I watched a live streamed wedding Mass a few hours ago. It wasn't bad and the homily was actually good but I noticed a few things that struck me as lacking.
Ladies, don't wear strapless gowns. You're not going to a NYC Fashion week ; you're going to the house of God for a sacrament. On a practical level strapless gowns show too much when you bow or genuflect or lean forward to adjust your gown. Show some respect to the priest and don't make him have to put up with an eyeful of heaving bosom or be photographed with an embarrassingly dressed bride.
Be kind to your bridesmaids. Pick a gown that doesn't make any of them look like five pounds of meat in a two pound bag or the chorus line at the Moulin Rouge. Ease up on the makeup too. I'm not saying go barefaced by any means but resembling the Joker isn't a good look...truly.
If you're going to have family or friends do the readings make sure they can actually speak using a microphone instead of muttering, giggling or whispering. They don't need to act out the reading either. When you kiss your groom, please don't grope each other, or attempt a search mission for his tonsils. Nobody needs to see that in general and certainly not in church.
