I had to download the app and create an account in order to access their full FAQ, and wanted to add here to save that time and energy for others - this app only allows pairing with ONE other person, so it's not suitible for non-monogamous people who wants to use it for several relationships or polyamours constallations where there are more than two people together.
My courtney, a nick impression is that nick is the arranged marriage guy from courtney's parents ambush wedding. She married her boyfriend four days after the ambush wedding that she said no to.

You 2 are probably a rare okay straight couple. (All jokes but you two seem really good for eachother)
@@MercyForTheInnocentthat is just straight up misinformation
My sister had a dungeons and dragons themed wedding. We wore medieval clothing and her dress and veil were black. I’ve never played dnd but that’s how she and her husband met!
My biggest regret for my wedding is not doing a themed wedding like I wanted to. I caved into my mom's cries for "traditionalism" and did things "the "appropriate way. " The ceremony and reception were nice, they were beautiful even, but they did not reflect my partner and I.
My husband's parents wedding was d&d themed too!
That wedding sounds kick ass
the family i used to babysit for, their eldest daughter had a Rocky Horror Picture Show themed wedding, it was brilliant!
When my husband and I got married, we had his niece as the flower girl, and she tripped over her dress, spilling the petals everywhere. She got up and loudly said, "Oh bother!" In front of everyone. She was very into winnie the pooh at the time, it was very funny and cute. Just want to add, she was fine, just a little bump on her knee, she was dancing the day away just a short time later
That's adorable
glad it wasen't too bad and everything was okay
That's a sweet story!
I love Winnie The Pooh! This is adorable!
That's the cutest thing ever!
We had a costume wedding, guests were told they could come in costume or not, but to please dress comfortable and warm. We had an outside wedding in Maine October 31. Our cake had a cartoon style cemetery and ghosts and we had child centered games. We have helped other couples plan fun themed weddings since, most of which include a children's corner with age appropriate games.
OMG that sounds so fun!
We did children's activities at our wedding reception, worked like a charm.
Cute wedding story:
My cousin just got married in October, one of the couple's hobbies is swing dancing. For their first dance they had a choreographed swing performance which ended in a dramatic and classic dip-and-kiss move. The parents on both sides also had swing dancing lessons for weeks beforehand so they could do swing for the father-bride and mother-groom dances. They also had their pro dancer friends do a group lesson for anyone who wanted to participate during the dinner. I didn't do the lesson but we always did some swing in school gym class, so I did what I could remember to La Vie En Rose with my aunt (grooms mom). I'm a trans man and she's very supportive so it was kindof a special moment for me to dance as a man for the first time. It was also my first time getting properly drunk and my cousins (both guys) and my uncle were excited for me to let loose and have flex my newfound confidence as a man for the first time, and even though they were also drunk they made sure I stayed safe💙🩵
30:27 Alternate take, Nick changed his name to Brian. Due to the name change, they had to push back the date a few days to sort out some paperwork. And rather than paying to reprint all the cards, they just wrote on the existing ones.
maybe bc he is one of the serial killers
alternate alternate take, these signs were used at two separate weddings, and Courtney of Courtney and Brian stole the sign from Courtney and Nick's wedding to save herself some money
Alternate alternate alternate take, maybe for some really weird reason the year was in the middle and it was actually a four year gap between the weddings. And that way Courtney won't have to remember a new anniversary date
Alternate take: the day is 4 days later. Maybe the second couple asked to use the first one's sign.
Alternate alternate alternative alternative take: the wedding invitation was always supposed to say Brian but the sign was messed up and received too close to the wedding to get a corrected one so they improvised
Thanks for having me spuds! 🥰
Lovely to see you two together as always❤
This isn't like super happy but the happiest and most wholesome straight couple I know is my brother and sister in law. At their wedding there was a bad accident (slipped and fell while dancing) that ended up with the bride in the hospital. Despite spending a good chunk of their wedding night in the hospital when I spoke to them the next day, they were super upbeat and planning for their newly stay at home honeymoon and what they could do because SIL wouldn't be able to walk for a long while. Legit they were just so happy to be together and be married that despite everything they were both smiles.
My BEST GUESS for the Courtney + Brian/Nick thing is that they were actually two separate couples, and they just each had one part named Courtney. So Courtney and Brian were planning to be married on the 15th already, attended (other) Courtney and Nick's wedding on the 11th and just took the decor for *their* wedding too.
At least. That's my hope.
That would make sense!
That was my guess too. Either Courtney and Brian were guests at Courtney and Nick's wedding, and afterwards they were eyeing the sign like, "So you guys don't need that anymore, right?" 👀 OR Courtney and Brian are very creative dumpster divers.
Happy wedding moment to heal poor Shaaba's mind:
We had my 8-years-old niece and my best friend's sister (34yo) singing "I see the Light" from Tangled. They trained for 3 days to give us a perfect performance and I am so proud and honoured 🥰
Low budget wedding story here: my dad’s side of the family was always very poor, and my cousin finally managed to get enough money to marry and have a party after - and of course everyone in the family offered to help him pay for it, so he could save up to buy a house. It was a wonderful party with just the close family members in a farm where part of the family lives - so no spending with venue. He had lost his mother a few years ago and there were lots of things to remember her, including letters she wrote. Yesterday their first child was born.
A wholesome story of my parent's broke wedding: They did everything as affordably as they could. They planned just to forgo a reception due to cost. My grandparents on both sides wouldn't hear of it. So the reception was in one of their backyards, and my grandmas got together and made sandwiches for everyone like you'd get at a church function. It was just a backyard party, but it meant so much to both of them that their parents worked together for this reception. There is some evidence that weddings with smaller budget last longer, and I like to think my parents are an example of that.
When my daughter and son in law got married they didn’t want all the mess and drama that goes along with it so we arranged it to be at my house and we called all the important people they wanted and told them that hey we are having a barbecue and will be sharing some very important news and wanted thank all to come to the house for the barbecue at 330. All the food was taken care of and there was no expectation of the people coming having to spend any money. When everyone got to my house I asked them all to line up in certain positions and brought out the person chosen to perform the marriage and then I told them all to have a seat for the wedding of my daughter and son in law. Shocked so many people but we were told they were so grateful that it wasn’t something they had to prepare and spend money on and be stressed over or worried about drama. Then we had the barbecue.
I knew a couple who did something similar, long before I knew them, but they told me the story. They wanted their special people there, but they didn't want anyone to feel pressured to dress up or buy a gift, so they invited people over for a cookout. When all had arrived, the officiant dinged a fork on a glass to get everyone's attention, then launched into, "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today..." Everyone started looking around in surprise, but they just went with it.
In February last year I went to a wedding where they had a whole lot of second hand books wrapped in brown paper with a dhort description. Guests were invited to take them in a sor of lucky dip. The cake eas also book themed
Congratulations on 12 years you two, I hope that my partner and I can last that long. I'm so very happy for you guys 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵
As a kid I lived close to a church, and there was a tradition to throw candy after a wedding to the kids that randomly show up from the neighbourhood XD
So of course, I went there for a while every saturday or so to get some candy.
One week, I was way to early and arrived when the wedding was about to start, so I sat down on the church's outer wall (it wasn't high) to wait. But the father of the bride saw me and enthusiastically called me to come inside. I told him I wasn't part of the wedding itself, but he didn't cared! XD
So... I just sat there and was part of a wedding of total strangers lol
Also, years later, I was addressed by the leader of our gospel choir. (Outside of the songs, we weren't religious per se, just a choir) I was the youngest member of the choir at the time, yet he came to me and told me that a couple wanted someone to sing at their wedding. (or rather, the SIL wanted to surprise the couple, something along the lines - it's been some decades XD)
Originally, the bride would've wanted "My heart will go on", but the priest forbid non-religious songs, so I was supposed to sing Ave Maria. However, it was so on short notice, that there was no chance studying the song in time (I tried). So in the end, we (the girl on the organ and I) sneakily decided to ignore the priest and when the wedding day came, in the church, I sang "My heart will go on" and "I will ever love you". The priest couldn't do anything about it without destroying the wedding, so he had no choice XD HA!
My mom told me later that when she was asked to sing at weddings, this was a common theme, and she always ignored the priests XD
Shaaba! My uncle and I are super close (I don't have a relationship with my father so 🤷🏻♀️) and when they decided to get married, his wife wanted to make sure I felt like part of their family and asked me to be a bridesmaid. It was an incredibly beautiful day!
My baba (grandmother) got remarried when I was pretty young (7 to 9 about). She had been divorced, which was extremely rare in our family, and had lived a good majority of her life alone. Obviously as a child I didn't understand what a big step it was for her to remarry, but looking back I'm glad that my childhood ignorance could help. I knew my baba only as Baba. Much like like Mama and Papa I assumed those to be their names. I got separated from my family and was asking for my Baba, only for people to ask what her name was. I didn't know, and I was very upset. Later my mother found me, and I learned that my baba's name was... Rada (joy). She was always very sweet to me and asked me if it was okay she was getting married (on her wedding day so a little as a joke), I told her along the lines "Your name is Joy, so you should have as much joy as you like." She cried and I was confused as a child, but now I know lol
Each wedding is special!, sometimes for better or for worse lol
Both of you trying to defining a certain word had me rasping for breath 😂
The serial killer one is so disrespectful to the victims and their families
Can I just say Jamie and his wife arearriage goals? They're so cute! The way Jamie looks over at his wife and says I love you to her is so sweet. You two are gonna make me cry from the wholesome overload. 🥺
When my guy and I got married, we were a small group (20-ish people) of our closest relatives and dear friends, on a cozy touristy boat sailing down the Spree river (Berlin). There was an improvised DJ who tried his best to play some Latin American music (Latina bride, and it ended a hilarious anecdote that wasn't really his fault but we decided that nope, go back to pop please) and even though we couldn't afford an actual wedding cake, we ended up having the most delicious chocolate mousse cake I've ever tasted. Well, maybe it tasted delicious because we were happy.
Open casket *during* the wedding feels weird? Like, shorter ceremonies one before the other?
Our wedding cake had icing flowers that my Granny made for my parents wedding (they were preserved well and not eaten don't worry), it was such a special way of having her there although she had passed away
I had a variety of soft piano covers of pop songs during dinner. I even tucked a few ...questionable... choices into the mix, just to see who would notice. 😂
We did this for the pre-ceremony but with rock song covers. The last one before the processional was a piano version of ‘the final countdown’ made me and hubby laugh so much when we found it 😂
if I was invited to a serial killer wedding I would decline and then immediately go no contact with that person.
Wholesome wedding story, my BFF wanted my children (8M, 7M, and 4M) and me to be in her wedding, but she lived out of state and asked me to ask them for me. I called to tell her they agreed, and she asked if I told them she was marrying a woman; I said yes. She asked what they thought, and I said they are much more worried about if they were going to wear something ugly. For months I coached them; whatever the bride wants, she gets; it's her day. When they were about to walk down the aisle with my BFF's 3yr nephew, someone forgot to give the boys the lavender to throw for the bride. The eldest looked around, shrugged, and grabbed his brothers hands, and another boy grabbed the nephews hands. They walked down the aisle holding hands, and everyone said it was the sweetest thing. Including my bff.
19:25 PREACH! True crime has infested our brains. Also, a lot of them don’t even consult the affected parties.
My sister had that burnt orange color for the wedding party and some of the decorations. It was beautiful
My cousin had his wedding reception in a field they’d rented out. There was a tent up for sitting down at tables, a small hall that had a buffet laid out & you could mill in there loudly or got to the fancy tent. But there were also people wandering in suits, dresses & heels through the very muddy field (it was mostly mud with few patches of grass)
My cousin was over 6 foot & bulky, his wife was almost as tall. At some point I left the buffet to see a very big blundery man in a suit & a tall woman in full length with train white dress & heels on space hoppers in a muddy field.
He at one point fell off because everyone was laughing so much.
Her dress was lovely when it was white & covered in love & mud afterwards.
For my sister's wedding, we were going to do a sort of potluck (just the immediate family making a bunch of salads and cold dishes, etc), but two of the family friends who were invited, and who were very good home-cooks, asked to do the catering as their gift. Her hair, all our makeup, and the cake were also all gifts from various people. It was great for saving money, and it was so lovely to see so many people contributing their talents because they loved my sister and our family.
I have you covered Shaaba- When my aunt got married I was the first person she asked to be a bridesmaid. I was 9/10 years old at the time and was so excited. My mother was her maid of honor. All the other bridesmaids wore blue, I got to wear bright yellow. It was our favorite color. She called me her little sunflower. She had lived in Italy for 16 years, and I was her only neice. She has been one of the greatest role models in my life.
Great job knowing about Romanian wedding customs
another possibility for the Courtney, Nick, and Brian thing: there is a large market for second hand wedding stuff in the US because companies upcharge like crazy for anything wedding related. It's very possible that Courtney and Nick got married on the 11th and then sold or gave the sign to a couple who altered it (poorly) for their own wedding on the 15th.
We went to the registry and then went to a cafe for lunch with just our closest people as we didn't have enough space to host them at our place; I warned them that they would have to pay for their own meals & drinks as we are super low on funds, but they didn't have to pay beforehand! We had to get married to make our financial situation better (international marriage), but are hoping to throw a big party for all our friends when we are more financially comfortable.
My aunt got married on my 15th birthday and shes the only family member whose anniversary i remember and she has only forgotten my birthday once since. (It was a lovely weeding where all her kids sang for her and family helped set everything up)
Our favorite moment from our wedding was during the photos. My younger brother had run off but was needed for another picture. So while someone was looking for him I decided to just plop on the stage and sit because my feel were tired. I surprised everyone with abrupt plop and we all started laughing. At that moment my husband, mom, dad and maybe some others were yelling for the photographer to take a picture and that photo of me laughing while sitting in my dress, feet out to the side is still our favorite photo of the day.
My friend is super into horror and macabre, and her husband is as well. So they had their wedding reception on Friday, October 13, and it was a costume party (the official/legal ceremony was a very small, quick visit to the courthouse kind of deal a few months prior). They had tacky shame costumes from the dollar store for anyone who didn't show up in costume, but they didn't need to use them, because all the guests brought their A-game. The wedding party was dressed as the Addams Family. They had super old horror movies (like Nosferatu) playing on a projector during the dancing portion. It was really fun.
Avoiding the glorification of serial killers is why I like Criminal Minds, and how they always call the perp "Unsub" instead of giving them cutesy nicknames.
Wholesome wedding experience: My cousin got married a couple months ago and her and her husband’s vows were so cute and sweet. There was little jokes and very heartfelt words in both of their vows. It was a fantastic wedding all around as well.
my friend got married pretty young and back than i was still in uni and broke. they are Turkish and its traditional to give money or gold as a gift. I bought them a mug set for their apartment and wrapped it in gold-colored wrapping paper as like a joke.
Nice to see you both back for a video! Both of you are great at processing drama (like a certain podcast I know)
My initial thought was that "Courtney and Brian" Courtney and "Courtney and Nick" Courtney are two seperate women and they reused someone elses sign (that was left at the venue?) a few days later because they didn't have one and it said Courtney on it already
We have a friend who lost her father and two brothers in a car accident two years before her wedding. The wedding theme was baseball because the whole family loved baseball, but the father and brothers each liked a different team. So the guests were seated at team themed tables and there was a memorial for the corresponding passed family member. So the whole family, living and gone. Was there to celebrate with them on their wedding day
You have to do the wedding and then the funeral. Make it a Rocky Horror Picture Show reference.
I got married during lockdown in August 2020. The date was decided a year in advance, and we considered postponing the wedding, but decided to still get married on our chosen date, seeing as the point of the day was getting married and not having a party. We did an outdoors ceremony (luckily the weather was amazing), invited only our closest friends and family, and had a garden party in my parents back yard. We had plenty of hand sanitizer, and we all got tested in the days leading up to the wedding.
Looking back we are really happy with the way it turned out, as we had the most amazing time, and had time to interact with all guests there! Wouldn't change a thing!
I highly recommend listening to Jamie Loftiss' _Lolita Podcast_ for a really good deep dive into _Lolita_ and its cultural impact.
At a wedding I attended, rather than throw the bouquet the bride parted it out, giving some of it to each couple who'd been married more than a certain number of decades
I smile whenever Jamie says "my wife". You and Shaaba are so sweet together
Positive wedding moment: My cousin was in a marriage that wasn't great for a long time before she finally got divorced, and none of us were very fond of her first husband. Eventually she met and fell in love with her new husband, who my family adores. She looked so radiant at their wedding and he called her his princess during the reception which was just so sweet.
This concept was such fun! Definitely need more of this 👏🏽
My second wedding happened just after quarantine was lifted. It was May 9, 2020. We had 7 guests, and a shoestring budget. So we got married at the park, right next to the waterfall. Our reception was at the park as well. We had Kentucky Fried Chicken, with plenty of sides and drinks. The whole thing cost me around $250 including my gown that I bought on a discount site. I had the big wedding my first time around, and it was lovely and wonderful, but the small wedding was better in a way. Because we only had 7 guests we had handpicked them. My mom was dying, and unable to be there, but otherwise I was happy with who had come. Some people said it was trashy, no one invited though (at least not that I know of), and we did have an incident with the father in law, but in all honesty I loved it. The marriage didn't last, he was cheating literally the next morning, but the wedding itself was perfect I think. The first wedding I didn't know many of the people who were there, I felt pressured into spending a lot of time talking to people who knew my mom and stepdad, but not me. I enjoyed the first wedding as well, but the second was a small intimate affair and felt like a picnic and there was no pressure put on me to do anything besides provide the food, drinks, and all that.
My friend's brand new mother in law broke her hip on the dance floor at the wedding reception. Had a couple guys help her to a car and said something like keep having fun while I go to the hospital...
Just watched a video from 4 yr ago, and now 4 yr on your married, many congrats and you make a fab couple 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Wholesome silly wedding story. Not mine, but my friends.
They live in a small town, and rented a pavilion at the park for their outdoor wedding.
Their last names, when hyphenated in the right order make up a celebrity name. (not saying which one) They put them in that order when renting the pavilion without thinking about it, so, on the sheet where it tells people "Hey, these people rented the pavilion on this day, please stay out of it." It said "The Celebrity-Name Party" under their time.
They had a cosplayer of a popular character played by that celebrity show up to their wedding because the person thought that this celebrity was having a party of some kind in their tiny town. He stayed because it was too awkward to leave. But they laughed about it. Both my friend and her wife agree that this was "Stupid and hilarious in the most perfect way possible, and the only thing I'd change if I could do it again, is that I would have made the photographer get a picture of him."
My little sister was the flower girl at my aunt's wedding. She was about 3 or 4 at the time. The reception was at a venue along a river and my little sister went chasing after geese and got her white flower girl dress all muddy. There is a picture the photographer took of her grinning wildly as she climbs up the river bank with the front of her dress completely covered in mud. Everyone thought it was very cute and she had an absolute blast.
Positive wedding story: My cousin has always been a really sweet, quiet guy. At his wedding, he and his groomsmen danced their way down the aisle. They had a lot of fun with it and were clearly excited! Then the bride came through the doors. My cousin gasped and ended up falling to his knees with tears streaming down his face. One of his groomsmen helped him stand back up when the bride got close. They’re still happily married and about to welcome their third child! (Also they’re *wonderful* parents and I’m so proud of them both)
For wholesome wedding moments for Shaaba -
My Cousin had 4 badges on his suit, his dad, stepdad, grandpa & wifes grandma, who had all passed away & it was a really sweet way to have them there, they also had a little table next to the 'well wishes' with pictures of deceased loved ones & 'in memorium' to have them there too, very sweet, tasteful & wholesome
They now have a beautiful daughter a few months old 🥰
As soon as you said "Lolita" themed, I said, "OH NO!" - and then it was even CREDITED to Nabokov on the napkin! Jesus, Mary, and Joseph Stalin that's crazy!!!
I love the way you two reason through your reactions together.
Wholesome moment from my weeding. We made these soft pokeballs as center pieces and my Memere (grandma) started a wedding wide pokeball fight. She tossed the first one right at my uncle 😅 best wedding moment ever. She is a French 80 year old who started a pokeball fight that lasted threw the night. 🎉🎉
Cute wedding thing from my aunts wedding-
So I’ve been told all of this because I wasn’t born yet but my aunt and uncle got married on my older sister’s birthday (second or third I think) they had a tiny cake for her to celebrate her birthday as well as their wedding.
Where I live (in Sweden) it's not at all uncommon for people to ask their guests for a cover charge when you have a big party with more than say ten-twenty guests, marking some special life occasion. Importantly though, it is ALWAYS expressly stated IN THE INVITATION that you expect a cover charge with the RSVP and usually an account number for which to deposit the cash into. It would be bad form not to include the information about cover charge. Also, usually people write like "We do not want presents but please help us throw this party by depositing X sum in Y account before this date". Usually it's enough to cover part of or all of the food and drinks with the food. Then you may well put up a considerable sum out of pocket for venue and other drinks.
I went to a friends' doctorate party and paid her about €60, which included an amazing dinner and the pleasure of celebrating her great achievement. She had around 100 guests for this thing. Nobody would expect her to cash out for such a huge party on her own or to take out a loan. So basically it's like, do I feel that this sum is worth it to be able to go to a party and celebrate my great friend who did this amazing thing or is getting married or whatever.
It might be a bit less common for weddings, but for things like degrees and even birthdays it's not very uncommon at all, especially in the city where getting a venue is usually costly. Also swedes like not to feel like they have obligations toward each other, so that might be part of it.
When my husband and I got married he agreed to sing a song to me and he has a great voice and I was so excited. It was romantic and some guests favorite moment. He sang Music of the Night from Phantom of the opera. What our parents didn't know is we set up a secret rose ceremony to hand roses to our new in-laws. I gave a rose to my new Mother-in-Law and my husband to his new Mother-in-law. They were really grateful and surprised, and it was a way to start things off with a positive show of affection. I was very glad we did it.
My husband and I are also on team "had to postpone our wedding due to covid". Finding a venue after two years of cancelled weddings was a nightmare 😂 But we got to get married on our ten year anniversary, so it's not all bad ❤
At my sister's wedding, the groomsmen and I did one of the funniest things. She requested to do a lot of the traditional things in weddings and wanted things thrown over them when they came out of the church. I assume they were expecting the normal rice or birdseed but we had other ideas. There were a lot of little kids (5-12 year olds) at the wedding bored out of their minds. We sent them out into the parking lot while we were taking the post wedding photos to make snowballs (She was married in January). The groomsmen and I then snuck out because the photographer was in on it too and did the couple only photos last. We pelted them with snowballs when they came out, led by a charge of little kids. It turned into a whole wedding snowball fight with even the older members getting in on it since all the snowballs were premade.
On my wedding day, my now husband and I went to the mall to shop for my maid of honor's gift. We were in a rush because the wedding was approaching and we went to separate stores to look for gifts for my bridesmaid. While looking, our song came on the mall's music system. I ran out of the store that I was in and so did he. We saw each other down the long corridor and ran to each other because we both recognized our song. When we met in the middle of the mall we embraced and started dancing to the song. We drew a crowd and when the song was over we received applause. It was better than our first dance as husband and wife.
My wedding was persimmon and teal colors. I loved that y’all called it Gilmore Girls feel.
Tl; Dr- My wholesome wedding story is when my dad basically adopted one of his students and got to walk her down the aisle. I was a flower girl with my sister.
So, my dad was a band director until he retired and every now and then during his career he’d basically adopt a student, raise them, and release them in the wild like the Doctor does. He’s helped some people out of really hard situations by giving them a parental figure that they didn’t have either due to falling on hard times or just not having a good relationship with their biological parents. The first major instance my parents tend to refer to as their first born. If I remember correctly because I was very young at the time, her mom was raising first born on her own and so couldn’t always be there for first born when she needed to be. My dad filled that role (and so did my mom, when she could) and even walked her down the aisle on her wedding day. I was a flower girl, and it’s one of the few memories I have from that point in my life. She has two kids of her own now, and they’re absolutely gorgeous little girls. I’ve hopped on the whole first born and now grandkids thing and refer to her as my sister, her husband as my BIL, and her children as my nieces. I don’t get to see them very often because they live in a different state (I’m American) but when we get together it’s always amazing. Hoping to see them fairly soon though because my birthday just passed and I want to go up there for a small trip.
Five pin bowling is a big part of my Auntie and Uncles lives. When they got married, after the procession, we went to our local bowling alley, and every time someone g9t a Strike, that person would get to dance with the bride or groom. I danced with my Auntie 😊
Jamie, peppers are spicy. Thank Goodness you didn’t say bell peppers lol
Funeral and a Wedding: My great grandma passed Tuesday morning and the funeral was Saturday. A lot of people thought that was really fast, but the following weekend was Christmas and Nanny (what we kids called her) would have been PISSED if her funeral messed with Christmas.
My point is, you can have a quicker funeral to keep the service from affecting other, less-flexible events. It can and does happen. If they wanted the aunt there, then have a picture of her with a wreath (like a small version of the ones they use at funerals) sitting on a chair so she can still have a physical presence at the wedding. Having the funeral at the same time feels.... well, tacky.
.....I feel like I should be glad I'm never gonna get married, with all the fuss around it.
The font on the social media post about the serial killer one.💀
Regular reminder that you're all awesome, beautiful and valid little spuds, just the way you are ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 Love you all ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
I Love you both so much. Thank you for being in my Life. ❤
Hello
hello
Hiiiiii
heyy
Ahoy
OK, wholesome wedding moments: So, we married in a church and when asked what Songs we wanted to Play one of them was "Hallelujah". But I insisted to have the english version, the priest insisted in the german translation since "No one would be able to sing along to the english version". In the end we just agreed on playing only the Instrumentals. I wasn't satisfied but thought it's not worth fighting about.
So the day came, we where standing at the altar after my entry and the instrumental version of Hallelujah started playing. And my husband, knowing that I really wanted to hear the full Song started singing, barely loud enough for anyone else to hear, but I could hear it and I cried my eyes out (in a positive way of course). And yes, he ist a good singer.
"THEY'RE GONNA BE SPICY! Like a...pepper"
Funny wedding story:
There is a tradition in my family to pray before the meal at large family gatherings. I wanted to do this for our wedding, but I got very flustered at the start and asked everyone to "assume the position" to start the prayer 😅
The table of queer friends lost it, followed by the rest of our family and friends. It was funny and awkward and did a great job in breaking some of the tension of my large religious family and numerous queer folks at the wedding. My friends still bring it up all the time as a funny highlight of the event!
I always thought that the cash gifts were for couples to have a next egg to BUILD their new lives on.
If a bride has a bridal shower she normally receives the household items like an iron and ironing board, blender, etc. With the cash being given at the wedding.
These are BOTH voluntary not required. Not all of your friends and family can make those commitments ❤
As an infrequent viewer I wasn't aware you guys were married now. Congratulations!
Some of these themes show how completely un-self aware some of these people are. A Handmaid's Tale wedding? WTF!? Some of us are afraid something like that might actually happen in America! And they're making it into a joke!?
“You spend too much time on Love and Pies and June’s Journey” - I felt that in my soul 😂 glad to hear I’m not alone
i'm actually okay with a combination wedding/funeral, IF DONE RIGHT. it could really reinforce the celebration of life aspect of a funeral. but it's touchy for sure and also a very specific and niche vibe.
My great grandparents, my grandpa's parents, died in a car crash on their way to the wedding. They were married almost 50 yrs, only ending when my grandmother passed away.
The covid wedding one makes me so angry. A family friend attended her weekly church session... except a couple days before most of the people at the church had all gone to a wedding... the poor woman lost her husband and both his parents to covid due to that, they didn't know about the wedding until they got there.
Oh my god, I think I actually know the woman that did the serial killer wedding, lol. Former coworker, and I wasn't invited, but the engagement year sounds right as does the theme...
It's a weird one, but horror movies, serial killer dramas, and the like were always her passion. I'm glad it turned out the way she wanted it to, but yeah not my first, third, or twentieth choice. 😅
The serial killer one could have changed to fictional killers and horror characters like Freddy Kreuger and stuff and it would have been a lot less questionable. xD Using real life serial killers is... wow.
Tldr for ones Jamie left out: people really love oui'd and donald fart
Small wedding detail for Shaaba : most people in my family are short, so the table for singing the papers at my cousin's wedding was pretty low. However, the groom's best man is incredibly tall, so we got a great picture of the best man on his knees to sign the witness papers
Watching Shaaba struggle through this video was so funny 💀I'm with you girl, I just gotta pretend like its all fake so I don't loose it lol
Re: requesting $ to RSVP....
Yeah, so, like, my wife and I couldn't afford SQUAT for our wedding. We'd been trying to plan SOMETHING bigger, with more of our friends and my family (hers is mostly transphobes who disowned her) but couldn't make it work, even in a "potluck at the family house" way. Like, we couldn't even buy rings- my mom paid the $400 for our matching engagement/wedding sets (handmade by a small artisan jeweler, but out of white gold wire with amethyst and pink tourmaline, so minimal material cost).
Which is why we got married in my parents' living room in the best dresses we already had, with two besties, my closest family, and a good friend who happened to also be a Lutheran pastor with the ability to sign a Texas marriage license. Then, the 11 of us went to an inexpensive Italian restaurant for dinner.
The rings were by far the majority of the total cost, since rings, pictures, and the marriage certificate are (to us) the most important tangible objects you end up with after a wedding!
I learn so much from you two that I was startled at first that you didn’t know about “Lolita”. I read the book and saw the movie ( the movie is better). But holy moly, I’m more than forty years older than you!
My Uncle and his wife went with a Bigfoot and Alien themed wedding. Because he's this massive 6-foot something burly northwestern forest dwelling bumbling bigfoot guy, and she's this cute lil alien girlie who randomly flew down out of nowhere into his life and made it so much better!
Story for Shaba: I don't remember it (because smol), but at my parents' wedding I was a toddler just old enough to walk, and I wore a red and white dress that my grandmother had knit for me. When I was a bit older, I put the dress on my baby doll, and I have the dress to this day. 😁
I think the wedding + funeral thing isn't 'objectively' weird, but culturally. When you are born and raised in todays western society it seems like the most off-script thing to come up with. But that's just how we and (through forceful incluence) parts of the world we've touched, do it today.
For so many cultures and for such long streches of our ancestoral history, reverence of the dead was not something depressing. Sad, but full of meaning and joy and if humans have that capacity, they should feel free to express this emotional need and follow it. Karen doesn't care... but those who knew her and know she would have LOVED this, can have the good feeling of honoring her, instead of just being sad. If everyone invited was on that page... I think this has the potential to be a beautiful thing. Of course it's okay if it's not for you! I don't believe it would be comfortable for me. But as an autistic person I'm not comfortable in any social situation so I'm not judging either side.
Shabba, at the beginning: you do you!
Shabba, RIGHTFULLY so, halfway through: Do you have half a brain cell?!?!
😂 My thoughts exactly!!
Here's my wedding fail story... it wasn't horrible. But the wind decided to pick up that day. No one could hear anything of the vows and one of those tables with the umbrella went flying into the pool, leaving the concrete bit in the pool. Fortunately, that happened during setup, and not everything was out yet. And a kid fell in the pool despite all that it was a wonderful wedding. BTW, the kid was fine, just wet and embarrassed. We have been married 21 years, and he is amazing. So great that we had a vow renewal for our 20th. I was still trying to be female when we got married, so it was also great marrying him after transitioning. I'm ftm.
You guys are so adorable. And I thought me and MY husband were the cute couple. Dang it. Lol. ❤❤
