Continuing from the subject of Winter Hen Parties i thought i would write a few thoughts on Christmas Weddings. Although i can see the magic of getting married at Christmas i also feel that perhaps the day would be in danger of being a little overshadowed. Especially if the wedding is taking place on Christmas Eve.
At this time of year, more than any other season people are busy and preoccupied worrying where they are going to sit Great Auntie Ethal for Christmas Dinner and what to buy for the computer nerd at work who they got stuck with in The Secret Santa. Is a wedding really going to be top on their list of priorities. IE) shop for wedding outfit or shop for kids Christmas presents. This also leads me to the next point regarding cost. Christams is the most expensive time of year and we all know that weddings are up there with the cost of a weekend away so put them both together and i think people would feel the strain.
I think one of the most enjoyable things for the bride and groom about planning their wedding is the whole fuss surrounding it and how it is an event that everyone is looking forward to and planning for. I would be concerned that the focus of all my guests would be on the mammouth task of organising their family Christmas, especially if they have young children.
Having considered all this i still believe the actual wedding would be truly magical, snow falling, mulled wine to drink, carol singers and what better present to receive on Christmas morning than everlasting happinesss with your one and truly.
