Odd this came up, I have been wanting to ask you about Irish weddings! My cousin has just been formally engaged and is getting married in September. SHe says she wanted a 'tradtional irish wedding' and found info online. She said they wear light blue gowns, and there are fairies instead of flower girls. My Grandmom told my sister and I this on Christmas, and my sister, being a smart a@$, says, "Oh, where is she going to find a fairy?" I am trying not to laugh, knowing that she means, like fairies don't exist, how will that happen? And my grandmother (not very bright) replies, "Oh, she already ordered wings for Rebecca and Autumn!" 'And she wants to make sure that nothing else is going on at around the same time, cause she wants it to be special." This girl is just screaming for attention! She expects to contro lthe whole world, and when things happen to make her wedding special? I think I might elope the day before or after just to be a brat (j/k). If you knew her personality growing up you would get how absurd this is. is this for real? Is that really the traditional irish wedding? I think she is going too far and only looking for attention. I am definately not one to stick to tradition, but she is. Our family (on my dad's side) is Irish, but it is not like we have strong roots, not like we have close relatives still there, or like she has ever visited! I am not sure, but I don't her mother's family is Irish. My grandmom always is blabbing her mouth about being Irish, but it is not like she was raised there, or even born there. I think they are all going through an identity crisis. What do you think? I also want to make it clear that I would not have a problem with this wedding if it was true to her personality and life style.
