no one has posted a blog on weddings and i am so interested to know from all of you, why? i love weddings... (I'm currently in the process of trying to crash a former friend of mine's very soon... no no no just kidding!) Anywhoo, what are some tradtions from past generations from your famlies and even tradtitons of today? I'll start with mine...

Well, my family is from Guyana, South America. When ANYONE gets married, its usually nothing small... I mean COUSINSSSSS come out of the woodwork, people you haven't seen in ages. Well, the nights before a wedding (an even a funeral) for us is no small matter. There is food at the bride's house, food and did i mention food? We also have this thing called Kweh Kweh which is kinda like a bachelorette (w/o the dancers... ahem)... check the video...


this one was a band that the family may have hired to do folk songs...

But anyway, the wedding cannot be small. Its just not humanly possible. Really its not. Anyway, the ceremony is done accoding to religion... The reception... that's crazy...I've always been used to late afternoon weddings and after 8:00 pm receptions.... they usually don't end till 2, 3 am the next day... Mind you this is the reason Im looking to get married... not for no man... lol jk ok he has something to do with it... but please share your wedding experiences, traditions and so forth... im a sucker for a wedding!!!
