Weddings

I can't wait to pull my dress out and try them together.

Also grateful that she purchased them for me <3

Now I need to not wear them for an entire year so I don't ruin them!!!

(Also, forgive my toe nails. My backcountry ski boots did not treat my toes well this past spring.)

I didn't think this would make me so happy but my sister and fiance were chatting in our family chat and he was talking about joining her to watch some violin videos on YouTube of her favorite violinist.

And she texted in there with my parents and him "Sis, marry this person! He's pretty cool."

And it means a lot to me that my little sister approves of my boo.

Hi all!

My partner and I were married in a super small ceremony yesterday. Attendants included our two witnesses, a dog, the photographer, and the officiant.

It was done in the backyard of my best friend’s mom in another province from where we live.

We had a month of planning, and everything turned out perfectly even though it seemed like a rough journey. It turns out I could not have planned a better day. The weather was amazing, the location ended up blowing our expectations out of the water - plus two of their neighbors also offered up their yards so we had an arbor and plenty of gardens to use for the photos.

Everything went so smoothly with the exception of one thing - but that was totally out of our control:

(It looks like I’m coming down with shingles so I was in quite a bit of pain)

We’ve been together six years and the only people we told about the ceremony aside from my best friend and company, was my mom because I needed her help in the planning and executing. I rented the dress from someone in the province sight unseen, did my own hair and makeup, my mom made the cake and I decorated it myself the day before the wedding.

We had a lovely dinner at a local restaurant and they were super sweet.

I wouldn’t have changed anything - and I’m so happy to be a married woman.

Hello Lemmy Weddings! When I started this community I made a low effort drawing of a lemming in a veil to use as an icon, and now that we've grown to almost 3 dozen subscribers I think we should put something a little nicer in place for our icon and banner!

Actual image submissions are welcome, as are ideas (I have some digital art ability and can whip something up if needed).

Next up on my list is picking bridesmaid dresses. I really like the idea of mismatched colors but I'm even starting to lean towards mismatched patterns! I'm not sure if it would look odd in a small bridal party of 3 women and 1 man though, so I'm going back and forth.

As a huge fan of the royals, it's gotta be Prince William and Princess Catherine's for me. It was just so classic and fairytale-like. And who doesn't love Catherine's wedding dress? I remember every bride afterwards wanting her dress to be just like Catherine's.

For a while the idea of going to New Zealand for a honeymoon was stuck in my head (in part because fiancé and I really like Lord of the Rings), but I think flying there from the US right after a wedding would be miserable for me. So instead we're playing it easy and going to Disney! It'll also be my first time ever going there :3

I am so excited, my boyfriend and I have been planning to get married relatively soon but 'engagement' was too heavy of a word for 'someday somewhat soon planning to get married' and I've just been informed that I will be getting a ring and a proposal in the near future~. This is such a big deal because my man isn't super traditional or sentimental but it's such a big deal to me so to be able to have a proposal and engagement is sending me over the moon right now and I just need to share <3 He's going to surprise me too, which I'm so excited about. It's time to binge Say Yes to the Dress and make my mood boards!

I’ve always enjoyed these but I’ve seen them at every recent wedding I’ve been to and I’m trying to figure out if it’s worth having one. Have they gotten old in anyone’s opinion?

Pimm’s Cups are special to my fiancé and I but we’re trying to figure out if we can make it work as a signature cocktail given all the garnishes! I think if we pare it down to just a cucumber slice or mint sprig that it’ll be doable.

Making my mood board was a super fun exercise in visualizing what I want for my wedding! Definitely helps with making decisions on smaller details

What dress did you wear to your wedding? What's your dream dress or style?

Spring, summer, autumn, or winter?

For me, it has to be mid-spring because of the romance in the soft color palettes and the delicate spring flowers.

Howdy!

One of the things I'll miss from Reddit is reading through all the discussion on the wedding subs, so I created this community here.

The next thing on my and my fiancé's to-do list is cake tasting, and I'm mega excited to try some flavors and pick one out!
