What day of the week are you getting married?

We are getting married on Saturday

C. Saturday

A. Friday evening

We are getting married on Canada Day so this year on a Friday, It made it easier for our out of town guests to have time to travel and not feel rushed.

A. Week day. Friday , that’s all my venue had left and I booked last February 😅
I’m a bit nervous for the rehearsal dinner on Thursday if people will be able to book off work or if they will be late! I understand these things happen and people have lives! Just makes me a little anxious for the day of I hope the ceremony will run smoothly! 😬😬

D - the Sunday of the August long weekend. I had a lot of anxiety about having our wedding on a long weekend in the summer but all of our VIPs were available and excited! We are looking forward to spending some quality time with our guests!

We are getting married on a Saturday

C - Saturday

We are having a Saturday wedding! August 18, 2018.

Although the most popular and expensive choice, it is that way for a reason. We have many out of town guests from Toronto, and the US that will be travelling to Ottawa. Having our wedding on a Saturday means not everyone has to take Friday off to travel, as my Toronto guests can easily drive the 4-5 hours to Ottawa the night before after coming home from work, or the morning of the wedding day (our ceremony is scheduled for 5:00pm).

B: Sunday wedding

C Saturday

It's a community hall in a small town that I grew up by. I'm a stay at home mom so I'll have whomever is available come help me set up Friday. I'm sure I'll have a crew my family is awesome!

Wow! That's great Ami! In what kind of venue did you get that deal? Will you take a day off from work to set up on the Friday or will someone be helping you out?

If we did a single day it would be one amount, but booking for the full 3 days is cheaper than paying for just the 2 days. So Friday will be set up, wedding will be Saturday and Sunday can be clean up!

You'll see at the bottom of every discussion, there's a link to guide you to the following question and make it to the end of the quiz.

How many days do you have left before the big day?

Hi Ami! That's amazing! So it's the same price for a Saturday and Sunday wedding?

I choose C to be married on a saturday

I would like a fitted dress to suit my curvy body that flows a bit at the bottom, but not a train. I like dresses from Christiane Brunelle

I would like to get marries on a saturday

Saturday - the hall we are booking is only $300 for Friday through Sunday though

I absolutely love pasta! We might incorporate it, it all depends on what we finally settle on

Hi Cheryl

I guess that really depends on the type of food you want to have on your menu! And also your budget of course!

What's your favourite food? Maybe you could have that on your menu?

We are on the fence on catering and cooking it ourselves now, we're both very indecisive on plans!

I'm sure that will still be a lot of fun Cheryl!

What type of food would you like to have? Will you be cooking everything yourself with your family?

What happened with your potluck idea?

I love the rustic elegant style Michelle!! I think it's one of my favourite! They can really be mixed together and I love the natural feel it has. Not sure if I asked already, but what type of venue did you choose?

I love ideas 2, 4 and 8.
For me flowers are always so important and what makes me happy. My fiancé said "centre the wedding around what makes you happy". Originally I hated that. I hated that he wanted me to plan everything. I consider myself to be an "alternative bride" that way. I would rather spend money on a down payment on a house and have our wedding represent us than have myself be the focal point. BUT he is wonderful and wants me to be happy. So botanical and whimsical it is with Easter eggs (hidden treasures) of mutual nerdyness.
I am not very crafty so my DIY's come from my very creative and talented friends. A friend of mine who is a graphic designer and artist is hand drawing my invitations, then we will make prints of the original. She also volunteered to do the script for any chalkboard writing for dessert tables.
For centrepieces my wedding party and other close friends are making terrariums.
As for flowers have chosen in season peonies, and originally had chosen the (what I think to be the most WHIMSICAL flower) King Protea. Which I would have in my bouquet only as well as silver dollar eucalyptus and seeded eucalyptus. Though thinking about it more I have decided upon another whimsical flower. The dinner plate Dahlia It's huge!! And beautiful. And other gorgeous flowers.
We were originally going to have Donuts for dessert. However I could not decide on flavour and missed the topper. That saddened me.
Now we are having cupcakes and the deal comes with a topper, mini cupcakes and GF cupcakes. Our tasting is in 2 days. I am excited.
Has anyone else Registered for photography? Or a honeymoon? I am trying to figure out how to do that. It's me and my fiancée third year of living together. We don't need much but to save up for a house and big ticket things like Photography and Honeymoon definitely put a damper on them.

August long weekend. We are thinking the 4th.
Although we may change to the 5th on the Sunday. But we still aren't sure yet. Lots of time to decide

C. SATURDAY!

Yes that's what I was thinking, gives everyone some time to be prepared for the big day!

I think I will be going for more rustic, with a little elegant or the other way around! not totally sure yet.

Sadly no, it's just a short dinner to celebrate

That's great Michele! Great timing for everyone to get ready and arrive on time!

Will your reception last until the next morning?

I can't wait to see what you have planned for your wedding!

Do you know what style you are going for? Is it more elegant or rustic?
