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.
Man...

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.Tipsy McStagger wrote: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).

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

I've taken the edge off so many times, I'm round!

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.the_grey_goose wrote:I think he'd approve of the 4-inch cross on me forearm, though.Thee Totaller wrote:I disapprove of tattoos.

AHLL BE BOCK
Well, I'd get hitched in Vegas anyways. But I'd still cover the ink.Rooster wrote: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.
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.
