Your Dolls in Your Wedding??

it is good idea

 

My boy would actually probably allow Doven, were he in proper dress and just sitting at the table of course. The rest are a big no, he knows who my favorite is and makes exceptions for him. His mother would probably frown upon it and blah blah blah but she can bite me. It's a doll, sitting on a table. As it's been said people have bride and groom bears all the time. My sister had some sitting in an ice sculpture of a car (big car family) then moved to be by her cake then at her table.
So one MSD at the table would be pretty much the same. Most of my family also knows how to handle dolls, bag them up and what not so I wouldn't be too worried about him being taken care of.

 

I'm pretty sure my wedding will be more about my mom than about me, and she's super-traditional and whatnot... and not terribly fond of her daughter having such a "childish" hobby as dolls. So, while I think it might be a nice idea... I doubt I could ever get away with having my dolls at my wedding. ^^;

 

As Catwalk said, whatever floats your boat. Personally, to me, it's silly to have a hobby - no matter how "into it" you are, or how much time you spend working on your dolls - govern nearly all of your personal/social/romantic life. But that's just my opinion.

 

I recently married but we haven't had a proper ceremony yet due to things going on with moving. When we get settled in our new home we will have a ceremony, and I sure will have my doll there. I think it would be pretty neat to have her there with us. She's probably going to be the closest thing we'll ever have to a daughter, so...

 

Maybe it's a location thing, but most people I know tend to tone things down for their weddings. They might be a huge NASCAR fan, but the only NASCAR thing at the wedding is the groom's cake. IMHO I think this is done to benefit the people going to the ceremony, not the people the ceremony is about.

Flip the table for a minute. Pretend you absolutely hate dolls. You have a doll-obsessed friend who's getting married. She's throwing a huge, doll-themed wedding. Everybody attending will bring a least 1 doll, all dressed up for the occasion. Would you feel comfortable in such a setting? Would you even go?

Disclaimer: I love funky weddings. They don't happen here very often.

 

I'm going to give this thread a little bump because my boyfriend and I are getting married in June and I am seriously thinking about bringing my Bobobie Mei along ^-^

 

I am all for dolls at the wedding! I you like dolls, and it's your wedding and you want your Mei there - bring her! Dress her to match the bridesmaids, and let her sit somewhere as a lovely decoration. It's not so very far away from wedding topper to dolls anyway! (and actually, I had two hand dressed porcelain dolls for a topper)

 

well if I ever get married I might include my dolls in my wedding in some way. I don't have a lot of family or friends and to me my dolls mean more too me. A few years ago I would have had my pets at my wedding, I know they are alive and dolls are not alive in that sense (although I believe they have a soul) but they are all a part of my family regardless.

 

Personal preference but i wouldnt take a doll to a wedding or anything of the sort. There are just some things you dont bring your hobby in to.

 

I don't really plan to get married, and I'm not the type for too big celebrations... but I love pretty decorations ^^ . If I did get married, and still had my dolls around (seems like such a thing would be pretty far away) , I think I'd definitely want them at the wedding. It doesn't seem 'obsessive' to me because I feel like BJDs would be great for the occasion! They're meant to be aesthetically pleasing, and weddings are all about visual extravagance. I'd think 'what a perfect occasion to theme-dress them' XD .

I'd get Dawn in an extravagant wedding dress, either western white gown or a traditional Korean marriage outfit. And (hopefully I'd have the rest of the dolls I plan to by then) Dusk in a tux, and all that sort of thing X3 . They'd be like a display or decorative, maybe where presents are supposed to be or something like that, inside a glass/plastic case like lots of sculpture/special dolls are show-cased. Cooler than a swan ice sculpture (though swan ice sculptures are pretty cool too) ! I'd be a bit worried that some people might be freaked out, but I don't think I'd want a lot of people (especially ones I don't know) , so eh, screw it; my wedding, my ambiance.

This cracks me up, I can totally picture someone doing that.

I don't think I'll take my dolls to my wedding (whenever that might be...) for most of the reasons mentioned already, I wouldn't have time to pay attention to them and make sure they're still safe or even there. I still think its a cute idea though, kudos to anyone who actually does bring their dolls along.

 

I would love my dollies to be present at my wedding, granted that my boyfriend can has his warhammer on the cake or something
I'm not religious in any way, and I really don't see anything against it besides the attention problem. I would need dolly sitters.
I would love one of my cats to bring the rings though D: If only my dolls could walk

 

I have heard of this and find it quite charming, actually. Those pictures are lovely! I have heard of someone in the miniature hobby who had a dollhouse replica of their home at the reception, which was neat. I think having the dolls at the reception near the cake or present table, would be neat. Maybe even some neat pictures if their gowns or tuxes matched the bridal party..I am married, and have been, but at the time I planned my wedding, I wasn't into bjd's or dolls as I am now....and I & my husband planned the whole wedding & the reception which was a lot of work..so just have someone to keep an eye on your doll to make sure they are safe on your special day...

 

i don't plan on getting married anytime soon, but if i did include my dolls, they would definitely have to wear something that matches the theme! i'd die of cute if my girl and guy dressed exactly like me and my (imaginary) husband/wife. i'd also consult him/her and see if they were comfortable with it, or if they'd rather not have my girl and boy there.

i think it's an especially cute idea if it's a rather casual wedding and your doll is near someone you can trust. prop 'em up by the cake! have them sit on a table! then again, i'm a pretty laid-back person, so...

 

Uh. =u= weddings are for PEOPLE. imho. I'd probably have cracked if I brought my dolls to any wedding, even if it was mine.

I should hope that the first thoughts in my head during my wedding will be about me and my future hubby. Not me, my hubby, and my dolls. lol 8U Dolls would be the farrrrrthest thing from my mind.

EDIT::

I'm sorry, but shouldn't your first priority be your CHILD?!?! I'm a little shocked to hear that the thought of dolls would precede a breathing, living, miracle coming out of you.

 

I think it'd be really cute to have your girls dressed up like the bridesmaids. If I am so fortunate as to get married, I'd like to have perhaps three or four of my dolls, but only at the actual ceremony, not the reception. I'd be afraid that they'd get hurt! I liked the idea of having tinies as wedding cake toppers, but that would be expensive! But REALLY CUTE~!

 

My SO and I have been happily unmarried for nearly 19 years, so it's unlikely that we'll ever formalize things. If we do, however, the dolls will no doubt be dressed in their best outfits to preside over some table or another, just like they preside over the information table at our art openings.

 

Not to rain on the parade, I have seen people have complete meltdowns over napkins and socks. Talk to married friends about wedding nightmares. Weddings can very stressful in the best of situations.

Do I think dolls should be in weddings? As long both of you are on the same page. People get married parachuting, scuba diving, on horses etc. BJD's could be a wonderful addition to a wedding!

 

So let me get this straight. When it comes to weddings, some "normal", "non-obsessive" behaviors include things like:

-Subscribing to a two-inch-thick bridal magazine for 12 months, in order to plan a 1-day event
-Getting a temporary Xanax prescription for a one-day event
-Paying somebody $40,000 to plan the one-day event for you
-Spending $20,000 on a single dress
-Having your stomach stapled, your skin spraytanned brownish-orange, and your armpits Botoxed in preparation for wearing the dress
-Encouraging two adults to shove cake into each other's faces in front of a photographer
-Week-long crying jags because the future mother-in-law has insisted on gourds in the flower arrangements
-Hiring live swans to swim in a moat you've just dug in your backyard
-Bursting into tears over the particular shade of pink that the swans have been dyed
-Making your friends all wear matching metallic-teal taffeta bridesmaids dresses with matching parasols
-Suing in court for $50,000 damages because the photographer didn't fully capture the true shade of metallic-teal of the bridesmaids' dresses
-Getting divorced 18 months later while the bills are still coming in

Uh-huh. Right. .... I call bullshit.

Next to all that so-called "normal" crap, having the bride & groom bring their favorite hobbies into their wedding ceremony is absolutely stark-raving SANE.
