Tradition

[Eleventh Doctor]

Hmm, this has been a consistent theme for you that we shouldn't take scripture lightly. Can you expand on that? Do you think some of us aren't taking it seriously enough?

@Pound Foolish

Yes, yes, my wedding will have those elements I am sure. I love beautiful things and my wedding will be no exception. I was just pointing out that you can skip all the tradition and still have a marriage occur. And I wear only dresses, so of course I will be wearing one on my wedding day. Just it might not be purchased with a 500 dollar price tag.

@Eleventh

That's up for you to decide. Just giving my opinion. Not sure how else to expand on this... I think everyone should be able to see that if we don't take the scripture seriously, we might fall into compromise.

[Eleventh Doctor]

Of course we should take Scripture seriously but does that mean airing on the side of extreme caution?

[Miss Friendship]

Well for me it does...

[Eleventh Doctor]

Okay, I can respect that conviction as long as it's not an expectation you put on others.

[Mr. Yorp]

...it might not be purchased with a 500 dollar price tag.

Yeah, it seems like it is tradition in the U.S. to have expensive, grand, huge weddings. Ugh.

[Miss Friendship]

I once read some statistics that couples who chose cheaper weddings often had better marriages.

Eleventh, don't ask me for a source, cause I don't remember where I read it. CNN maybe?

[Eleventh Doctor]

I believe you, I agree that big expensive weddings don't make sense.

*coughcough* $500 wouldn't get you much as far as average wedding dresses.

[Miss Friendship]

*Ahem ahem* I can make a dress for under 30 dollars.... So guarteened I could make a wedding dress for under 50...

[Rosy]

I was under the impression you were talking about store-bought dresses? Sorry. =P

[Mr. Yorp]

Yeah, some people make their own clothing, as odd as it may seem...

[Eleventh Doctor]

Some people do but not many, it's odd but odd doesn't mean bad it just means uncommon

[Rosy]

Okay, sorry, we're getting off topic (and it's kinda my fault) but there's no need to be so condescending. I thought Miss Friendship was speaking of store-bought dresses in her original post. That is all.

I was actually, and my point was I wouldn't be buying one of those. So yeah, you got the right impression

There's no need to make such a statement to a girl whose older sister is a seamstress either.

To speak to sewing a dress though, it is getting harder and harder to make a special occasion dress for under $30 with the price of fabric going through the roof. Even if I was going to sew a wedding gown whenever I get married, I doubt I'll be able to get all the fabric and essentials for under $100 at least.

[Miss Friendship]

True Belle. I am talking about a non-occasion dress for under 30.

Uhh, why are we discussing dresses and prices anyway?
