Doll Wedding/Marriage?

I never had weddings with any of my dolls before or now. XDD I find the pictures taken of doll weddings beautiful, but it's most certainly not for me. O:

 

I had a wedding for two of my dolls, but only myself and my girlfriend were there and the best part of it for me was making special clothes for the occasion. It was a wonderful thing to do and I'd do it again if any of my other dolls decided to tie the knot.

A doll wedding and a pet wedding are not the same thing at all. If you bought dolls to be representations of your fiction characters, chances are that you might make photostories with them, and then isn't a doll wedding just like another photostory, just with friends present and a little more preparation? Your pets are not representations of characters, they are animals. There is a big distinction.

 

It is illegal for me to marry another women - but people want their dolls to get married. Just seems out of perspective to me.

 

none of my darlings are married... but the idea does sound fun. maybe envy will walk down the aisle someday. i'd definately want other doll owners to come (mostly cause i would be too clueless to plan it on my own. )

Edit: I know its not real... but its fun anyways.

 

Yeah, it's illegal for me to marry another woman too, which I would give anything to do, but doll marriages are not real legal marriages, right? They are just creative photo shoots that mean something to their owners. I don't think that anyone is asking for their dolls to be given a marriage license. It seems like people have taken this issue much more seriously than it was intended? Perhaps not *shrug* I certainly don't mean to sound snitty and I appologize if I do =)

 

You are taking it too seriously. REAL people get married so real people might have legal issues regarding marriage. Dolls are dolls. They are not alive, they are resin toys, that are there for us to enjoy and play with. Play and reality are completely different things. To apply reality based judgement to dolls that you would apply to living, breathing people, just isn't applicable.

ROFL, I totally cross-posted with Majenta

 

Hold on a second! It's not like we are talking about a legal, binding marriage. Like everything else about these dolls, it's *pretend*. It's not like we are talking about people and dolls getting married or anything.

 

You had a problem with me saying: I guess it is a fine line for me between "play" and "taking something seriously." If its play then we're all adults that play with dolls. But if it gets taken very seriously it would bother me.

I assumed that meant you were arguing for taking it very seriously. (Off topic: Sprint gives health insurance to dogs, but not partners). PS - I have met people who say their dolls are real, and have actual conversations with them that they can hear, but we can't.

 

Kiyono, I think pretty much everyone in this thread has been saying that they don't take it all that seriously. It's just fun and play!

My "arguing" was in regard to your analogy to the issue of gay marriage. I simply said that real, human situations couldn't be compared to play, pretend resin situations.

 

I get you, but I don't think that anyone who's responded to this thread is taking the marriage thing seriously. We're all just having fun. It's just that some of us have more fun with friends to share it with. and we do a lot ( or a little) to make it more fun. I think for a lot of us, childhood hasn't completely left us yet. I for one, have no intention of letting mine go. I can plan a wedding tha may never happen in real life and totally enjoy it.

 

When people think their dolls are real I think they are crossing the line between fantasy and play. So I was pulling an analogy that obviously was lost on you, I apologize - I'm pretty random most the time as my friends will attest.

I still think you are aruging the same thing I said originally?

To me a doll meet up is inviting a bunch of people you don't know to get together, so if you invite a bunch of people you don't know to bring dolls to get together, have cake, go through a marrige ceremony, and rent a chapel, I admit I don't get that.

Getting a group of friends together in a backyard so their dolls can be props in your photostory, or getting your friends together to play with your dolls, well, most of us do that.

So its a fine line to me. You may push the line to a different spot, but we both agree the line is there, and I have no problem with someone disagreeing where that line should be drawn.

 

People view their dolls in different ways (it's one of the neat things about this hobby)--beware of assuming that someone is out of touch with reality when you don't know them well or haven't discussed *why* they feel the way they do. However, that's really a discussion for a different thread...

I view my dolls as more than just dolls, but I still don't view doll weddings and people weddings as the same thing. Especially since I have two family members that are getting married this summer--there's a lot that goes into planning a wedding and making that kind of commitment, and I think most of the folks here realize that. Doll weddings also aren't legally binding, and nobody's looking to have their dolls legally married.

I can see doing a wedding at a dollmeet--after all, the people there would also be interested in dolls and probably get a kick out of the whole thing, though I would probably go with a smaller wedding, myself, lol. These dolls and the things we do with them bring out fun, creativity and imagination which means people let go and get funky with them sometimes : )

 

If I ever have characters that end up wanting to get married - then they'll get married. I certainly wouldn't go all out - but I might be inclined to have more than just a photoshoot. It'd be a good excuse for a themed meet-up, as others have said, and I think that'd be nice.

If it's part of the future storyline - then it has to be depicted, for me.

 

I think doll weddings are neat. I'd like to have one, but I don't think I'd make it a big event, it would moreso be a chance to design some nice outfits and set up some great photos

 

Spoiler:
One of my dears and one of Miako dears will be marriage in future, W have made rings and I think It could be a ceremony for them XDDDDDDD But I's early yet, they're angry with each other because they're confuse about their feelings XDDDDDD She is a very strong girl and he don't know how to explain his emotions..... Drama queen XDDDDD

I would like make a real-like ceremony for this love union *__________*

 

well i think its a GREAT idea. i'm biased, of course, cuz two of mine are getting married next year. lol my friend amanda has already committed herself to help me plan the wedding i actually just got done making the engagement ring

Uh...... no. Just for the fact that I have one female doll.... and I won't be getting a male doll for at least another three or four months..... And the size difference.

I want an SD male, but my girl is MSD. It'd look like my poor boy was a pedo!

 

Marrige? That makes me think of Barbie and Ken playsets. I am not into romance in my characters and stories, so I can't see this ever happening. Plus I don't have/won't have any females. I can't see any of my boys wanting to wed each other either.
I am sure that alot of people would find it fun though!

 

Awww doll marriages are cute ^_^ If I could get away with it, I'd set them up at the local Catholic shrine and have fun taking pictures! Of course, the security wouldn't be too happy about it.... has anyone tried this before?

 

My friend jsm031087 is going to have his couple marry, i can't wait for it! It's gonna be real cute.
