You can tell most of these marriages are doomed to fail.

Josey,

Why? Because they don't want to follow every standard traditional thing?

#2 Pigeon Fanciers (what dove and pigeon handlers are called) train their birds to return to them exclusively. These fanciers offer professional services for staging whether it be for weddings, funerals, or other celebrations for a fee. The birds are released and do flyovers then the fancier calls them back. Easy peasy. It's the idiots who buy white doves/pigeons to save a few bucks that are abusive. Most breeders in the U.S. won't sell you birds without a vetting process. So you can't just order a dozen online and do effall with them.

Reading these is like a view in to the mind of an unhinged lunatic. Seriously, these are some sick women. Guys - run, don’t walk, away from women if you discover this about them prior to the marriage. Marry these women and you are in for some bad times.

A lot of bitter, self important people who are not going to be a joy for anyone to have as a life partner.

Since not one of these are obligatory for anyone, just don't follow! Why criticize.

If someone tells me that they don't understand some tradition a take them as an illiterate person. You don't need to follow, but understand? Just research it. shoot

Free world etc.

You can choose what you want.

Polterabend

"Polterabend is a German wedding custom in which, on the night before the wedding, the guests break porcelain to bring luck to the couple's marriage. (From Wikipedia) Sorry, but I don't have any reason to smash porcelain. Plus, traditionally on Polterabend the groom celebrates the last night in which he is “free” and unmarried. That's just old sexist thinking."

Obligatory Photos

"Well, I have been in charge of the stag, being his best man and the the other members of the group being a little wlld, it was my job to keep him safe.

I have dragged up and gone on a Hen night, as we were close friends and she wanted me there, so I made it an event.

I have been in charge of the music on the wedding reception night, in my role as DJ. I have made the wedding cake and catered the wedding breakfast, in my role as a chef.

But the one thing I will not partake in is the obligatory photos."
