CONGRATULATIONS! I dont think vows are necessary if you dont want them, Im not sure about the handfasting... i havent looked into it before but im sure you can find something! There are plenty of water-connections to that sort of thing so ill bet you can find something :)

Im so excited for you! Im a wedding NUT!
I don't think vows are mandatory at all, you should pick something that really speaks to both your hearts. Check out LoveLocking padlocks or handfasting. Both can be really cool.

haha thankyou both :)
I'm doing all this myself.....you need to talk to whoever is conducting your ceremony. I don't know how it is in canada, but there is soooo much more stuff than I thought there would be for over here.
Also in some instances you can get your celebrant/reverend/priest (whoever you choose) to say most of it (I'm a talker, so i'm not opting for that)
But your vows to each other can be really short. and then it's just a case of piping up to say "I do" and you're done.
As far as handfasting goes.....you can make your own cords in blue, and even tie little charms into it if you wish
(this one has nice beads in the ends)

update:
My in-laws are very adamant about having a traditional chinese tea ceremony.
so the plans for the day go like this:
the groom picks me up from my house (i'm fully dressed, hair makeup and everything) to go to his place for the tea ceremony in the morning. (and i MUST wear traditional red chinese/vietnamese wedding garments.. so i technically have to wear 2 dresses. )
then i drive back to my house, change into my white dress, and we drive to lakeshore for wedding photos. afterwards at 3, we drive to the venue to get ready for the actual ceremony and reception.
Updated details: I ordered my hair pieces and gifts from Traci Hines (aka the hipster ariel), my flower girl will be a BUBBLE girl xD, and i am in the middle of finding an officiant and a printer to print invitations,seating chart,table numbers, and menu.
photos to come later~~

It's YOUR wedding Andrea! If you don't want all their relatives, tell them they can only have a few so some of YOUR friends can be there. Also on the whole pork thing. You can tell them to deal. If you can't eat pork, then you should have to be forced to have it at YOUR wedding! This isn't about them, it's about YOU and YOUR partner!

Hmm... your friends need to come. Period. That should be the end of story, and your future in-laws should respect that. However they adjust their plans to accommodate that requirement is up to them.
As for the pork, I can understand your reticence to include it at your wedding, and I have never been married, but I haven't noticed what brides and grooms at the weddings I've attended have eaten... or how much. In the gown, I'm not sure I've ever seen a bride chowing down everything in sight (though I could understand being ravenously hungry after the ordeal of the wedding and the preparation for it). Is it possible to have the pork as an option for those guests who want it, perhaps in a buffet style, so you don't have to have it... and to have your future in-laws pay for it, since it is so important to them that pork be on the menu? I admit, I'm not sure of your views on pork, or how much you can tolerate it.
The tea ceremony could be fun, I thought, though I admit it's a lot to go through on the same day, particularly with the second dress.

Your wedding, your day, your rules. Talk to them and make a compromise but make sure you don't back down. give them a set number of people they're limited to and then it's up to them who they choose for that. You must have your friends there. There's no way they can't be there.
And if you want a small intimate ceremony... then have a small intimate ceremony! Talk to them with the help of your partner and make it clear that as a couple, you don't want that many people there. You could suggest having a big family gathering/feast shortly after the wedding day that everyone can come to?
It's a bit drastic but you could always make the point of saying 'well we could just not invite anyone beyond two random people off the street to be witnesses.... or there's always vegas..' to make the point that it's your day and YOU are the one inviting people NOT them.
Everyone in this needs to be understanding of that, and respectful of each other. Weddings shouldn't be a battle - it's just one day after all - but it should be a reflection of you and your partner. If family is important to you partner - that's great! But your friends are important to you - which is also great!
Usually the fairest way I've seen people deal with this is to split the guest list in two with a numbered spreadsheet for each side. You fill in your side as much as you want, and any spare 'places' can be offered to your partner's family to invite a few extra guests. And the beauty of that is you can limit the guests as much or as little as you want. Also make sure that your friends don't get shunned off to one side or at the very back - keep things mixed and get both groups to integrate =)
'Tis the first day of the rest of your lives... there's a whole lot more to come after this one day =) xx

Joy, I can't digest pork. That's the main reason. Also the bride and groom have to eat haha. Any of the weddings I've gone to (minus the Vietnamese and Chinese weddings I've gone to) thy make them eat. It's a little cruel to not allow them to eat especially since they're the ones dishin out the money for their big day haha.
And yes everyone I know "it's my big day" but it's also my husbands day, and it's bout the union of two families. They've already decided that they'll pay for the extra guests (tables food invites) but... It a complicated situation im in. In short they want cheap Chinese food because they're inviting their side. Which includes a lot of seafood an my friends have shellfish allergies..
So we've already argued that we're gonna keep the venue and the food, and then they were complaining about the date of the wedding "how it's not a lucky day and how we mUST let them pick a lucky date based on our birthdays and names"
seriously. I think I really am just gonna get married in Vegas :| but now my parents know how crazy they are and are stepping in To talk to them since they won't listen to us. (so far they've been the only ones supporting our decision to have a wedding ceremony outside of our traditional Asian culture)
Did I mention they also complained about how there's no red anywhere? Seriously I'm not about to bathe te whole venue in red an have cheap Chinese food. It'll look like I'm in a cheap Chinese banquet hall in china town. Not to mention it'll lok like I murdered some dolphins and the blood spread everywhere.
Like right now it seems like a petty thing and I honestly think I'm going bridezilla over something so stupid , but this is only gonna be my first and I want it to be my last. I don't want to look back and think about how horrible the big day was.

:D Hey Congratultions! I'm approaching my first anniversary, here on the 29th. It's going to be a lot of stress, and you're likely to worry about details that really won't matter in the long run. Just try and find the happy medium between the two families. If his family wants there to be pork/seafood, but you want something else, offer a split menu, or make it self-serve buffet style if you must. As for the red, maybe you can accent with the reds, but not go overboard?
When I got married, there was a lot of conflicting interests but, thankfully, we were able to find the middle-ground and I sailed right through my wedding with not a care in the world about things going wrong, or food not being right, or colors/interests clashing. :3
Just take big, deep breaths and remind yourself throughout the process that: Sure, the wedding day is important, but you aren't going to fret about every detail not being exactly perfect, or things like that. You'll remember butterflies before taking the steps down the aisle, and seeing your hubby-to-be's face as he sees how stunning you'll look in your dress, and delicious cake, fun dancing, etc.
For example: When my husband and I got married, my friend was our cake decorator and she had to bring the cake over to the church in pieces and assemble/decorate it there before the service. She slaved over it in order to make it just perfect before she even came back to the dressing room and got ready. Then, someone (we don't know who) bumped the table it was on and knocked a huge slab right off the top tier. Splat, right onto the table. She was really upset over it, because she thought the whole thing was ruined and that we were going to be upset. We didn't care. It was the union of Rob and I, not the eating of some cake. :>
thanks guys :D

That sounds like a lot of running around. But very nice that you're honoring an old tradition.
also.. the inlaws want to invite ALL THEIR RELATIVES... leaving no room for my friends :| in Total its about 200-300 people... i wanted a small intimate wedding ;__; and theyre also griping about the food.. how there MUST be pork... but i cant eat pork wtf ..
This is where you can offer the compromise. My mothers side of the family is half Chinese, I have never actually seen a small and intimate asian wedding (I think they take the joining of 2 families too seriously and that's why they go back to great great aunt who is three times removed).
But they want and can have the tradition of the tea ceremony, if they invite less people. limit how much family it is.
Their brother and sisters I can understand, if you want to you can eliminate children by saying its a kid free wedding.
You should be able to invite your friends and unless they are paying for the whole wedding, they have little to no say in who actually gets invited.
as for the pork thing, you can say yes you can have pork but we'll also do chicken and beef or something like that. it gives you variety, you can still eat, and your in-laws dont hate you right off the bat
SeaGlass Siren

Well i took your advices! Keep calm and cool and collected. And compromised.
we've come to a good compromise. And we got a pretty good deal with the representative of the banquet hall since he felt bad for us and the whole in law thing.
He included a steak medallion free of charge instead of pork dishes and the inlaws agreed to that. In laws send out red envelopes to their guest and I will send out themed cards for our Friends ad my guests. Since we also have a ton of people now, we've actually upgraded to a bigger room that has a rock-window water fall!!!
Okok not bad so far. Now all we need to do now is to meet the decorator and dj again to let them know of updated floor plans.

AAHHH!! Congratulations!!! *bubble hugs and smooches* I LOVE when people get married! Weddings are beautiful!
So, They want you to have red and seafood everywhere?
LOL
Maybe acquiesce in little ways that won't mess up your flow? Like, I love seaweed. It is seriously my favorite snack in the whole wide world. I could eat seaweed and rice all day long.
And there are many lovely animals and plants and things in the ocean that have red in them. You wouldn't have to go overboard. Red, in Irish culture, keeps the Faeries from kidnapping you, which is why my son has a red blanket. Maybe red in the handfasting cord? Symbolizing the eternal (and internal) fire of your love? ;)
Or red shoes. Another gaelic tradition is that the brides feet never leave the floor together because the faeries might carry her away. XD I'm chalk-full of clever wedding ideas. mine was cheap and easy, as well as beautiful.

Wow, I'm so sorry it so long to reply. We were actually married in a room inside the temple. The "culteral hall" as it's called by Utahns was just for the reception. Cheap, nearby, easy to decorate. The important part was in the temple, the gym was just for those who couldn't witness the sealing. It's a very sacred, holy ceremony, so only people who have certain prerequisites can actually attend.

fyi it wasnt all perfect tho. that cake is actually a fake. i was supposed to have a seashellcake but my baker mixed out my wedding date and thought it was the week after.. :\ so the in house baker allowed us to use their display cakes for photos and she baked us cupcakes for the dessert table. that was 1 of 3 upsets but other than that everything else was fine. :P

Oh my lord this is amazing. Like so, so perfect. Everything is so well thought-out and put-together and it all looks stunning (as did you!). I can't imagine how much time, effort and money went into it but heck, it sure paid off! Congratulations!
yeah tell me about it. it took both our savings accounts to pay off everything. we saved up a lot of money over the course of 3 years. fucking difficult to discipline yourself to limit your spending :[ cuz i don't believe in going in debt.
grand total of everything was $14k. we made half of that money back in red pocket/monetary gifts. so in the end we technically spend half lol....

Very lovely wedding photo's! Congratz :D
I got wed exactly a month later, though our ceremony and after party was very small. I made my own wedding dress and because it was on such short notice, only 2 weeks time, I was very happy to be finished with it :P (We 'rushed' our wedding date because we bought a new house and it would be easier for the mortgage that way)
Here you can see a few of my photo's https://www.facebook.com/zarae.doghym/media_set?set=a.692862787468437.1073741830.1000023 41658716&type=3

It took me 5 days, cause I had to go out and get extra stuff cause the patterns weren't correct for the hemmings.
Thank you very much :D

Has anybody seen traci Hines' faux little mermaid wedding shoot? It's gone viral. EEP!!

Traci Hines' Little Mermaid wedding was ADORBS. ♡
I'm only 20, but if I ever do get married one day, my bachelorette party will be mermaid themed, and hopefully my fiance will be alright with having his be pirate-themed, and then a small wedding on the beach! (: I plan these things in the back of my mind more often than I'd like to admit.

The thing with bachelor parties is that they're for guys :P technically we're not supposed to dip our fins into their activities.
Beach weddings would be amazing! But the thing with beaches is that they don't have a real address. Unless you do destination wedding or know a person who owns their own private beach and will let you use it for weddings ._. I originally wanted to do it on a boat but again... No real address when you're on a boat...

What?
Here in Sweden traditionally there's "Svensexa", and "Möhippa", which is bachelor and bachelorette party, I thought they had that for the bride in the US (and such) too. :/

We also have a lot of ways to have weddings on the shore, on boats, etc. :) For low and high budgets, too. But, we're San Diego, the shore is a huge draw and so it's easy to find. Might not be so easy everywhere else.

In canada we use both terms lol!!!!
Stag and doe, bachelor and bachelorette parties.
What I meant was, Generally for the bachelor parties for boys, the girl stays out of it. Likewise, boys stay out of the bachelorette parties. Includes any form of planning lol.
