Top 3: wedding woes

2 years Weddings

Weddings are unique events and, as we get older and gather more experience, we tend to compare one wedding to another and, at some point, we know what we like and what we don’t like during the celebration.

We are in the middle of summer and most of us have attended at least one wedding this season. After a long discussion with friends, I came up with the following 3 most annoying things that could happen at a wedding. So, if you have a wedding in the following weeks, you know what to do and what you don’t.

Long Speeches

I have seen (and listened to) them all! And I must say that if you have something to say for more than 10 minutes (which is already enough) no one will pay attention. No matter how emotional or funny your speech is, keep it short. Less is more.

Along with the long speech, there is the “improv speech”. If it was not planned that you had to talk, please don’t. Weddings are always on a tight schedule and couples feel the day goes by so fast. Hence, don’t be a time thief and avoid improvisation. Letters are a great way to express your feelings to the couple.

Attending Policy

Attendance policy revolves around two main points. The first will be the “uninvited +1”. Bringing someone who was not officially invited is very impolite. No matter how close you are to the newlyweds, always respect the couple’s guest list, and don’t assume you can bring someone along without prior approval. This puts unnecessary strain on seating arrangements, catering, and overall logistics.

The other critical situation is the “no kids policy”. Generally, this is a very personal decision (and a complicated one) for the couple. Regardless of whether you like it or not, if you decide to attend the wedding, you have to respect the rule. Questioning their request or trying to impose your child on them is highly rude.

Dress Code

Many people have dreamed about their wedding day for years and, excluding a few exceptions, I have never met a bride who likes to see other guests in white. Please never try to outshine the bride. It doesn’t matter if you are not wearing a dress or if it is patterned.

If the attire has not been specified on the invitation or website, please ask the wedding planner, the bridesmaids, the best men, etc. The last thing you want to do at a beach wedding is show up with a gown.
