Kolek planning to go pro
Eh, I love our photos and our photographer got a ton of awesome action shots. Large wedding and dance floor... We had someone video the ceremony and I think we've watched it once.You've only been married a year, so let me know what you get around to watching yours again.
Elope.Seriously, weddings are a waste of money. "Oh, it's for a wedding? That gets our 40% surcharge." Agree with Lens on the bar and the band/DJ.
I'm with Ziggy.
As someone with flat feet…a comfortable pair of shoes is vital. Between the pictures (you’re in basically all of them), the ceremony, reception, you don’t really realize how taxing it is until the day after.
First rule, don't invite dentists. You don't want that kind at your wedding!Seriously, do what you two want, not what tradition, or family, or social pressure dictates. Our wedding was a destination wedding...at Gesu when we lived in Florida. Reception was a booze cruise, so no first dance, band or corny DJ, followed by a raucous night at Buck Bradleys. (When you start drinking unidentifiable blue drinks, it may be time to stop) Nothing like closing Bucks in a wedding dress and tux. But we had a blast. No drama.
Congrats on getting married. Now the federal gift will unfairly given you benefits just for doing this private, personal act.
Weren't you like...50 when you got married?
I'd be totally fine not having any speeches, I think she wants to have at least one person from each side give a speech.
One speech/toast from each side (no more). Have them delivered early before the booze is flowing - the last thing you want are drunken ramblings from a groomsman about the good old days! Give the job to people who are funny and comfortable with public speaking.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Mrs. TAMU and I agree that if we got married again, we wouldn't do a videographer. We watched the video once and it was very meh. The pictures were a lot more meaningful. We also had friends who filmed the most important parts that we actually wanted. Would have saved us a lot of money.
We had one heck of a Dad/Daughter first dance. When she was a young girl, we both sang one song whenever it came on the radio at the top of our lungs. We both had an awful voice, so it was perfect. That's what we did in lieu of a dance on her wedding. My wife cringed but she said, "well, it's you two!" Morale of the story: It's her day, do what she and ye want!
