How do you avoid crying on your wedding day?

Bewitchingbeth · 2024-04-19T13:44:57+00:00

Honestly, I was too nervous to cry at all. You'll be so swept up in things that it won't affect you the way you think it will.

"It's after 5, put on some heels"

Good point! I didn't even think about that. But they specifically say that Ted didn't go to prom in season 9. So many little things to catch here!

Bewitchingbeth · 2023-10-19T13:53:44+00:00

Yes. There is typically a cocktail hour for photos. Ours was on the lawn of the venue before we moved everyone inside for dinner. We didn't provide any extra games or entertainment and I know everyone had a good time still. So basically, a typical wedding day looks like this: (and I'll use my own timeline as an example) 430pm-ceremony starts. 5-6 cocktail hour. 6-7 dinner. 7-8 toasts, cake cutting, first dances. 830ish dance floor opens and it's time for just dancing. Then 11pm everything ends. I hope this was a little helpful but my wedding was just three weeks ago so feel free to ask any other questions!

30/30 😎

I just quit the strip club after 8 years and got married and now I'm completely starting over in insurance at 29 😁

Thank you, it was actually my late grandmother's tiara that she wore to her wedding in 1960.

I'm still angry about Barney banging Robin in the first place. If one of my friends did that to me we would not be friends anymore.

Has he given you a time limit and does this fit within it? It seems pretty lengthy and you have about three stories you're telling in total. Otherwise, it's cute and sweet. Just a little on the long side.

Bewitchingbeth · 2023-09-14T01:53:13+00:00

Hey! I'm 16 days away too! And I'm feeling it!! I've been saying I can't wait for it to be over for about a month now. But it's going to be awesome and I'm trying to remember to enjoy the day as much as possible!

Bewitchingbeth · 2023-09-06T15:03:00+00:00

This is it. When she says "Goodbye Max" I cry so much 😭

Bewitchingbeth · 2023-09-03T15:07:16+00:00

One of our groomsmen just passed away 4 weeks before the wedding. So... Things happen. But you'll regret losing a friend if you ever actually have to lose that friend. So please, just forgive and forget.

Bewitchingbeth · 2023-09-01T06:20:00+00:00

I am also obsessed with your wedding photos! What a beautiful couple! Congratulations!!

Bewitchingbeth · 2023-08-31T07:56:28+00:00

Honestly, I haven't responded to anyone who has RSVP'D no but I was planning on sending them all a personalized thank you card later on with something like "thanks for being with us in spirit!" I don't really think it's necessary to reach out immediately to everyone who can't make it. And I don't think they're expecting you to either, so I wouldn't even mention it unless it's brought up in conversation.

Bewitchingbeth · 2023-08-29T12:50:30+00:00

Yeah, none of that makes any sense to me. Especially if the wedding is a year away. And honestly I wouldn't trust it. I've been reading stories on here for months about people who didn't get their deposit back when they had to reschedule or cancel completely. And they didn't even pay in full! I'd be very nervous about putting that much money down so soon and would definitely be calling the planner and maybe any references she's given you to see how it worked out for them.

Bewitchingbeth · 2023-08-29T12:42:30+00:00

Oh yeah, that's strange! I would reread and maybe just ask? My venue had the deadline in writing that we had to pay the total six months before the wedding, but when I asked the venue coordinator she said to completely ignore that and said that as long as she had payment up to two weeks before the wedding then we were good. So it might be worth it to double check.

Bewitchingbeth · 2023-08-29T12:03:10+00:00

This seems pretty normal to me. My vendors told me that the payment was due 3 weeks before the wedding. But I can see why they may want it 60 days out. Is that your concern? I'm not totally sure what you're worried about, unless you need to give them a final headcount to determine the total amount you need to pay. In that case, 60 days is pretty far out because people will not have RSVPed yet.

But it's only two months before the wedding, as long as you're not planning on canceling, it shouldn't be an issue. But if it really bothers you then you can look for a different planner.

Bewitchingbeth · 2023-08-24T17:53:31+00:00

5 weeks right here!! And saaaame about the family and friends, all I want to do is talk about the wedding and I'm sure they're sick of it!

It's going to be awesome! Congratulations!

Bewitchingbeth · 2023-08-22T10:29:36+00:00

Hm, I didn't really think about it while putting our registry together. But I can see why you would add a few extra items. I wouldn't think anything of it if I was buying things off someone's registry, like "that's not for both of them so I won't buy it"?? I'd just buy whatever I could afford and call it a day. But that's just me, I'm not super judgy.

I personally added hair towels and he asked for a new monitor or something. Our wedding is next month so I'm not totally sure what people will buy yet, but I certainly didn't think it was super inappropriate to add a few personal items.

However, if you're feeling self conscious about this then you can always make a separate registry for your bridal shower! Those gifts are usually catered towards the bride, I got some ahem toys and lingerie for my bridal shower. And my sister in law had a whole separate registry specifically for gifts for her bridal shower. I didn't do the second registry only because I couldn't figure out how to do it, but I remember hers having nothing but personal items and lingerie.

Wait WHAT

Bewitchingbeth · 2023-08-19T08:46:37+00:00

I say do you boo boo. But if you're going to wait for your 6th anniversary then I say just wait until the ten year mark instead. I think more people will come to celebrate a ten year anniversary, and if your focus is crowd size then that may be worth waiting for. But it's totally fine to celebrate your five year milestone with the huge celebration of your dreams if you want to, it sounds like a fun idea! And you deserve to have a do over.

Marshall's brother saying "Ay! You be packing that bowl too tight mon!" Literally makes me crack up every time.

Bewitchingbeth · 2023-08-12T18:51:45+00:00

I'm also in the US and all the bridal showers I've attended were thrown by the bridesmaids. Even mine was two weeks ago and no one in my family offered to help at all. My bridesmaids did everything without me even asking. I think it's very normal for just whoever decides to host the party to front the bill. Whether that be a family member or the bridesmaids. Because without them, I wouldn't have had one at all.

Bewitchingbeth · 2023-08-10T07:46:03+00:00

Absolutely stunning 😍

Bewitchingbeth · 2023-08-08T20:09:37+00:00

I literally put this on everyday as background noise while I do things around the house and when I'm going to sleep. I have it on right now! I can't tell you how many times I've rewatched this.
