The best statement I've ever read is "Tradition is peer pressure from dead people." We're planning our wedding, our way, for us.

[backpackerinprogress]

Confession: I went dress shopping with two of my close friends before going with my mom. I was terrified of body shaming and hating the experience and never told my mom about that first trip without her. It made me so much more confident to deflect or not internalize anything she did or said. Do not regret!

[drinkerofalltheteas]

A personal confession: We are adding the people we don’t like to the seating chart. (FH’s parents included) we are naming the tables instead of numbering them, after National Parks we want to visit. The unpopular table is The Badlands or Death Valley 😂😂😂

As an introvert, i can't wrap my head around the fact that people are willing to spend fortunes to have a big wedding full of people they don't want to spend the day with or people who won't be in their lives in ten years time. Our wedding is in two weeks, and we had a firm rule for the guest lists : only people that we want to have in our life in fourty years. Since we both have small families and a few close friends, it ended up being 22 adults, five kids. No cousins i don't care about, no friends from work i like but won't go out of my way to see once i leave my job. Just the ones we adore and absolutely can't imagine getting married without. It's gonna be a three-days family reunion in Burgundy countryside, we're gonna go swim in the lake nearby, have an intimate ceremony, good food, good wine. Only joy and love, zero stress !

Ah man!! My mum did the first one - she invited three extra couples (who my fiancé and I have never met). She posited it as if she was asking us to consider inviting them, and I told her that if we had space in our guest list we would consider it. But then for weeks she kept calling me, asking why her friend’s invitations were late! After explaining - on three separate occasions - that we would consider inviting them pending RSVPs from actual guests, I had to tell her I wasn’t going to invite people who wouldn’t know who I was if I wasn’t wearing a wedding dress. We had a full guest list and decided not to pay extra for people we didn’t know. I still can’t believe she did that.

Would you be able to actually post screenshots of these confessions? I would love to enjoy these videos (similar to the one you did for wedding horror stories) but I'm deaf so it would really help if you can add screenshots.

It's funny to see how different weddings are in The Netherlands from America. It's so much simpler, smaller and less 'restricted' by rules. Color scheme? Matching bridesmaids dresses? Cutting of the cake, walking in or out moment, tossing of the bouquet? Not happening. It's just a casual, relaxing time with friends and family and celebrating a union.

[freerunningHim]

Girl- I found my dress on Facebook market place for 85$, silk taffeta fully lined, with detachable train and bolero including shipping. I shared it with my mom, she said buy it. That was that. I'll get it fitted closer to the date. Then I found a beautiful 1950's swing wedding dress which i shared with my fiance on Facebook market place. When i told him it was my measurements, the next message I got was, "Bought it." I got 2 awesome dresses for under 300$.

Just a tip: can you put the text on screen so we can read along,

[vickybentham]

We had loads of family pressure about the type of wedding they thought we should have and who we should invite. Thankfully covid meant that we could elope with two witnesses. We've told everyone that we'll do a vow renewal eventually but we won't - from two introverts

[auntybecca]

I gave my fiancé minimal tasks to accomplish for the upcoming wedding next month. He needed a suit/tie/shoes etc… finally got that checked off this week. He needed to pick a cake flavor (his aunt is a baker) and he literally just decided tonight, and we picked the venue together because he is an architect so he has building opinions, but everything else is on me and I am a very low-maintenance bride. Literally made my mom angry saying I didn’t it want to make programs for the ceremony because I don’t see the point. I’m Making my own center pieces and favors, still trying to finish sewing my own dress, trying to make sure we have the proper guest count and that the seating chart is right because my fiancé is Portuguese and EVERYONES FIRST NAME IS MARIA! 😂Fingers crossed we have a good time and this this does not all fall apart. But no matter how it goes, I’m marrying this man and he is marrying me and that is what the day is about.

[lotsoflove]

Can confirm: dress shopping on your own is great.

[Mamaslittleblog]

@ the leaving people off the seating chart… if someone’s not wanted / welcome why send them an invite? Recommend learning to straight up say no and set boundaries so you don’t have to be flaky and petty later on :)

[andreaviljoen]

I can relate with the 'taking people off the guest list after sending out Save The Dates'. I felt so horrible having to do it, but we sent them out before Covid hit, and then had to adjust our plans according to regulations. Our guest list went from 140 to 24 guests. We were planning on having a big reception this year in celebration, but after having been married for almost a year, we have learnt that we enjoyed our small, intimate wedding, and we can spend that money on much more important things.

[thatsnotmyname]

My future mother in law (who is normally an amazing and very reasonable person) is trying to take over my wedding. She's used to being the resident party planner of the family and keeps inserting her opinions into all of our wedding plans/ ideas. She takes the ideas I share with her and then runs them off into a completely different direction from what I originally wanted. She literally has a Pinterest board for MY wedding. I love her so much and know that she's just excited, but I can already tell that one of my regrets will be not setting better boundaries with my in laws.

[victorialee]

I am getting married literally in three days, thought this maybe would stress me out. But oh no! This made me feel so much better! 😂 Thank you for making me laugh! This was amazing!

[themuffins]

about to have a 50 person, potluck, backyard, under a tent wedding! Keeping it super, super simple, serving buffet style. I did not want to stress about this day, and if you are on the fence of simple or elaborate... go simple

[andreadavis]

I heard a couple sent a Bill to the people who RSVP and didn’t show. PURE GOLD!

[iwasalllikeomg]

We didn't really have a budget either, it just felt impossible when at the start you have no idea of how much everything costs. We compared options for every element and went with a balance of cost and quality for each individual thing. But for most things (like venue, photographer, dj) it was about accepting that is just how much it's gonna cost.
We had some form of a budget in that our parents gifted us an amount of money for the wedding and in the end, we still have money left over to spend on our house, so I don't think we did too bad.

[krystelledesrosiers]

My mother in-law REALLY tested mine and my "future husband's" relationship while we were planning. She really ruined wedding planning for my husband and continued to give us useless information and causing arguments. The wedding day was very awkward with her and avoiding her was a MUST for me. Looking back i wish we could have known how difficult it was going to be, some of our decisions would have been changed to better accommodate the family members that felt outcasted in the planning process.
NO NOT LET ANYONE RUIN YOUR PLANNING
