But Where Will They Hold the Honeymoon?
When it comes to weird weddings, I found one that takes the cake. Eight couples in Taiwan took the plunge, so to speak, and got married in a “luxury lavatory” that was designed by one of the participating brides. The town mayor presided over the wedding ceremony, and there is actual footage of one of the grooms-to-be using one of the urinals.
Thankfully, the reception dinner was served in a different building.
And to think I actually had someone tell me a redwood grove was a horrible place to get married because Jesus wouldn’t be there.
At least we don’t have footage of the flower girl watching the groom take a leak right where we got married.
Two thoughts (at least …): 1) Ack! It’s a Bridal Meringue Brigade! and 2) I intend to leave the “me looking on & smiling while my new hubby uses the urinal” pic OFF of my list of must-have photos.
Twistie: Huh, I’ve always imagined Jesus as the kind of guy who’d really dig on a redwood grove.
un-bride: It’s always a good idea to be clear with your photographer and videographer about what you want. I can only hope that the bride was suitably peeved at her videographer’s choices. Then again, if you’re going to take a leak while your wedding guests look on, all bets are probably off.
okay, far be it from me to poo-poo the weddings of others, but this is one crappy idea.
Did no one notice that one of the brides designed the toilet, and her groom built it.
It could be romantic for them.
As to the dresses, pretty typical for central Taiwan
Roya, it makes sense for that particular couple (especially if that’s where and how they met), but what are the other 5 couples doing getting married in a public toilet?
7. Other 7 couples. Excuse me while I return my high school diploma, since I clearly can’t count.
You know in china these sorts of things are pretty common, probably because the real wedding in traditional chinese culture is in the home, (bowing to in laws, gifts of jewelry, serving tea), really this sort of thing is the registry office portion. And since these sorts of things are really publicity stunts by local government, they often give some sort of financial incentive, and usually wave the official fees.
In my family and we would never do something so tacky, but then we have our own pretensions
SusanC: Good one!
Roya: I won’t say it isn’t meaningful for that one couple, but there six others to consider. However, that said, while I wouldn’t get married in a public restroom myself, I wouldn’t tell anyone NOT to do it if that’s what they reeeeaally wanted to do.
