I feel today is an appropriate day to discuss the people who decide to get married around Christmas time. Why is it appropriate? Well because a friend of mine who has lived in Vietnam the past several years is getting married today to a woman he met out there and quite frankly it’s a pretty tremendous and prophetic story. Not only has this guy landed a wife but he’s also succeeded in opening up a school and hosting one of the top-rated, literally, expat blogs out there. Sometimes averaging 500 pageviews a day puts my latest surge of roughly 35 a day to shame.With that being said, congratulations Ben and Huyen! To all else, take a look at his 1,000th blog here.
Now back to all other Winter Wedding-ites. Let me make this clear right off the bat:
I support the winter wedding. I do.
The idea of snow and photos and flowers and liquor and everything really goes well. However, it’s the people that decide to have their wedding within a day or two of the holiday that bother me. And it’s not just Christmas. It’s other holidays as well.
You’ll have to realize you may get some unhappy guests at this special day of yours. Are you prepared for that? People are busy around the holidays. And like I said, not just Christmas. They may have family in town. They may have kids in need of babysitting and that’s not easy on or around a holiday. Hotel rooms are more expensive. Travel is more expensive. So on and so forth.
I’m not saying you cater to your guests on your special day. In fact, I’m not saying that at all. It’s your day and whatever you want your family and guests should support. I just want you to realize you may not make that 150 minimum people mark like you promised the facility. I’m just sayin’.
Happy Holidays
