You could always have a multi-tiered pizza that looks like a wedding cake... each level could be a different kind.... and instead of a bride and groom on top, you could have the Noid and the Little Ceasers Guy.

I love how women just completely redefine the word "budget" in the context of a wedding. Just another frustrating example of what a fuckin racket it is and how everybody in this country wants and expects what they can't afford. Champagne tastes with a beer budget.

A budget, ladies, is a fixed set of funds you have to work within, not go over by half. They completely don't give a shit that they only have a set amount to work with and just do/order what they want anyway. Excuse the massive generalization but it is, generally, true. What a racket.
 
When I was in high school I went to a wedding with a friend. It took place in a Veteran's hall (heated with space heaters) and the bride, she was my age at the time - about 17, was pregnant. I can't imagine a more WT wedding than that one.

But even they didn't have pizza.

Well what he said is pretty true.....woman generally do just go waaaay overboard at weddings even when a budget is set. If the average cost of a wedding is now $30k there is no way of even beggining to argue that. And hell just look at wedding and engagement rings. I got my fiancee a $1k wedding ring....and thats considered amazingly cheap. The sales guy told me the average for a ring is $1,000s higher. Just plain crazy.

Well if I insulted you I'm sorry. No sarcasm I really am.

Forgive me as I'm a CAG and a groom who, like the OP, was not lucky enough to find the rare fiance who is not into the whole fairy-tale traditional wedding thing.

These two things: (1) being a CAG and (2) being engaged to a girl who wants the expensive/average wedding results in a little bit of bitterness.

I can't vent at home so I gotta gripe here. Sorry if I insulted.
 
[quote name='MSI Magus']Heres the thing. Fiancee is only uncomfortable with it because she thinks other people will snub their nose at it. And I have been compromising, we are spending way more then I wanted to, having it in a way I dont want to and inviting people I dont want to.
[/QUOTE]

Tough, its a wedding...its not for you, really, its for her...to show off, her moment in the sun thats really what weddings all come down to. Every girl wants to grow up (well most of em) to be a bride or a princess...since most of em wont make the latter, they opt for the former so just nod and give her waht she wants.

The PROBLEM will be if you can't afford what she wants.....remember, its one day and its all over so fast you have to be comfortable with what you're spending your money on.

I am guessing that since you are doing this as a pot-luck you really aren't expecting to make out at your wedding, right? ie: Most of the weddings I go to require a suit and tie and $200 checks (which traditionally is to cover the cost of the meal and give a little something to the bride and groom...which you wont get if people are bringing their own Cole Slaw and Baked Beans). NOte I've been to weddings where the norm was more like $1000, but they were pretty ethnic affairs, so it varies by region to region and community by community, not sure where you fall into the mix.

Her mom has taken shot after shot after shot at me and iv just taken them all on the chin to keep things civil......trust me I understand how important this day is. Just figured maybe this could be the one thing she compromised on....but still seems everyones against it so I guess ill chalk it up to a bad idea.

My big concession on my wedding day? Carrots. Seriously, I got Carrots. They were planning the meal and my wife and my mother decided on Mixed Vegetables...I said "Nope, I want carrots". My wife and mother politely informed me that some people might not LIKE carrots, and I calmly replied "Look, I haven't asked for shit in this thing....but I'm getting fucking carrots, understand? If people dont LIKE carrots they can eat the potatos or the salad or the OTHER 800 items we are feeding them, but on my plate...there will be carrots". And that was that :)

I might still use it in the sense of ordering like 15 pizzas and having them as a side. Like since everyone is bringing their fav dish mine is pizza so instead of ordering like 60 of them and having them be the main course ill just order like 10-15 and its enough everyone can get a slice? Does that sound more appropriate?

For a Jug-Band weddin' held in a trailer park, sure!

To the guy that said mohawk at a wedding? Hehe you will probally love our cake. We are trying to find someone to make us a Katamari cake. The prince will be rolling a heart shaped ball and the bride and groom and a bunch of frosting will have been rolled up.
Click to expand...

Its nice to see you're taking this whole thing seriously.....I give you 3 years, tops.

I hope you at least inform the people you are inviting that its a Pot Luck wedding and let them know to not wear a suit.

FOLLOUP AFTER SOUNDING LIKE A DICK ABOVE:
You gotta remember a wedding is supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime event, don't make it a SuperBowl party......don't make it a kegger......its kinda supposed to be you and your wife showing off to your family and friends who are supposed to bring you nice gifts as a thank-you (money or otherwise) and go from there. I've been to weddings where the spouses got trashed, and it was pretty embarassing. I've been to ones where the guys got too wild or the girls got too slutty, and those were pretty embarassing too.....

But I digresss, in the end: Give her what she wants, so long as she is prepared to eat the cost along with you, and STFU. Its not about you, its about her.....

I guess I'm lucky -- my girlfriend wants a small wedding and I'm the one who wants a large celebration...but I want to do it big in the old-school Italian style, and have it outside shortly after/as we've purchased and moved into a home (hopefully with a nice sized yard to accommodate such an event), and invite lots of family (which isn't going to make it big, since our extended families are rather small), and friends (which very well may).

Back to the OP, you can do pizza if that's what your friends and family can see you guys doing (it sounds pretty casual?), but if that's not what your family or fiancee want, it may be worth a reconsider. I like wubb's idea better of not having it as a main course. I love my favorite pizza place more than any catered dinner I've had at any wedding, but it might seem weird to your guests (who I obviously don't know). People like to say the wedding is about you and the bride, but it sure as heck doesn't seem like it.

In my personal situation, I'm having a Chinese-style wedding banquet at my favorite restaurant. The banquet menu is going to be like 80% seafood, even though my fiance and I don't even like seafood. Why? Because other people are going to be expecting seafood (sign of wealth for Chinese weddings). My mother had a cow when I suggested having my favorite dishes as part of the banquet, stating those are "poor people dishes". I think our compromise is going to maybe have our dishes as extra along all the other weird seafood crap being served or maybe just for us (similar to what HeadRusch said about his carrots... I'm having my Ma Po Tofu, damn it!).

When I get married, I plan on having my best friend arrange cloth flower bouquets, at the very least for the bridesmaids and bridal flowers. She made gorgeous ones for her own wedding to save money on real flowers as well as for allergy reasons. Plus, they obviously keep forever, so they're another momento of the day. I don't know what I'm going to do for photographers, but I definitely plan to shop around. My friend also does photographs, but she'd be a bridesmaid anyway. I plan on doing my own makeup and hair because I feel there's no need to pay someone to do it when I actually know how to do it myself adequately enough (no one knows you better than yourself!). However, it seems like you're having a fairly traditional wedding due to your cultural and family backgrounds, so you probably can't sidestep some of those costs. Good luck to you!
 
Head rush first off this is a suit and tie wedding. While im a very layed back person I LOVE dressing up and often wear suits for no reason, my fiancee also is insisting its still very dress. Besides taht yes its potluck but its not potluck in the sense of thats all thats provided. We are only asking aunts and uncles to bring dishes, people outside the family nothing is expected of. Besides that regardless of if we do pizza or something fancy we still planning on providing the bulk of the food. The other stuff is just extras.

Second no reason to be rude about pizza. Just cause you have a stick up your ass doesnt mean others might not appreciate the thought. Again I want my wedding to be real, not some stupid show. And thats why the Katamari cake is a great idea and fuck you for saying we will only be married for three years. Sorry but most people have big overblown events like you and guess what *gasp* most people get divorced. You ever stop to think that by having pizza even if not a main event item and having a Katamari cake which is something we both love we are getting our marriage started off on the right foot? It starts off wtih us being us and worrying at least somewhat about us and not the rest of the world, it starts off with us spending alot...but not so much that we could have bought a freaking car or put a down payment on a house with what we spend. Besides while im a new school kid having hand tattoos and a mohawk, im old school when it comes to getting married. Its part of the reason we are having a bit of a pot luck and its a big part of the reason we arnt signing papers. Because marriage is supposed to be about the binding of two souls for eternity not all this other worthless shit others care about.

To end ya a wedding is about her and tis a big event. But why is that? Its because America is a disgusting capitalist society where people care more about impressing other people then being themselves and its because we have let womans have this stupid run away fantasy for years. And guess waht! Most of these woman dont even know WTF they want anyways because most woman I know that have the big overblown weddings end up regretting it later. Seriously I know sooooo many woman that have been married twice the first time being a big wedding that they thought would be great and turned out to be a big expensive headache they didnt enjoy so the second wedding was a small event.

Im glad I created this topic. Its really made me realize what I want to do. She ruined our engagment crying over what her mom would think for hours....and then her mom further ruined it by treating her like shit the next day and me the rest of the holiday. It took us a hard difficult year to get past that and I didnt even want to be engaged to her for a long time and looked for a good way to walk away. We have been through soo much and even I may not be a girl but im a girly guy thats dreamed of my wedding my whole life. Ill be damned if other people or the expectations of society ruin it. Im seeing now that I need to keep making the compromises to make her happy(since that still is the most important thing)but I need to keep interjecting myself into this because it IS my wedding too and I want this to get started on the right foot. I wont get pizza for the main course but I am getting it as a side. It can sit right there next to my "tacky" Katamari cake while my music everyone hates still gets played every few songs!

Thanks for the input everyone. Talking through this helped.

Hehe see and I wanted a Chinese reception! Freaking LOVE chinese food! Anyways good luck to you too. We have been pretty lucky so far, all my aunts insist on going over the top with alot of needed stuff, her grandma is doing all the flowers and her best friend is a professional photographer.
 
I hate these preconceived notions of what a wedding should be. If I ever get married, and I can afford it, my wedding is gonna have pizza, chicken wings, and a taco/nacho bar, and I guarantee EVERYONE will say it's the best damn wedding they have ever been too.

[quote name='lilboo']Hey Magus, maybe I missed it in the thread.. but what happened with the engagment ?[/QUOTE]

I asked her to Marry me a few months before Christmas and she said no because she was worried about what her family would think. Pretty much destroyed me. After a few months she broke down in tears one night crying for hours that she thought I would never ask her again because how much she hurt me the first time. So about 2 months later I made all the preparations. I got her a gorgeous ring which I tricked her into picking out for herself to make sure she got exactly what she wanted. She had no clue it was for her. Anyways she was set to move in with me a week or so after Christmas so I was going to do it Christmas eve. We spent the night at a hotel because her mom wouldnt let me sleep at their house less we were in seperate rooms(which I didnt mind till they started talking down to me). I had slipped the ring onto the stem of a red rose and then slide the rose into a tube of wrapping paper. I asked her to hand me the wrapping paper and dink the rose fell out and while she was examining it I got on one knee and asked her. She immediately started to cry and nod and say yes.....but after a few seconds the crying turned to just an absolute break down. Turns out she was still worried about her mom. I held her till 3 in the mourning listening to her cry and then sat up unable to fall asleep in shock for hours more wondering what to do. I knew she was emotionally unstable and felt I couldnt leave.....but at the same time I knew I deserved batter. The next day she didnt even wear my ring because she didnt want her mom to know. Later in the night she told her mom and step dad....both of whom made things miserable

I spent the next year trying to build up her confidence and work through things till she seemed alot better. At that point she was standing up for herself but started having random breakdowns. One day she tried to crash her car....had to have her quit her job and go through months of therapy. That was over a year ago, she has just bloomed since then. Shes confronted her abusefull dad by herself and stopped making 90% of her descions based on her mom. Shes shown me love and our lives have never been happier. I told her that I would not leave as long as she needed me, but I wouldnt marry her till she was stable. I wanted it to be her choice made out of happiness not out of her being scared of being alone or in a time where she wasnt mentally right. Shes come so far and like I said things are just so amazing, the time is right. Though the date is being set for about a year and a half from now because my cousin just got married and my other cousin just made the surprise announcment that she is also getting married. 3 weddings in one year seemed like far too much for my family and I know my fiancee wants things to be perfect so we set a date for September of 09.
 
Wow, did I really type in Hostel?

I must have been tired or something.

OP, you can't ask about something that generally is value-laden (in this case, food for one of the most important days of your life) and then get mad when people call you out on it, especially considering the gravity of the situation. You've basically come in here hoping you'd garner a lot of support, thinking us CAGs would all be pretty like-minded on the subject, and the thing is simply that we're not.

We can rail against society all we want on our little message board, and even get the occasional fish-pumping supporter, but really all you're going to do is say some variation of "fuck you guys" and walk off, since you had this dead-set in your head long before you posted.

First not mad. ALot of people have said stuff I dont really like but have said it in polite ways. I only get upset with those taht say crap like we shouldnt be getting married or wont last. Second actually no I didnt expect people would say "wow" "pizza at a wedding thats brilliant". I expected the type of response id get is about what I did. Most saying no, few responding with insults because this is the internet and people are jackasses and finally a few people responding with good suggestions. Those suggestions are why I posted, because hearing them and talking with people iv worked out for myself what I want to do. So no not gonna say fuck you guys and walk off. Gonna say fuck you people who are insulting and thank you to those that disagreed but gave good suggestions and critical feedback.

So again to people like you just like society I will indeed say fuck you. But to the others like guu,drick, wubb and pitapiza thanks guys! Like iv said I think ill go with the idea of only having a few pizzas as a side and then cutting them up into cracker sized bites that way first its less messy and second it looks nicer.

Edit - Fish pumping was pretty funny.
 
Man, I'm not insulting you at all. I made some jokey comments for a while, and then I said the above.

There's tons of threads all over the place like this. Someone comes in and proposes something and then gets pissed when they find out there's a difference of opinion on - gasp - the internets.

I already gave you the perfect solution anyway. Serve it at the rehearsal dinner. Then you get your pizza, it's part of the entire ceremony, you can make a toast/speech about how special it is.

fucking hell. Calm down. For a guy that eats a lot of pizza, you sure aren't very jolly.
 
I want something cheap and simple for my wedding. I would adore pizza at my wedding. Does your pizza place do any other italian food? You could do chicken parma or something like that for an entree as well as pizza. If it's quality pizza I don't see a problem with it.

Hell, I'd love to go to a wedding with pizza and wings.:lol:
 
Hey, Magus I think I have an amazing solution.
Why don't you make your theme italian. Have it set up buffet style. Meatballs, sausage, some pasta stations (with various sauces; mainly just go for regular pasta sauce, alfredo, and vodka), have some lasgna, baked ziti, chicken/eggplant parm..AND you can actually have pizza and it will fit in :)

I'm not even kidding or half joking at all. In fact, I'm glad I was able to think this because I think I'd like that for my.. wed.. erm.. ceremony. Plus I'm all italian, so maybe that's why I'm partial :lol:

Iv thought about doing this, but my fiancee is really set on the theme being family and the uniting through food.....so given that neither of our families is italian......but still italian food is her fav so maybe I can talk her into an italian theme. Pasta is her favorite food too hehe.

Ya we want it September of this year and were planning it. But then my cousin Sara decided not to elope and within a 1 month period of time had her wedding. Just before that my other cousin Eric had announced they would be getting married and set the date for November of this year. Even though we were engaged first and deserve to get married first....they set their dates first. We feel like 3 weddings in one year is just much too much for our family. So we have to push it back. We really want it in August or September......so it has to be a full year. We are really excited and were planning on this though so ya we have alot of ideas and are planning ahead. We are still hoping to that Eric will push his wedding back and maybe we can do it this September after all.
