I had co-worker who's daughter did an 11 AM wedding and lunch. She said it was a great lower cost option. Did wedding venue in one spot, so no real fall off between wedding and lunch. Only caveat was in her experience, people in town and within an hour drive came, but no other OOT guests. I think it was around 60 people, but not sure. I was not invited.

i’ve been to one. it was fine. it could have just been the vibe of the entire wedding that wasn’t really my thing but it being during the day it felt like less of an event and more of just a celebratory meal. which is fine if that’s what you’re going for but it didn’t feel as special to me

then i think it’s a good call! the one i was at was still going for the night time vibe just during the day which felt off haha especially since the room had so many windows it’s not like it had the illusion of being night time

Went to one for a good friend and it was lovely. People could get a little toasted on mimosas but no one wanted to get wasted since it was still daytime so it was a really pleasant vibe. Then the young people went out that evening for the REAL party, which was super fun.

We’re doing this! Destination wedding with morning ceremony and lunch/brunchy reception. Logistics are a little more challenging due to the venue, but the venue is special to us and doubles as a family trip

I’m currently in a lease admin type role, in commercial real estate. I make a base salary of $50.5K with about $9k in bonuses. I’ve continuously received 7-10% raises over the last 3 years.

I’m the only person in my role at the company and have been a key person in developing our team as we look to expand. Is this unreasonable? Is there a normal increase given with promotions?

So my fiancé and I are having a microwedding in Rocky Mountain National Park next year, and we’re working with an elopement planner.
She sent over a sample ceremony (intro, sweet poems + passages to be read, and example vows), and we read through it last night.

I’m just really happy that I found someone who is willing to take a vow to spend his life with me and I’m so excited for that day :)

Hi everyone - We are thinking of changing our wedding photographer after unsatisfactory engagement photos and unsatisfactory communication (unresponsive after multiple attempts). We paid a $450 retainer which we know will be not refundable. However, we are not sure about other liability as we read our contract and found these 2 clauses (in comments). Please advise! Definitely not happy with her and would like to switch to another one but also want to make sure we make the right move. Thanks!
