No one contributed to my finance's and my relationship, and we really don't have anyone that is truly close enough to us to have be a part of our wedding. Is that wrong?

It's your wedding. You don't have to have a bridal party if you don't want to. Do whatever makes you happy!
Good Luck

Nope, not wrong at all, but in most states you will have to have at least two witnesses. Customarily it is the best man and woman. You just go ahead and have your wedding anyway you want it other than that little technicality. You can always opt for a nice honey-moon and the basic justice of the peace wedding with just you two, and the parent's who will then become the witnesses. It would probably be a good idea since you don't have anyone close to invite anyway.

No way, it's not wrong!!! The key words in that question were "OUR WEDDING". This is a day for the two of you. If you'd like to share it with others by having them as guests, that's wonderful. If not, that's your choice. In most states, though, you do have to have witnesses - but the church or courthouse could provide those. Just realize that there will be at least a few insulted people, because I'm sure others feel they've earned the "right" to be in your wedding.
12 years later, my mom is still pissed that I chose my best friend as maid of honor instead of my NINE YEAR OLD sister. She felt I was wrong - but it was my wedding, and I put my foot down. I had my sister as a "junior bridesmaid" instead.

No, that is not wrong at all... That was kind of the situation I had, but I finally decided on having my mom as my bridesmaid/ matron of honor. I was definitely considering not having one though because the ppl you choose should definitely ppl you consider have helped you. I've been to a couple weddings that haven't had a bridal party either. Besides, it's your wedding, your day and your thoughts! Make it a happy day for your and your hubby to be! Congrats!!!!
(oh and this isn't a grudge like some ppl have said, it's not like you are being nasty or bitter about it)

It's your wedding. Do what you want. There is no real right or wrong way, only personal preference. If you don't want a wedding party, then you are perfectly within your rights not to have one. Hey, look at it this way. You save others from having to purchase or rent special clothing for your wedding. Good luck and congratulations on your upcoming wedding.

No not at all...You can have just the maid of honor and best man. I did years ago...no problem. What you could do is have a little flower girl with a basket throwing rose petals and a little boy ring bearer. They go down isle first, then maid of honor and then the bride with her father. Make a beautiful simple and memorable wedding. Church wedding, beautiful marriage vows; and then a small reception. Hope you have a glorious day

It's your wedding, Your day and your life. Don't pay much attention to the briday party. Once you are married wedding party is just a dream. Go have fun and enjoy without all the hassels. Good Luck

Absolutely not! You can have any kind of wedding you want. If it were me, I would have a simple small family gathering, just your parents, his parents and maybe a best man and maid of honor and thats it. Why spend alot of money on things you won't remember afterwards anyway. Save your money for a down payment on a home or to furnish one. Thats something you will have for a long time. Good Luck!! All you need to get married is love anyway!!

No it is not wrong, it is kinda sad though. We didn't have a party either, so i, the bride, had a little party for myself and my hubby. This was my second wedding and there was no party for my first one either. My family is truly "mean" when it comes to marriage in this family. Marriage is considered a sin in our family so i had to take matters in to my own hands and i think you should do something special for yourself honey. But nothing wrong if you don't. No jinx or anything like that. ; )

A bridal shower is just that. A shower for the bride. It is to celebrate you and your upcoming marriage. If you want a shower whether or not they contributed in the past maybe they might contribute now. If you just don't want a shower because you don't want one or don't like them then don't. Dont let anyone guilt you into it. Its completely your choice as the bride.
