Has anyone here ever held an event at Nikolin's? I'm curious about the quality of their service and any other impressions you might have regarding the venue.
Thanks 🙂)
Dear brides,
What are your thoughts on traveling a bit further afield to get married—perhaps all the way from Appalachia? 😁
To whom am I even speaking? Everyone tells me it’s madness, but I’m originally from Appalachia and I feel a profound connection to my roots. My family back home doesn't really factor into the groom's side of things, but I’ve never actually spent much time in the Midwest, and their local wedding traditions seem quite foreign to me. So, I was considering having a morning ceremony, then heading out from Appalachia around 1:00 or 2:00 PM so we arrive just in time for dinner at his family's place in a small town in the American South.
It feels as though I might be the only one convinced that this is actually a brilliant plan! Haha. Naturally, my guests would need to depart early in the morning to make it to the Midwest in time.
I have heard plenty of stories about people in the Midwest traveling long distances for weddings. I was thinking the groom and some of his relatives (most of his circle is from my neck of the woods) could stay at my place, and then after the ceremony and lunch the next day, we could head back up north.
Oh, please help me decide—is this truly an exhausting ordeal for everyone involved, or is it something worth organizing?
Thanks for all the input! :-)
Good afternoon, Midwest residents,
I have a question. I am traveling from Appalachia, where there isn't any particular issue with holding a wedding on a weekday. However, my partner is from the Midwest, and I hear it is much more common here to schedule everything for a Friday or Saturday. Is that truly the case? Since most of our wedding guests are coming from outside the US, we should probably try to coordinate the ceremony with a holiday. What are your thoughts on scheduling it for Easter Tuesday?
