wedding ettiquette question
Is there a time limit to when you can have a wedding? (I asked about this a while back, but this is a different situation)
The couple has been living together for several years and they have two kids - ages 3 years and 2 years. They are planning a big white wedding for the fall.
Are they entitled to a big white wedding? Or does it seem kinda unusual?
I realize this may be pretty hypocritical of me to even ask, considering I had my 5 yr old son walk me down the aisle of my own wedding. But in my defense, DH and I had only been dating for a year or so

Re: wedding ettiquette question
i don't think there's ever a time limit for a wedding, especially a first wedding. my DH and I dated for 7 years before we got engaged, and lived together for 3 or 4 of those years. do you think we shouldn't have had a wedding?
every once in a while we have a poll for how long your engagement was, and a good % of us dated for more than 5 years...
i guess i could maybe see a case for a big white wedding for 60 year olds that have been 'dating' for 30+ years, but even then, if they want to pay for a party, who am i to stop them?
Of course, I'm with you. Anyone can have a wedding that wants one.
I don't personally know many couples that bought a house together and had several kids first, then had the big wedding. Nothing wrong with it, I just wondered if it was more common that I thought.

I don't see why they aren't entitled to a wedding. It does not seem unusual to me.
Ditto. It's a bit unusual, but yay for them.
Ditto pp. I even think if they had been married (JP or otherwise) and now have the money/desire to celebrate then that's okay, too.
Ditto. She's such a creep, lol.
