I'm having a debate with someone about tattoos and whether or not you'd conceal them on your wedding day.

My view: If I knew my Mum wanted me to for the photos, yes. (Which I know she would.) So...yes, yes.

Their view: My wedding is about me, and I'm not hiding myself for anyone. I'm proud of my ink, blah, blah, blah...

Listen chicky, I love my ink too, but I love my family more. They know I have them, I know I have them, the guests know I have them. But the photos won't.

Sometimes things just aren't 'all about you'. Y'know?

And the whole 'selling-out' vibe that was coming at me...gimme a break.

Love you mother and do for her before you do for you, ya selfish wench. I've made my Mum miserable in the past, and for even one of those times I upset her I owe it to her to put a smile on her face. My Dad wouldn't care, he's all chillin' with whatever.

Don't make a big deal out of it. And selling out..wtf? How high school...what's next? A punk pop quiz? Go buy another wallet chain at Hot Topic.

I was wondering where I could get a new wallet chain.

Your wedding is only about 2 people, You and the person you're marrying.

The wedding photos? Ummm, they're yours too.

Of course, if you follow this theory, you'll be footing the bill on your own (the way I did).

Yeah, another good point. You see I wouldn't be paying for all of it. So to have them pay then tell 'em where to go...just seems a bit uncalled for.

I disagree, if that was the case, then don't invite anyone, and why even get married? It is supposed to be a celebration and confirmation of your love AND a joining together of two families. After all, I have a bunch of inlaws, who are, for better or for worse, part of my family now (and so does my wife). So it isn't all about the couple, it's a day for the families too, espescially the parents, whether they pay or not. Just sayin'...

I think he'd approve of the 4-inch cross on me forearm, though.

Tattoos should only be visible if your dress is made of leather, or if the person performing the ceremony is wearing a Fat Elvis costume.

Otherwise you might as well have the groom dress in a wifebeater (the pun!) and both of you carry half-drinked sixpacks of PBR by the plastic rings to the altar.

well you don't know that, Goose. What if He don't? And what's more, what if you become a fugitive through circumstances not of your making (and what Drunkard is unfamiliar with THOSE?) the frigging all points bulletin ALWAYS says "suspect has a 4 inch cross on the forearm". In a word, you're fucked.

Well, I'd get hitched in Vegas anyways. But I'd still cover the ink.

I don't see how tattoos are trashy though, as you imply. I just think certain days call for certain looks.

I always got a kick out of the list of tattoos they'd have to read off if I was ever on America's Most Wanted/Crime Stoppers or something. It'd be a longer ad. LOL
