We are having a very patriotic wedding. We both have lost our spouses thru Cancer and have all grandchildren and children in the wedding. The Flower Girls are wedding sailor dresses that are sooo cute. I really would love to have a patriotic wedding dress, but they are soo fancy. The bridesmaid either have blue or red pocka dot skirts with white sweaters. I am still debating about flowers. Should be a nice but patriotic wedding. We chose this day so almost everyone would be off the weekend and could travel. We have losts of relatives attending the wedding. I am getting married the saturday before Memorial Day 2008.

As it is my dress is white with white beading on the top and I am having read and blue beading added. My maid of honor is wearing red and my bridesmaid is wearing blue. My little flowergirls are wearing white with one having a blue sash and the other with a red sash. The men are wearing black. I will have red/white/blue centerpieces and giving out patriotic theme gifts as thank you gifts. My Bouquet will be have red, white and blue roses. And my cake will have red and blue thru the white frosting. I can't wait for my beautiful Patriotic Wedding. I just wish the 4th of July fell on a Saturday next year!

It's a way of saying to the groom, "You're not just marrying me today, you're marrying America. Then, later tonight, you and America are going to have really amazing sex."

She chose it because it was she said it would be an easy day to remember. First anniversary? They *both* forgot! Because Memorial Day changes every year. *facepalm* My 12th anniversary is on June 2. We chose that day because my husband graduated from tech school on the first and no one was allowed to get married while they were in class (already marrieds was a different case). If we had the option we would have done it on Memorial Day which that year was the 31st.

My brother got married after graduating from the Naval Academy - all the swords and men in dress whites....soooooooo hot. Haha, but also very nice because they did have some Navy traditions at the wedding as a result. The man I know who got married on the 4th said it was even nicer at their reception on a lake because everyone went outside and watched the fireworks, the kids had sparklers. Overall, it ended up being a very cool wedding. Actually, I think the groom did wear his dress uniform, although he was Army.

Then home-churned ice cream afterwards. Heaven knows I'd have to wear a full-body bib if I tried to eat this in anything besides my birthday suit, let alone a wedding dress!
