I loved watching four weddings while planning my wedding and in my head I pretended to be on it when I went to weddings :D once I went to a wedding where I had to pay for water during the 2 hour cocktail hour, that was at the bottom of my wedding list! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-going-to-weddings#post-270247 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 17:18:16 +0000 JessiBee 270247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love them...as long as I get to go with my husband! We usually have a great time dancing (not that well), if there's good music and a crowd on the dance floor. Our invites have definitely slowed down, though, and babies are more common among our friends, but we have two on the calendar: one we're still debating because it means taking at least a day off and an expensive weekend, and the other I'm a bridesmaid, so we're psyched and definitely going. I'm still hoping we can get to both...although I've never been to a wedding pregnant before! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-going-to-weddings#post-270239 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 17:12:47 +0000 sulli301 270239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love weddings! We have had to skip a lot lately due to DD which is absolutely okay with me, but when we can go I love them! It makes me want to plan a vow renewal so badly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-going-to-weddings#post-270163 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 16:07:57 +0000 photomommy 270163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a wedding photographer, so it's literally my job to go to weddings... I can't even remember the last time I've been a real guest! I might feel a little snubbed if they didn't want to hire me to be there anyway, ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-going-to-weddings#post-270057 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 15:15:17 +0000 Trailmix 270057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love.

And DD REALLY loves wedding. She has a blast meeting new kids and getting down on the dance floor. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-going-to-weddings#post-270011 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 14:38:45 +0000 Mrsbells 270011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do love weddings, althought after spending so much time planning my wedding i cant help but secretly criticize things in my head and immediately notice things that are wrong, which is so bad, its taken all the fun out of it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-going-to-weddings#post-270009 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 14:37:30 +0000 junebugmama 270009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: yep would have gone totally bonkers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-going-to-weddings#post-269379 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 08:37:56 +0000 mrs. bird 269379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: haha, it was certainly different! We had two weddings the same day! I remember your wedding from WB :) mostly because you're the only person I remember getting married where I live &amp; yours was so cool &amp; different! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-going-to-weddings#post-269361 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 08:28:00 +0000 Turd Ferguson 269361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, I don't love weddings... I see them as one of those things you "kinda have to go to." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-going-to-weddings#post-269357 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 08:27:42 +0000 LuLu Mom 269357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I enjoy weddings if I know people there, I'm like you and hate when there is no one you know to socialize with, especially if DH is in the wedding. </p> <p>Toward the end of summer I do get burned out if we have attended quite a few, but luckily this year things slowed down. The first couple years of dating we had at least 12 weddings a summer, it was not fun toward the end! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-going-to-weddings#post-269352 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 08:25:57 +0000 mrsjyw 269352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOVE :) for the most part. I've been to a couple weddings as a date where I didn't know anyone... so that wasn't as fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-going-to-weddings#post-269326 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 08:14:06 +0000 chopsuey 269326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to. Not since having my Lo though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-going-to-weddings#post-269325 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 08:13:19 +0000 rachiecakes 269325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no, I don't love it.<br /> I enjoy more spontaneous outings, more relaxed settings - even if they are dressed up. I love dressing up. I guess I just dislike the schedule and timing of every last detail. A lot of them just seem so .. forced? And that makes me uncomfortable. </p> <p>@mrs. bird: sounds like I would've LOVED your wedding! I think it's the unexpected that makes things fun :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-going-to-weddings#post-269215 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 06:46:05 +0000 mrs. bird 269215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugmama: you would have hated my wedding! :D my in laws were 2 hours late, the DOC showed up so late my dad kicked him out, it rained so we couldn't have our outdoor ceremony, the dress I bought 3 days before the wedding (seamstress trashed my dress &amp; I had to buy a new one off the rack) got covered in mud during the reception, they lost the ring bearer's birds nest &amp; didn't take the tag off his suit sleeve, the jr bridesmaids refused to take part in the pictures and snuck fuzzy slippers on before their entrance into the reception. I could go on, but I don't want to give you heart palpitations this early:D It was still perfect! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-going-to-weddings#post-269161 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 02:51:03 +0000 looch 269161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I could just go for the ceremony and cocktails and call it done. I really don't get the point of the dancing, it's the same at every wedding. </p> <p>In general, I agree 100% with Mrs. Wagon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-going-to-weddings#post-269152 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 02:29:49 +0000 heffalump 269152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends. Lately I'm excited for weddings because its an excuse to go on a date with dh, which I don't get to do often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-going-to-weddings#post-269100 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 23:38:21 +0000 junebugmama 269100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a wedding planner. Besides going to weddings I have planned, we have at least one wedding every month we have to go to. Honestly, a lot of times, they one's I didn't plan, make me cringe. I like going, but when things go against etiquette, become a mess, or run late, I want to fix it. I have a hard time just being a guest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-going-to-weddings#post-269096 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 23:35:40 +0000 banana 269096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i love it! havent been to one in a while tho. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-going-to-weddings#post-268979 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 21:53:56 +0000 aprk 268979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love weddings, but when it came times for ours, I really didn't want anything traditional. So weird that I love that for other people, but not for us. I think it's fun to just watch the happy party unfold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-going-to-weddings#post-268978 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 21:51:47 +0000 Mrs. Pen 268978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: aw sad! I've been a bm twice and I loved it. I get sad when my friends get married and I'm not a bm lol :) I am so excited for my bff to meet someone just so I can be her moh hahaha. well not just for that... but it's a perk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-going-to-weddings#post-268972 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 21:47:15 +0000 DillonLion 268972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't been to too many in my life (maybe 5 tops) and never been a bridesmaid, so I still love them and can't wait to be a bridesmaid someday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-going-to-weddings#post-268966 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 21:44:34 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 268966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>every wedding we've been to in the last 3 years has had a photo booth!! love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-going-to-weddings#post-268963 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 21:42:40 +0000 Mrs. Pen 268963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cowgirl: really?!<br /> In all the weddings I've been to, my wedding was the only one with a photobooth!!<br /> Our photobooth: </p> [attach=1597/12/m98nj5.600x418.photobooth.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-going-to-weddings#post-268915 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 21:22:14 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 268915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love weddings! But then if the food or the dancing aren't that great I get disappointed...but I'm still always glad I went. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-going-to-weddings#post-268910 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 21:20:31 +0000 SleepyMonkey 268910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i used to love it too...it was something new, i got to dress up and do my hair and makeup, and then party. now i've been to so many that they've lost their special-ness and i guess i've also become just an old fart too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-going-to-weddings#post-268905 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 21:18:24 +0000 mrs. wagon 268905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cowgirl: that new phenomenon has been quite fun!! In the wedding I was in this year, we got to take home a bunch of the photobooth props and now Wagon Jr. has a big collection of dress-up stuff. Hats, glasses, beads, etc. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-going-to-weddings#post-268901 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 21:16:58 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 268901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: you know it! and the photobooth. we've got quite the collection of wedding photobooth pics! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-going-to-weddings#post-268886 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 21:14:34 +0000 mrs. wagon 268886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cowgirl: our wave of weddings is FINALLY dying down... we've only been to one so far this year! let's just go to each others' friends weddings. You feel me on the cocktail hour food and cake though, right? Of course you do... I know you do. </p> <p>@mrs. bird: yes, it gets super expensive :( one of the weddings was for one of my close college friends, but it was in Hawaii and we just couldn't afford it. It was sad but of course they understood. And yes, anything that's not cookie cutter is so enjoyable for guests like me. Back in the day I loved the cookie cutter parts... but now I'm always looking for the unique pieces that show the couple's personality and thoughtfulness! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-going-to-weddings#post-268872 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 21:09:31 +0000 mrs. bird 268872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: 12 in one year! Wow! That would be expensive! I hope since there was almost nothing cookie cutter about my wedding that it was more enjoyable/interesting for guests. Ah well, they got free booze &amp; food for 8 hours (yes, we had an 8 hour wedding!)</p> <p>@Coco Bee: I think it'd be less weird to be totally alone rather than just DH who will be busy. I've only been to one wedding alone, I was single at the time, and I had the best time! If I were single, I'd go to every wedding I could! </p>
