Phi Mu Wedding Traditions
 

I was recently asked to be a bridesmaid in my Phi Mu sister's wedding. I've been musing over how our Phi Mu tradition will go down, and I'm curious what other Phi Mus around the country do at sisters' weddings.

At our chapter, we circle around the Phi Mu bride at the wedding, and sing a shortened version of "Linger." I've only done it at one Phi Mu wedding thus far (I'm young!) but it wasn't as powerful as I had hoped. It felt kind of odd with everyone watching us... Maybe b/c there were only about 10 Phi Mus there?

What do you do at Phi Mu weddings?

I know this is kind of old so I hope I'm not too late! When my pseudo big (long story, not really my big but she's basically why I'm a Phi Mu) got married she hid a carnation in each of her Phi Mu bridesmaids bouquets and her own. You can find pictures of it on pintrest if you look hard enough. And she pinned all of her Phi Mu bridesmaids badges on her bouquet and gave little carnation boutonnieres to the women who were Phi Mu's but she couldn't have in her bridal party as a way to recognize them. I know there were a bunch more things but that's all I can think of right now... If you PM me I can send you a link to a picture of the bouquets.
