitbull come and perform at the reception. I never looked into it, but I still kinda think it would be awesome lol

ETA: terrible spelling/grammar

Same as Hillery with the Louboutins. When I first started planning I was set on having a pair of Croisette Orlato Louboutins that cost $695. At first Hubby went along with it because I guess he didn't think I was serious. When I talked about ordering them, he nixed it and when I told my aunt (who is like my second mother), she said I was crazy for just one day. I snapped back to reality.

And another out there idea was having our new rings custom made with his birthstone (sapphire) and my birthstone (opal). At first it sounded great to both of us until we started getting some quotes. Ended up getting rings (non custom) at Jared's.

Lol Nay, I'm hoping I hit the jackpot at the casino so I can get mine! So far, I think it's the only way I'm going to get them.
