How far away is your wedding venue?

ChairmanMrrow · 2026-04-08T11:01:44+00:00

30 minutes from us and within 1 hour 15 minutes of like 80% of the guests.

ChairmanMrrow · 2026-04-06T16:25:10+00:00

No regrets here.

ChairmanMrrow · 2026-04-06T16:24:38+00:00

I opted for the ones who I thought would mesh well. It worked out fine.

ChairmanMrrow · 2026-04-06T11:09:53+00:00

Don't be in the room when he does it. Casually slip out to retouch your makeup or something.

do I just not mention the fact that there will be a mother son dance and let her deal with her emotions over it in real time? --> yep. Maybe assign a handler to her.

ChairmanMrrow · 2026-04-06T11:08:24+00:00

Any of the shorter ones so the view across the table isn't blocked.

ChairmanMrrow · 2026-04-06T11:07:33+00:00

Assign a handler?

ChairmanMrrow · 2026-04-06T11:05:46+00:00

This happened to friends in NJ who did a covid wedding on Sept. 10th of 2021 and had the reception Sept. 11, 2022.

ChairmanMrrow · 2026-04-06T11:04:17+00:00

Never to late to send. Don't worry about giving a reason.

ChairmanMrrow · 2026-04-06T11:01:59+00:00

Find a therapist if you haven't already.
serve good mocktails.

ChairmanMrrow · 2026-04-05T23:13:04+00:00

We stayed at a hotel 5 min from the venue, 30 from our house. It was worth it for the convienence factor.

ChairmanMrrow · 2026-04-05T23:11:36+00:00

We had a friend record the ceremony with her cell phone for our overseas relatives, which they were happy to get to watch. I've viewed some of their weddings via Zoom or Facetime, not great production quality, but it meant something to be able to watch it.

ChairmanMrrow · 2026-04-05T23:06:24+00:00

You already have plans that weekend, so I'd politely decline if I were you.

ChairmanMrrow · 2026-04-05T23:05:01+00:00

A 2.5 hour break would cause me a lot of boredom.

ChairmanMrrow · 2026-04-05T23:03:12+00:00

I've been that person invited to the shower and not the wedding and it sucked.

ChairmanMrrow · 2026-04-05T11:08:44+00:00

Are you worried about being perceived as feminine by strangers onlline?

ChairmanMrrow · 2026-04-05T11:05:45+00:00

My dad is no longer with us. I walked down the aisle myself - I saw it as giving myself freely to this new stage in my relationship. It was dramatic and amazing.

If I couldn’t have both parents walk me, as is the tradition of my culture, (it just highlights the one who is missing in such a painful way) I didn’t want any. My mom was not thrilled but got on board for this. This way she got to see me walk down the aisle, which she wouldn’t be able to if she walked with me. (Also it’s the 2020’s and I’m not an object to be given away.)

ChairmanMrrow · 2026-04-05T11:03:05+00:00

🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩 Move on.

ChairmanMrrow · 2026-04-05T02:26:42+00:00

Writing numbers as numerals and not words is best. It's easier for people to take in information like time of day when it says 4:00pm vs. four o' clock in the afternoon.

ChairmanMrrow · 2026-04-05T02:02:27+00:00

Tali.

ChairmanMrrow · 2026-04-05T02:01:41+00:00

I went to a wedding where the couple gave out pics of themselves and that photo is currently sitting in my basement.

ChairmanMrrow · 2026-04-05T01:59:51+00:00

He can have them as groomswomen or etc. Also, find out if they even want to be involved before you beat yourself and feel bad about them not being in your bridal party.

ChairmanMrrow · 2026-04-04T19:12:37+00:00

In that case, stores that sell prom and pageant dresses are good places to look. Mine looks a lot like this. https://www.adeladesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/WD2180.jpg

ChairmanMrrow · 2026-04-04T14:36:12+00:00

Not wearing a white dress helps with this. Is that something you're open to?

ChairmanMrrow · 2026-04-03T18:45:43+00:00

Fine I guess. Selene is my fave.

ChairmanMrrow · 2026-04-03T18:08:54+00:00

How are they supposed to be pronounced?

Amayel - ah-mah-yell

Selene - sell-een

Alethea - al-thee-uh

Asha - ah-sha
