Wedding Related - What the most important thing?

Of course the actually exchanging of vows and being completely commited to your life partner that is most important but I am wondering what really makes you go, "that was really nice wedding."

In your opinion is it the food, atmosphere, entertainment, the feeling injected into the wedding etc?

Re: Wedding Related - What the most important thing?

  • a swift ceremony and an open bar.
  • I think everyone would have a different answer to that question. Whenever the subject of weddings comes up, one of my friends still tells me more than five years later that the food at my wedding was awesome, which is nice to hear. My grandparents, on the other hand, appreciated that I didn't have loud music. :p

    For me, I think any one outstanding feature could do it, but I guess my general answer would be "atmosphere" -- everything looking pretty, enjoyable music, etc.

  • Food, good booze and good music. Oh and short speech's.
  • Good food (people are still raving to us about it), a nice ceremony (mine wasn't short at all - 1 hour mass - but lots of people commented how beautiful it was) and most of all, a great couple!

  • People always comment how great our wedding was, and honestly other than a few personalized things, our wedding was pretty middle of the road, average hall in a strip mall, only flowers for the wedding party, hand-me-down decorations etc)

    I think what people really liked about it, was that DH and I were super happy (smiling all day), really enjoyed ourselves, and everyone felt this love/happiness/enjoyment.

  • As the one who's not married and not planning to get married largely because I do not like weddings or even the idea of them - I feel wierd answering.  But...

     I think its nice to know that the wedding is YOU... not some preconceived notion of what everyone thinks it should be.  i.e. I know folks who had a picnic with friends and family and got married.  I know people who buy into their heritage and have the big Italian wedding.  Regardless, how different each of these weddings were - they were both special because they were really about the bride and groom!

  • The most important is that the wedding is a reflection of the Bride & Groom combined with good food & music I think will set the atmosphere for the wedding overall and everyone will have a good time!
  • I really remember peoples food and the party afterwards. Where i'm from a wedding is not a wedding without a huge dance! I always look forward to that.
