Winter brides!

Groom here. We got engaged in December so winter gives us a year to plan. We didn't want to stretch it another 4-8 months. Plus, bride has seasonal allergies and I'm a hot mess in the summer lol.

Bride is Brazilian so we had some push back at first from family lol. But the cost savings quelled that.

We chose the winter because it went with our theme, it was also cost effective. We love the winter time, and the falling snow. None of our close family said anything. They liked how it was different than what most brides do. We are having an indoor ceremony and reception. For our vendors, we made sure they were in close proximity. Our photos are going to be outside and inside as well.

That was supposed to say buck and doe! eek

We choose a Winter Wedding because we didn't want to wait till Spring, we want to go somewhere warm for our honeymoon the day after we get married and the venue we want had a wonderful Winter special on. I'm finding myself thinking a buck and die and the rehearsal dinner will be more difficult because of the Weather. I am also concerned about photos. Our date is March 23, 2019 in Barrie at The Barrie County Club.

We picked a winter wedding for 2 reasons. First we didn’t want to wait until next summer, we want to be married now lol. And we picked the Saturday between Christmas and New Years because people in our families that live out of town (my step son, nephews etc) will be here anyways for christmas.

We don’t really care what anyone thinks about the date we picked. It’s our wedding and if they don’t like it, that’s their problem lol.

One thing we did do is plan for both the ceremony and reception to be at one location, a hotel. That way people don’t have to travel between locations, I can get dressed there and not have to go outside at all, and people can spend the night there.
