It interested me to ask and know how old everybody was when they

1. were married- age & what year
2. were involved in a wedding- brides mads, best man etc.
3. or were in a wedding- as in, invited to the wedding as a friend, family member or mentor/important person etc. of the bride or groom, or their family....

you can answer one or all of the above...which ever is fine, but I get really curious about topics such as these..

i am 20 and haven't been married yet ;) & not even close to being married, I need a girlfriend at the moment first :lol: but I do hope I find tha special lady forever someday...

and i was first invited & in a wedding, probably in 1998/1999 when my Uncle Rick and Aunt Lisa got married..my Aunt remarrying too....but family was obviously invited and I was 10-11 at the time I'd say. It was fun :). And my parents wed in 1986, two years before I was born so obviously I couldn't of attended or went to theirs since I was born in '88.

And finally, the first and only time I was actually apart of a wedding, besides being invited to the day, was in 2001 when my Uncle Chris and his bride Sue, got married. I was set up and arranged to be the ring bearer but I never carried a ring on a pillow, or the ring in general :lol:. I was just assigned to be in the wedding and sat at the main table at the reception, so they assigned me that lol...

What about you....? Feel free to share some stories and events, or when all of these evens happened in your life or family/friends of yours, lives..:).

married: never, future cat lady here. was semi-engaged at 17 and part of me is still heartbroken, but it just didn't happen.

involved in a wedding: well, when i was 18 my ex's imbecile of a fiancee had the ingenious idea of me being her bridesmaid, which of course i rejected and am still relentlessly making fun of her for. but no, i've never actually ended up being in one.

invited to a wedding: i was invited to a friend's wedding when i was 18 and i went to it. (not the same couple as the one mentioned above of course, lol)

married: never, future cat lady here.


:brent oh god sarah you crack me up- LOL. but i'm right there with ya; I plan that I'm not getting married until I'm 45 and decrepit :lol:. Joking but it still might happen realistically- lol.

:( i'm sorry- that really sucks...but I feel for you.

The only wedding I've ever been invited to, and went to, was my brother's back in July of 2006. I wasn't a best man or anything, because my brother knew I'd probably be too nervous standing up there in front of over 100 people in 95 degree weather. (Good call on my brother's part) lol! I did however walk my mom down the aisle, as she lit a candle representing my brother, before taking my seat. The wedding was actually pretty cool, and was traditional for the most part, except for the end. As the bride and groom said their I do's, instead of the traditional wedding song being played, the theme to star wars began to play, (My bro's a huge Star Wars fanatic), as my bro and step-sister made their way to the hummer that awaited them. :lol: I hadn't known that that was going to happen, and so I bursted out laughing when I heard it. lol! Unfortunately though, their marriage didn't last, as they are currently separated, and in the process of getting divorced.

I've never been involved in or invited to any weddings. Someday I will be, I suppose, but so far, not yet.

I Married in 2002 I was 21 (was about to turn 22)

When I was 5 I was a flower girl in my aunts wedding. When I was 18 I was a bridesmaid in my cousins wedding. This coming July I will be the Maid of honor in my friends wedding.

wow congrats!

I'm a sad sack, never been married, but have been engaged a couple times. I guess I'm just not the marrying type. I'm too independent. Sorry to say, but I'm picky, too. I would need to find somebody that either likes to go to rock concerts & travel, too, or would allow me to continue to do that.

I've never been part of a wedding. Even sadder!!

I don't remember the 1st wedding I was invited to but I've been to weddings of my cousin's and 2 of my sister's friends.

That is so cool!! I love when people break away from tradition. I was thinking that if(or when) I ever get married, having a theme, maybe Halloween, since I love that. I was also thinking a Christmas theme but that's usually a crazy time for alot of people. Halloween would work better.:D

Married- I got married in 1992, but it only lasted a few hours. I was 5, he was 6 and he went home to his mom, leaving me all alone :rolleyes: ;)

In Weddings- I've been in 2 weddings, I was a flower girl in my cousin's wedding when I was 7 and a bridesmaid in my aunt's wedding when I was 12.

Been to- I've been to 3 weddings I was invited to, all friends of the family.

Yeah that must of been tough...but good judgement by your brother

:brent :rofl: :rofl: That's interesting, and awesome Brad- but it's pretty funny lol. Your brother seems unique and that is interesting; I've never heard of that but I can picture you their cracking up randomly :lol:. May the force be with you, I now pronounce you- Luke and Leah....cough cough I mean...I now pronounce you mr. and mrs. so and so- LOL :rofl: :rofl:.

And that sucks about them separating & divorcing...my Uncle Chris & Sue separated 2 WEEKS after they got married- lol. It was horrible. What happened was, he wanted kids so bad as he was getting older and older, and she wanted a big, blowout wedding with family and friends their. He fulfilled to have the wedding, if they could have kids, but she never fulfilled what he wants & didn't hold up the other end of the bargain, if you will...

And my Aunt Lisa & Uncle Rick are still [happily] married, and have a kid named Matthew, my cousin obviously :).

Married: Yes, been married since Feb. 2004, I was 22 turning 23.

Been in two weddings, first one was my grandma's wedding and I was the flower girl, then my Aunt's wedding I was a brides maid.

Been invited to numerous weddings, although I always find a way to get outta them.

:lol: Don't we all try to??- lol

I have never married


Never been part of a wedding


I went to my first wedding when I was 17. A friend of my mom was getting married, and in fact my mom was the main lady(maid of honor is that what its called?????), and my uncle was the best man.

I have never been married.

I was a candle lighter at my Brother and Sister-in-laws wedding in 1974 when I was 9. (they just celebrated their 35th anniversary this week!) I was also a candle lighter at my Sister and Brother-in-law's wedding in 1982 when I was 17. And I was an usher at my other Sister and Brother-in-law's wedding in 1989 when I was 24.

As far as attending weddings I have attended the weddings of numerous cousins as well as of several friends. I also attended my Uncle's second wedding when he remarried after my aunt died.

I was 19 when I got married.

I was a bridesmaid for my best friend's wedding, had to wear a long dark peach dress with big puffy sleeves. I was also in my cousin's wedding, stuck at the refreshment table serving the punch. I'm so glad I didn't have to slice & serve that big giant cake. lol!

I've been to many weddings over the years, the last one was for my husband's neice. She had a huge formal wedding that cost a bundle & then within 3 years time they got divorced. Her dad (my husband's brother) said he wasn't paying for another one.

I am presently on my second marriage.

My first marriage, I was 22, married in 1982. That marriage lasted six months.

My second (and current) marriage, I was 42, married in 2002. My husband and I just celebrated our 7th anniversary this past Monday (May 4).

I stood up for my sister's wedding (as maid of honor) when I was 16, and watched my brother get married when I was 21.

1. were married- age & what year
2. were involved in a wedding- brides mads, best man etc.
3. or were in a wedding- as in, invited to the wedding as a friend, family member or mentor/important person etc. of the bride or groom, or their family....



1. No thank you. I strongly do not believe in marriage.

2. I was a flower girl when I was...3 maybe. Then I was something in my uncle's wedding in 84...don't remember what though.

3. I've been to a few. Honestly, I hate weddings. Especially the meet and greet with the bride and groom at the reception.

Yeah, I don't know how you feel but I think the reception makes up for it - free food, free drink, bad dancing, the wedding cake, especially if the icing is made of butter cream!!:liplick::rock:

Okay, I've never been married... yet! :D

I've never been actually involved in a wedding (gee, this is getting pathetic!).

I've only been to 3 weddings. My step-cousin's when I was 2 years old (which I still have memories of her smiling at me as she passed me walking down the aisle), it did not last, unfortunately... or fortunately (long story).:(
Second was my cousin's wedding in 2005, which was okay... but I was going through a hard time in the love department at that time, so it was kind of depressing... they just had their first baby a few weeks ago. ;) The third wedding was that of a friend last August, the whole thing was in Spanish... and I couldn't understand a word... but it was the most touching event of the three. :crazy: :lol: They are an awesome couple.

I've never been to a reception that was like that. :(

1- Married in 1996 at age 28

2- In July my mom is getting married and I am in the wedding. Before that was in 2000 when I was "in charge" of the gift table at a former friend's wedding. Sadly, she and I are no longer speaking to each other, but that's a long story. Actually, it's not really sad. It was long overdue that we parted ways.

3-That same wedding in 2000 was the last one I was invited to, but I can also count this one coming up in July.

Never been married but a very cute girl whom I still care a lot about wanted to marry me when I was 19.

Never been to a wedding, My 3 brothers all married and I wasn't asked to be a part of any of their weddings so I politely declined when asked to attend.

That is so cool!! I love when people break away from tradition. I was thinking that if(or when) I ever get married, having a theme, maybe Halloween, since I love that. I was also thinking a Christmas theme but that's usually a crazy time for alot of people. Halloween would work better.:D

Oh, I forgot to mention. Their wedding cake had Hans Solo, and Princess Laya on the top, instead of a traditional wedding topper. :lol:

I agree with you though, themed weddings are pretty cool. I know some people are only for traditional and everything, but I like it when a couple goes out on a limb, and does something different. It gives you a chance to see their true personalities.

That's really weird that none of your 3 brothers at least asked you to be apart, as in, invited to the wedding....i would take that as a insult....especially if my own brother or family didn't invite me..

Oh my! :eek: :lol: Very cool... and a bit strange.
I agree too, Brad... even though themed weddings aren't really my thing, I think it's cool when people decide to run with something they feel really passionate about. :)

I agree as well...pretty interesting but funny- :lol: lol. Hans Solo and Princess Leah on the wedding cake- that's awesome but a hoot :lol:. But sounds like they had a fun wedding too.

Yeah, despite the heat, and the overwhelming amount of people, I'd say it was a pretty cool first wedding experience for me. You can always count on my brother to come up with something different, and a little whacky. :lol: ;)

I have never been married, 19 and have never had a boyfriend. I'm blooming extremely late, I think.

Never been in a wedding and I've went to a few of my cousins when my mom went. I don't like weddings. A female cousin of mine is getting married in a reception hall so that when she comes down the aisle she sees the open bar and feels good about why she came.:lol:

Oh wow, how cool is that? I'm surprised that Darth Vadar or a stormtrooper didn't perform the ceremony!!:lol:

And kudos to the bride for agreeing to all this!!;)

I was married in 1968 when I was 18 years old.

We had a very small wedding with the reception in the church basement. It was lovely!:)
