I never thought of it as being “accomodating” for FI. I just always thought that the wedding is about the two of us, so it should reflect both of us, not just me, right? That’s just my thinking, though.

However, that said, I think FI has been brainwashed with the mindset that weddings are about the bride only, so any FI related details have been added by me I’m incorporating his fave baseball team (the A’s) in some clever ways even though I’m a Giants fan. I know he’ll love it. Now I’m debating on some Trekkie stuff. I’m so not a Star Trek fan, but FI is the most unexpected Trekkie you’d ever see!

i’m definitely not “accommodating” my FI on one thing… he wants to wear a tuxedo rashguard and boardshorts to our wedding;) and my father wants to “surf” me down the aisle! i guess you could say i was accommodating our families by turning our wedding into a surf vacation w/ a wedding thrown in! i completely agree with the other posts. this wedding is about “us” not “me”. there are subtle hints of both of us throughout. right down to our “surfer cake toppers”. btw, i don’t surf;)

I gave in 50/50 with our favors and we did clear plastic bags with strawberry twizzlers(his fav) in them tied with a cute black ribbon. I thought it looked TOO homemade but they were a huge hit.

The only thing that my fiance wants to include that I don’t really want to accommodate (but I’m going to anyway!) is one heavy metal song after the dancing has started. He loves metal music - God knows why. He understand that it’s not really appropriate music to dance to at a wedding so he’s not going to insist on lots of it, but wants just one song, and he says he’ll pick a tame one that most people will recognize. I’m rooting for AC/DC and hoping he won’t play Pantera!

We’ve been uanble to reach a consensus about our first dance song. I had several romantic songs in mind including ones by Norah Jones and U2… but he vetoed them.

He wants to use The Rainbow Connection - the Kermit the Frog version. I agree that it’s a pretty song (with meaning for us), but tried in vain to persuade him that the Sarah McLachlan version is a little more mature and less likely to be laughed at by our audience. No dice. He detests Sarah M.

I might have to let him win this one just so I can cross it off my list. At least it’s not Morrissey or Magnetic Fields or anything else completely esoteric.

we will have the “Domo Aligato Mr. Roboto” song played at our reception because it is a tradition for my fiance to do the robot at other people’s weddings… so it would only make sense he got to do it at his own!

Although I’m not engaged, I know that I’m going to have a big screen set up with video games for my bf and his pals.
We were discussing weddings one day and I said “I just want to have a nice day, where we slow dance” and he said something along the lines of… “I’ll just do what you want and show up, and fake it”. I also said I want to feel like a princess & being a Super Mario Bros. fan he said “Cant I just put you in a castle with a turtle, run in, stomp the turtle and rescue you?” LMAO!
I’m glad to read that most brides are “accomodating” their men!

Our wedding will be about us, and I want to have his say on pretty much everything. I don’t want to choose everything…because he’ll just be miserable. I think our wedding could be a bit on the eccentric side, as we both are…but that’s okay!

D, there’s also a Jason Mraz version of “Rainbow Connection” that is just lovely!
