We are getting married August 30, 2008. My fiance wants to have the wedding in jeans and a t-shirt. I am used to the traditional wedding. Has anyone heard of a wedding ceremony in jeans and t-shirts?

There are all sorts of ways to have a wedding and make it memorable, though I have never heard of a real wedding ceremony in simply jeans and t-shirts. Though it certainly isn't impossible to imagine, if it's not the type of ceremony you're looking for consider talking to your fiance about it and try for a compromise.

There are so many different ideas people have for weddings and wedding attire. There's nothing wrong with jeans and a t-shirt. but maybe there's something behind it. I wonder why your fiance wants it that way. Maybe worried about money to pay for an expensive wedding??
I am personally getting married in a sun dress and my future husband in khaki shorts and a nice shirt. We are going pretty casual. There's nothing wrong with it. Just remember that its not what you wear or where you have the wedding, its about your love and commitment to each other.

I havent exactly seen that, but a friend of mine had a casual garden wedding. She still wore a wedding dress and carried a bouquet and even wore a tiara. Her daughter and son walked her down the aisle. Her fiance wore jeans and plain white shirt and a jacket. Neither had any attendants and it was one of the most memorable weddings I've been to and one of the funnest. Even if he didnt want the jacket he could still wear jeans and a nice collarless shirt. It doesnt mean you have to give up anything for the wedding, it just means he'll be more comfortable and that is what you want for him.

I have done Weddings where the bride and groom were in their bathing suits at the lake! You can be married in any type clothing, most brides have the "last say" in this matter. I suggest that you find an middle.....which can be hard. If your fiance is more comfortabe in jeans...and everyone knows it...why not wear your dress and he in jeans! This day and age, everything is new. Most traditions are just that, a guide line. :o)

I am a Widow who is about to get married again (13 years after the death of my first husband.) My deceased and I were wed in bathing suits on the beach in Florida...A white G-string bikini and a black Speedo...that's a bit under dressed. My soon to be and I will be doing the traditional wedding without all the fluff. The attire is formal, but not stuffy. I think it really depends on the individual. I have heard of jeans boots and BBQ as well as cross dressed ceremonies...these days you can pretty much wear whatever you like. T-shirts that say Bride (White or black with Pink lettering) and Groom (white or black with opposite lettering) are available at the Card and Party Store. Best wishes to you...

I've heard of it, a lot. Usually this type of wedding attire is worn by people who aren't into the whole "wedding planning" thing. They see the marriage as more than the ceremony itself, and don't see spending $1,000 or even hundreds on a dress they'll only wear one single time.
If she won't go formal, she can at least go semi-formal, and wear a nice dress of some type. Even if its an inexpensive one...they have nice ones she can wear everywhere.

Does she really want jeans and t-shirts or is she just trying to make your wedding as simple as possible? A "traditional" wedding takes alot of time, energy, and money. Sounds to me like she doesn't want fuss, just to be your wife. I have a great idea. Compromise. (Get used to that, while you're at it.) Have a normal, formal ceremony at your church. Everyone changes into casual for a picnic or barbecue. Something different, which may be just what she's looking for.

I've heard of that. Loads of people just go to the justice of the peace in whatever they felt like putting on that day. At our civil ceremony, he wore jeans and a polo shirt, and I wore a sundress. Do whatever makes you happy. I suppose jeans would look strange in a formal setting (church with flowers), but I'm guessing that's not the case here.

You know, she just may want to be comfortable and not want her guests to have to spend money on dressy clothes. If you WANT a traditional wedding, that is fine. However if you are just used to the traditional wedding then stop and think about how you feel about a jeans and tee wedding.

You could always wear a tux T-shirt and some really nice levi's with her wereing a hot white corset tank and some bad as# levis too? Casual is fun ? Both of ya can have dress up for a few at the reception. Trust me, no one likes tuxes and gowns after 2 hours. Smart girl, marry happy and party all night long comfortable.
