Your Dolls in Your Wedding??

I would definitely have my dolls at my wedding! (not like I'm getting married anytime soon though)
But I'll have to set up a special cornor for the dolls and have someone look after them.
If I have a girl and a boy doll -currently have a boy only- (and happen to marry my current boyfriend), I will have the dolls dress up as us on the day we first met >w< We first met at a cosplay convention. He was cosplaying as Lelouch while I was in a lolita dress

 

I'm not ever getting married (not part of my beliefs) but any huge life event like that I'd rather like some of my action figures that I've had forever to be there. If by whatever time these events are I've had a doll for a while and gotten emotionally attached I'd want them there too. (I actually brought a Pullip Taeyang and an old action figure from 1995 to my college graduation) XD

 

My fiancee and I both collect and have loved having dolls as a hobby for the last three years. That said, I don't think there's a chance either of us would want our dolls at our wedding for a few different reasons.

Aside from my mom and dad, none of our family really "gets" our collecting, and quite a few often make jokes about it and our "creepy" dolls. We also both have quite a few friends outside the hobby.

Also, weddings can be busy and crazy and I think we'll both be too busy and enjoying ourselves too much to really pay attention to our dolls and if any of them have been mishandled or knocked over, or something else unfortunate. It kind of seems like a needless risk to take with something so expensive.

Most importantly though, when we get married it's about us, our commitment to each other and our lives and our families coming together; and lets face it... to non-doll people, dolls become kind of an odd distraction. I'm selfish, the day we get married I want the attention to be on that, not the "strange" group of dolls sitting around.

So as much as I enjoy my dolls, not a chance they'd take part in our wedding.

 

Jaxxon, Rivven, and Jaeger will DEFINITELY be present at my wedding
I think the whole idea is cute

 

Thank you on both counts

 

I just recently got married and I actually thought about it for a second....then laughed. My hsband and I both have dolls and we both thought...BAD IDEA. Too many people around running and dancing and such. Scary thought. I would be devastated if someone mistakenly knocked them over. It just seems like an accident waiting to happen. Not saying that it would not be cute. If you get married in an old time vintage house like I did, it may be ok if you leave them in one of the house rooms where you get dressed or what not. But I did not want to take the chance. Also a lot of my family would see it ridiculous and my Mom (who does like my dolls) would have been pissed off at me if I would have. "Time and place" she would say. And I think I would agree with her. I love my dolls but I also respect my family. I had a very untraditional wedding in the first place, it probably would have added to the oddness.

I also agree with sleep_pattern "Most importantly though, when we get married it's about us, our commitment to each other and our lives and our families coming together; and lets face it... to non-doll people, dolls become kind of an odd distraction. I'm selfish, the day we get married I want the attention to be on that, not the "strange" group of dolls sitting around."

 

In a complete role-reversal, my future wife loathes dolls, while I adore them. She would.... probably strangle me to death, poofy white dress or not, if I set up my dolls at our wedding. So, while I would gladly include them, I would rather, you know, maintain life.

Well, maybe I can sneak a puki or two onto the top of the cake.... *much twisting of moustache*

 

I wouldn't mind bring two of my dolls to my wedding. If I were to marry my boyfriend, I would have them both wearing matching ASU shirts [Where we met]. Although my girl would end up wearing the Art Institute logo somewhere since I'm currently attending AI. Then again, after seeing Shelly667's photos, wearing matching outfits would be adorable too!

 

I would love to have dolls at the reception if I ever get married. But I'd either have them in some sort of glass/plastic case, a biiiiig sign that said 'DO NOT TOUCH' right by them, or only have them out for a short time while Emblen watched them and then put them in a safe place. As for having them in the actual ceremony, I love the idea of having my bridesmaids holding some of them. I'd probably keep my little zombie out of it though. I don't see anything wrong with including the dolls as long as I make sure everyone knows to be super careful with them and there aren't many small children attending. I'd probably be more inclined to have dolls at my wedding than pets; at least they don't make noise and poo and pee everywhere.

 

I got married last November, and while my dolls weren't part of the ceremony itself, I did encourage my guests that were into dolls to bring them. Mostly because I got married at the Japanese Friendship Gardens in Phoenix (japanesefriendshipgardens.org ) and I'm sure that while I was taking pictures after the ceremony, that it would easily be cool for those with dolls to take pics too.

Plus, three out of my four bridesmaids I met through dolls, and one of my dearest friends, one that I consider an Aunt, Aernath, that I met through this hobby as well, flew out from Florida to attend my wedding, and brought her boys as well, and brought my wedding present from her and my other Aunt, Baakay, a Soom Glot. My wedding reception (which was held at my house), turned into an impromptu doll meet, and it was awesome and wonderful, and I couldn't have asked for a better day, honestly. I wouldn't have had half the people at the wedding that I invited if it hadn't been for dolls, so I felt it was only appropriate to have them involved in my big day.

To each thier own, truly.

 

I really think it depends on what kind of wedding your having (big or small), how many people you know and would trust around your dolls, and really the atmosphere of the whole event period.
If I had unruly family or inlaws I wouldn't dare have dolls at my wedding. If everyone I invited was trust worthy, respected the dolls and heavens knows helped with the influence of them on my life, then yes, I would bring them and show them off perhaps during the reception when everything wasn't suppose to be focused on myself and future spouse (whomever they may be.)

To safely bring them into a wedding without having to worry on your big day would be a treat to a lot of people. But you have to remember they have to be safe - you don't want to spend the entire wedding worrying about X-doll falling off the table.

 

Hehe! No! A wedding is between the two who are to be married, so I guess the dolls gotta have their own little celebration at home...

 

For me it would be a kind of sentimental tribute to Eiichiro Oda, who created the title (One Piece manga and anime series) most of my BJD come from. For a once in my life day, I would go for taking my whole crew with me.

It would also be a way of sharing this hobby with my loved ones who do not know about it yet (I do not care if there were people who thought about it as something childish or odd), although my BJD would not be kind of on top of the cake or special dressed at all.

In case of bringing them to it, I would ask some of my closest friends into this hobby who were there to take care of the situation when I was not able to, like I would do about my dear pets.

It would be so special having them all with me, with us, like in our every day, but in that special one. For me they are for sure so it seems logical they were there with us.

But I am not kind of liking weddings specially. I am more like ok, guy, let's write on a paper we are going to love each other from now on like we have done during these 15 years we have been together.

Therefore, I am really afraid for me it is more probable a quick go telling few loved ones to come and sign for the spot than a huge wedding with a better chance to bring all my BJD with me.

However, destiny is not written. Who knows?

 

I've thought about it, and though I would love to have them at mine, I'm afraid I wouldn't have them be there. My wedding will be outdoors on the beach, and being that I'd be trying to get everything ready, I'd be afraid that something may happen to them I'd rather know they are safe at home, waiting for me, and who knows, maybe I could get a few pictures before and after the wedding with them

 

i love the idea of puki pukis for the cake toppers!!! i may use it!

 

Not to the wedding ceremony as I don't want them to get "injured" or get into any accident with people rushing arounding etc. But I would definately want them involved in the wedding photo shoots. One picture with all my dolls at least...

 

Hmm not sure in what way I would have them there, but I would really like having at least one doll with me. They bring me so much happiness, why not take them with me on what's supposed to be one of the happiest days of my life? Not sure how my significant other would respond though. Hopefully he won't mind or care :P We'll see!
My Ukkie (puki pukisha) has been a part of the wedding of close friends of ours He was the little ring bearer! I think I'd want something like that too!

 

I am planning on doing that if i ever get married. I just need to find two dolls that are a perfect looking couple that remind me of me and my bf if he ever aksed me to marry him ^^. The two i have in mind are hard to find. but i think infront of the cake would be cute. My aunt had to mini fees ontop of her cake (plastic on the top keeping the dolls fromt he frosting) It was sooo cute.

 

I would love to have Gabriel in my wedding (though that will be a long time from now). I feel like it just feels natural since she feel's like a part of me. I think it would be cute to make a miniature version of my dress for her.
