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.

Father Giving Away His Daughter

"While my father did walk me down the aisle at my first wedding, there was no giving me away. My father didn’t own me and didn’t make decisions about who got to marry me. My parents weren’t invited to my second wedding, something my mom was salty about for a while. But hey, I love my daughter more than I love her and my daughter went to school that day. It was a very simple civil service and the only reason there were any other people there was because we needed witnesses."

Wedding Gifts

"I won't solicit or take wedding gifts. There's no point in people giving me money for getting married. I believe that anyone daring to get married should bear full responsibility for it. I know this sounds controversial but that's how I see it. If one can't cover wedding expenses, how will they cover the costs of sustaining a family (which are much more expensive)? I don't want to bother others with my choices. I'd rather be given money when I get sick (which isn't a choice)."
