Moderators OLD fashioned preacher Posted September 9, 2013 Moderators Share Posted September 9, 2013 Another thing that irks me is this business of "removing the garter". Folks can do what they want but It has no business in a Christian wedding. My daughter won't be doing that either, which I doubt seriously that she would want to. I don't do weddings where they want a garter ceremony, and anytime that I have been photographer for a wedding I told them upfront that if there is to be a garter ceremony they need to get a different photographer!! swathdiver and heartstrings 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JerryNumbers Posted September 10, 2013 Members Share Posted September 10, 2013 I don't know if it's true, Jerry, as I only looked it up on the net briefly, but the pages said that white wedding dresses didn't become the norm until the 1920s and that previously women had just worn the best frock they owned. I figure that is probably true, yet I feel sure those who have have always showed off putting on big fancy weddings. As for me it does not impress me. What impresses me is the man & woman who gets married & really means it when they say I do until death do we part. The wife & I got married in her parents house, she wore a nice dress, & her pastor married us, that was on May 18, 1968. At that time I had a 1963 Chevy Impala 2 door hard top, & they threw dyed rice, I never got all the dyed rice out of that car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Glory Land Posted September 10, 2013 Members Share Posted September 10, 2013 Nice widow lady in my church, meet her husband and got married a month later. They live 60 year together before he passed away. Back then for life meant for life, I fell short in this matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Miss Daisy Posted September 11, 2013 Members Share Posted September 11, 2013 Hopefully, we've learned from our errors of the past. To make us more aware ourselves and to warn others of mistakes they may be choosing that we be worthy to give advice. JerryNumbers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John81 Posted September 11, 2013 Author Members Share Posted September 11, 2013 I had never heard of that. It's not a Christian practice. Among some, the removal of the garter is very lewd; and this in public (often in a church) with family and everyone cheering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aydenjason123 Posted October 29, 2019 Members Share Posted October 29, 2019 I think wedding dress should be attractive because its the wedding dress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members heartstrings Posted October 29, 2019 Members Share Posted October 29, 2019 A Christian wedding is something chaste and holy. Save "attractive" for the groom in your own home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be attractive without being seductive, immodest, revealing, or alluring. Most today, however, are not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
