Y'all;
Long story short, some of you noticed that I have been posting less these days and my participation in the forum has reduced quite a bit. The thing is, my boyfriend proposed to me in New Years Eve and we were scheduling the wedding for october/november, but
Beyoncé announced a new album and I want to be married before she leaves me bald my fiancé got a job offer in NA and we didn't want to delay it until next year, so we started kind of "rushing" to June/July. Three weeks ago we got a call from a friend (works at a five star resort by the coast, they're closed in spring but hold weddings, baptisms and other stuff) saying that a couple had to cancel their wedding because they didn't want to marry anymore and offered us to celebrate our wedding there at a discount. After thinking about it, we decided to marry on April's first sunday (so, this weekend). We already sent the invites and stuff, but we are overrun with problems. The planning is a mess and I'm getting married in less than 50 hours. We have his mother, my sister, my parents and our familiars trying to help but there's no coordination, it's a mess. I'm afraid that my wedding is going to end up looking like the ARTPOP era, so please save us. If you can give us your opinion on a few matters to help us tonight the final schedule I would appreciate it. Obviously, our opinion is what matters, but we are kind of desperate, so here's it. Please be respectful, I know some of you live in a basement with nobody to love, but I do have someone so if you are going to attempt a "drag" or looking for a fight , get in SYG and post "bleach" or something, do not vent in this thread please.
1. Who brings the rings?
Since we started to talk about a possible wedding, we decided that it would be cute if our dog brought the rings. We already trained her to do it and she has been with us so long that we want her to have some presence in the ceremony. But then my mother told me we should let my fiancé's son bring the rings instead of our dog, because it would seem like I'm giving a dog more importance to my life than my soon to be stepson. But here's the think, we already talked with him and he insits that he doesn't want to do it and wants our dog to do it. Should we kind of "force" him to bring the rings? I thought that one solution would be to have both him and our dog bring the rings. Do you guys like it?
my fiancé ethan and his son this past halloween
We contacted a priest who was willing to "marry us" (we obviously wouldn't be officially married by church, but I've always wanted a christian wedding and my fiancé agrees with me) but this monday he called in and asked for like, 2.000€ more or that he wouldn't do it. Do we pay him what he's asking? Just in case, a friend of mine has offered to marry us aswell so we wouldn't have to cancel the wedding. But you know, I've always wanted a priest to marry me, and I don't want to give up on my dreams. But I don't want to pay his shady ass seven thousand euros for reading the bible. What do I do?
3. It's going to raint this sunday
The weather forecast said that there's a 60% posibility that it's going to rain this sunday. And while the ceremony is indoors, the banquet was planned to be outdoors. My fiancé says that we should keep the schedule and keep the banquet outoors, but bringing awnings/canopies to stand under in case it starts raining, but that is messy and ratchet. The administration of the resort has offered us the large salon to hold the banquet indoors for a considerable price, but we need to confirm now if we want it to be ready by sunday morning. What do I do?
last night at the rehearsal, me, my fiancé and his brother
While we have the instrumental music ready and that is not changing, we kind of wanted a popular song to play during the ceremony. So we decided it would be Wildest Dreams, because the song was playing when he proposed to me and I stan for Taylor. The thing is, in my country you have to ask for permission to play certain tracks on official events like ceremonies, graduations and stuff, otherwise you get sued and likely into jail. Yeah, it's a mess and nobody understands this, but what can we do. This morning we received a notification saying that we couldn't use the copyrighted track because there's legal issues so we sent a list of songs to check if we could play them. We are deciding between three tracks, which hold so much significance to this event, so while we already have a favorite, I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask about it. For the record, my future step-son proposed Legendary Lovers and Never Ending (he likes to listen to my playlists so he likes those two songs), but I think it would be messy. Here's our three options:
5. The honeymoon
We aren't in a rush for this one, but I figured that I would like to hear your suggestions for our honeymoon. We didn't plan anything yet and a lot of members in here come from multiple nationalities, so maybe some of you can suggest an special place in your country that it's worth visiting to spend our honeymoon.
I would like to thank you all for the future responses. I know I might give the impresion of a fool asking for opinion on a serious matter in this very forum, but you know, I'm not losing anything asking about it and I know some of you love to plan your fave's eras, so why not plan my wedding? If you want to see pics of the wedding and I'm close to you in this forum PM next week and I'll send you a couple. Wish me luck with this one, y'all.
