Do it your way!

Do it your way! 1

Do it your way! 2
Soooooo we got married 22.9.22 and had the best fun day and best advice to give brides is do it YOUR way.
We didn't much follow tradition. I had a MAN of honour
My flower girl was a man who danced down the Isle to the cantina music from STAR warsI walked down the Isle to the imperial march from STAR warsAs you can see my dad turned up in a full comic book suitI know our wedding may not be for everyone but everyone there had a great time as they understood this weird and wonderful wedding is what we wanted ❤️ What I am saying is do what makes you happy as I see so many brides on here turning themselves inside out trying to please everyone and dealing with wedding politics.... it is yours and your other half's day and you should be able to enjoy it.Sending big loves to all 💋

    Congratulations on your wedding! I'm so glad you had fun - and I love the photo of you with your dad. He looks great in that suit!

    Thanks lovely! Yes the day was fun from start to finish and everyone said how relaxed and fun it turned out too which was of course a bonus as we totally did it the way we wanted
    Can't wait to get the photos back as we went down a slide in a children's play area at one point :')

    Everyone was great with it. Originally we were going to go off and do it alone in Vegas the fact we did it at home was good.
    My parents were great as you can see from my dad's suit (which he suprised me with)
    The husbands grandma had to get on board a little more as she is religious but they all understood this was how we wanted it and we were doing it this way x
    There was so much love and laughter in room which is what we wanted

    Yeah I am 46 and couldn't be bothered with all the fancy traditions so I gey you but at risk of sounding selfish it is YOUR wedding and too be honest friends and family should try and be more understanding
    It breaks my heart seeing all the drama and anxiety all these lovely ladies (and men) put themselves through trying to please everyone AND make the perfect day.
    Trust me ... we did it our way it was so fun and that is what we will remember when we look back on the day 😀 Is it next year yours?

    Yes can't wait and you are so right I haven't spoken to my family and friends for so long now because of what I want it's hard but we are sticking to what we want not others X❤️ I thought it would be less stressful but with the family and friends thing it just makes us not want to do it at all if you get me sorry I'm mumbling ❤️

    Don't say sorry this is why I made the post as I want you guys to do it the way that makes you happy.
    I feel being strong from the get go and saying "this is how it will be" made it easier and at risk of sounding like a knob we were very much like if people didn't like it they don't have to come.
    We did the register at 2pm with both mothers, his grandma and my best friend only Then we hot tailed it to what we called the proper wedding foe 4pm where we had around 40 guest (my family is big and we don't have kids)If you really wanna do something for the family and friends to shut them up do a little lunch or something after the event at home or something Drinks and nibbles - sorted ha ha

    So sorry it has gone that way for you, just remember that is a reflection on their own behaviour and not yours darling 🥰
