How many weddings have you been in?

Inspired by S E E R's topic!!!

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

How many weddings have you been in?

I'm going to cross my fingers and hope I have everyone beat, but I guess we will see. ;)

I've been in... 7 so far... twice as a ring bearer as a young lad, 4 times as a groomsmen... and once as a groom! :shock: I am scheduled to be a groomsmen once again in the near future but I guess I can't count that yet. ;) And another friend or two of mine will probably have me in their wedding but so far aren't planning on getting married... :anxious:

I have been in three so far. A flower girl in my second bro's 1st wedding as a little girl in, a candle lighter in my cousin's wedding when I was 8 or 9. Then a bridesmaid just this year in June in my oldest bro's second wedding. \:D/ I will probably be in more later on, but none that I know of at the moment. :)

Do Usher's count?

If not I've only been in one... when I was 5 I was the ring barer (the token cute kid necessary in all weddings to walk down aisle and draw "awwws")

Just my own. There was talk of others, but luckily I never had to wear any hideous dresses. :D

Two. Once as a ring bearer, and once (a month and a half ago) as a groomsman.

I've been to tons. But only participated in one. Two very close friends were getting married, and they stuck all 6 of us kids in their wedding. It was a lot of fun. :anxious:

My brother's getting married in May... But I'm not going to be in that one (imagine! ;) ) ...

So yeah, a grand total of 1! \:D/

I've only been in one...my older brother's wedding was June 2006. Hopefully I'll be in at least 3 more at some point...mine own and my other two siblings. I really don't think I have a chance of being in anyone else's wedding. :)

I think it'd count if the question had been, "Have you been at a wedding?" ;)

One. Soon to be too. I was a flower girl when my Grandma and Grandpa renewed their vows. The second one is my cousin's (it's in July), and we get to dress up as science fiction/fantasy characters. My cousin's going to be Galadriel, and I can't decide between Eowyn, a Disney Princess, or a handmaiden from SW. I can't wait nonetheless. I'm reading something. \:D/

Aaah! I forgot my granny's wedding! :mad: I stood by her and held her bouquet during the ceremony. Now I can't change my vote to 2. :(

Lol, you know whats funny? I have only been one of the guests in 1 wedding, that one was held at our church here, and I must say that was a very odd wedding. 3 flower girls, 5 bridesmaids, 5 groomsmen (including the maid of honor and best man I think, but I'm not sure) and a ring bearer, plus the bride, groom and the preacher. It was a feasco.
You would just have to meet the people to understand why this was so weird, they were the trashy type (no offence) they smoked and cussed and all that stuff.
about an hour or so before the wedding, the powerline behind our church blew out and the electricity went out, no lights, no air, no nothing (mind you this was in July...hot) that to me was like a bad omen saying "don't do this! Don't get married!"
The attendence was hardly twenty (counting my mother, me, the pastor, his wife and their son, we had helped out with our friend who was one of the bridesmaids and her girls were two of the flower girls)
The power was back on about 30 min after the wedding was supposed to be.
The ceremony was like no other.
The bestman was up there taking funny shots with a camera with one of the groomsmen and laughing outloud (I said loud).
They didn't even know what to do, because they fought at the dress rehersal!
I'm telling ya, it was weird! But it was funny, the five of us sat on the back row, trying very hard not to laugh out loud. :rofl2: it was crazy.
