Brides and Grooms Want to Know – Wedding Questions and answers
Question:
What are wedding reception ideas for outdoor weddings and is it expensive?
Answer:
My Granddaughter just got married in a garden wedding. Her wedding reception ideas are perfect for any outdoor weddings such as a garden, a beach or a park. It was an awesome wedding and not counting the attire, was inexpensive. It cost less than $2,000.
What I can relate is the story of my granddaughter’s wedding in 2021 from all places in New York.
My granddaughter and her then fiance are students with very limited finances. With the Corona virus overhead, they decided to have a garden wedding. the ceremony took place in the early afternoon, under a decorated stand. The reception was in an outdoor tent. The guests came to the wedding from all over the country (California, Colorado, Texas,Tennessee and of course New York) to witness and celebrate. They wanted to enjoy the newlyweds very special day, and each other. So, there was no entertainment. It would have been illegal under Gov. Cuomo. The tent was decorated with flowers and centerpieces. There was champagne, wine soft drinks, coffee, and lunch platters (From a restaurant). Also, fruit and finger snacks were served buffet style.
It was a beautiful wedding filled with love and joy.

Question:
What do you do when you’re at a wedding venue and the glasses and cutlery have lipstick marks and food stains on it?
Answer:
Don’t panic. Lift the glasses and cutlery and quietly walk over to the venue’s manager and request an exchange to CLEAN glasses and cutlery.
Never tell the wedding hosts about your experience. No one needs to know that there is a problem. This is a wedding, it is a happy celebration don’t spread a gray cloud over it.
Yet, I am sure that the facility’s manager will honor your request without any fuss or fanfare. They thrive on satisfies customers’ endorsements for repeat business.
Question:
wedding is beautiful. Why is marriage and parenting difficult?
Answer:
A wedding is beautiful indeed, Marriage and parenting are what you make of them.
Of course, they may pose difficulties and all marriages and child rearing have their difficult moments. You cannot escape them!
The key to a happy rewarding marriage is to look at the entire picture.
My husband and I have been very happily very married for 55 years.
we went through some very tough times but what may weaken some marriages (Unemployment for example) strengthened our commitment, support, and understanding of and to each other.
As to parenting, here too it is part of the process to go through some rough spots.
However, there are many rewarding events too. Lifetime celebrations, fun family times, special achievements, successes and the accomplishments that make it all worth while.
When you look back as we have, now that we are great grandparents, we hardly remember the difficult times.
So, my suggestion is that you should work to resolve the difficult times but concentrate on the rewarding aspects of your “Married with Children” life.

Answer

Since Biblical days as far as Eliezer asking Rebecca’s father to agree to her marrying Isaac, the groom (or his representative, relative, friend or a Match Maker) asked the father of the bride for her hand in marriage. In other word the bride was given to the groom. Additionally, tradition called for the bride’s family to put on the wedding, complete with planning and paying for it. They were also the ones sending out the invitations, So since they were the invitees they did so by wording it Mr. _____ and Mrs. ___ (inviting words)
to the marriage of their daughter _____________
to Groom’s name _______________
Son of______________________________________________
Today, many but not all brides and grooms, rather than the parents, plan, pay and invite their guests to their wedding and word their invitations as they see fit. Yet many carry the tradition of the bride’s name first.

Question:
How big of a wedding cake do I need for 100 guests?
Answer:
Usually three tiers will serve 50 to 100 guests. If you want to keep the top tier, you will need four tiers.
If you are on a budget, you may want the have a small wedding cake and save money as wedding cakes are quite expensive. The guests’ cake servings can be cut out of plain but frosted sheet cakes. The guests will not know the difference. You will probably need 3–4 but they will cost a fraction of the cost of a wedding cake.
