Horrible Wedding Cliches

The idea behind tonight's blog topic comes from one of my favourite TV programmes, How I Met Your Mother. Last night's episode was Something Blue, the last episode of Season 2, where Lily & Marshall got married. Before the wedding they were making a list of horrible wedding cliches that they didn't want on their big day. This reminded me of a similar list that we made before our wedding day. We also had a list of cliche wedding photos that we asked the photographer not to take. 

So here is my list of horrible wedding cliches: 

1. Cheesy disco songs - These got a whole list of their own. We had a firm 'No-playlist' which included the likes of 'Grease Megamix' & 'Oops Upside Your Head'
2. Cheesy disco dances - These often go with the above, and also include 'Agadoo' &  'The Conga'
3. Horrible poses for photos - The linked arms with the champagne glasses, The bride being lifted up and laid across the arms of the groomsmen, The veil being blown out by an invisible wind, and the one where the bride looks like she's going to be snapped in half by the groom tipping her backwards. 
4. Drunk bride 
5. Bride & Groom feeding each other cake
6. Baby Photos of the Bride & Groom projected on the wall 
7. Removal of the Garter by the Groom - There was only one person who removed that garter from my leg and that was me! 
8. Throwing of the bouquet - What a waste of money throwing a £40 bunch of flowers. 
9. Sugared Almonds - Does anyone actually like these?

I'm sure I'll probably think of more later. I would like to apologise to any blog readers who had any of the above at their wedding. It's not my intention to cause offence, I'm just sharing my thoughts.
