M.E.O.W. brings you October's Getting to Know You!

Recommended Posts

I've been to two that I can think of.  First one was a friend of my brothers; was in a backyard and was medieval themed (for the bride and groom).  The reception was indoors.

 

The other one was a windy rainy day at a gazebo at a town park.  Me and another guest ended up driving to home depot for a few sheets of plywood to cover the mud puddles on the path to the gazebo to keep the bride from getting her dress/shoes muddy.  Reception was afterwards at a restaurant, followed by the bride and groom serving pints of Guinness from behind the bar of their favorite bar.

I don’t think so . . . ?

I have not been to a lot of weddings. Many of them were (redacted timeframe) ago; dredging the rememberations up out of the murk is difficult.

I think I would if the weather and local insects did not make it horrid.

Welcome to October! Quizzle for October 1 & 2:

Yep, been to several including my own. 

 

I don't think I've ever been to a wedding I didn't enjoy. There's typically free food and booze, folks dancing, and everyone is happy. Weddings are great. I'm currently tapped to be the best man at a friend of forty year's wedding next fall. I can't wait. Wish more of my friends would get hitched so I could attend more of them!

Not that I can remember. A couple weddings (including my own) had photo shoots outside, but I think all the ceremonies and celebrations were indoors.  

 

I only had one friend who had a lavish wedding party, and remember that their photographer was a jerk and they got over charged for the food that was served. Happy for the couple, but "meh" for the experience.

That would've been my brother's wedding about 20 years ago.

 

It was a lovely summer day too. Two things I remember about it was my SIL's long wedding dress train, and my sister who was 8 months pregnant and one of the maids of honor.

Yup, tonight went to an outdoor wedding and reception that was beautiful. Venue was lovely, food was great and such a great couple.

Yes, I've been to a few outdoor weddings, some were enjoyable, some were not so enjoyable

We were meant to have an outdoor wedding, but had to go to our backup plan due to the weather...at least one of the non-enjoyable outdoor weddings was such because the persons didn't have a backup plan for weather.

1: Yes, I have been to a couple of outdoor weddings.

2: It is hit or miss. My SIL's wedding was outside in a rose garden and it was like 90*F outside and it took Forever. The reception venue which was on the same property was not air conditioned and only had a couple of standing fans for like 100+ people in a room that probably shouldn't have held that many people.

 

ETA: It was a nice ceremony it was just too hot to be outside.

I have been to many, many weddings in my life, but I do not recall any of them ever being an outdoor one since prairie weather is fickle. Every single one of them also had the wisdom to have a cash bar.

 My brother's wedding was outdoors... It was somewhere up in Massachusetts, on an old bridge over a river that had been turned into a garden. It was a nice day for a wedding.

 

I'd post a pic of the place, but all my pics are disorganized these days.

I was going to say no, but then I remembered one.  The weather was good and it was short so I suppose I enjoyed it as much as possible.

Just the once, as far as I recall…my wife and I got married in July 2020, at the height of the plague, so it was a small event on the front porch, followed by dinner on folding tables on the lawn.  I probably enjoyed it more than something more elaborate, being somewhat minimalist in non-hobby areas of life.

Actually I have been to several.  The most Favorite being my Brother's an early October Wedding in PA with the Fall foliage, and autumn decorations of corn stalk, straw bales, pumpkins etc.  The wind storm the night before play havoc with the tent and resulted in a scramble by the tent company to get back out and reset the tent prior to the weeding.  I have enjoyed hte others as well.
