Beach wedding: "yes, do" or "please, don't!"

Have y'all every had beach ceremonies?  I'm worried about my favorite old people making it over the sand!

Thanks!

  • I think it depends on the beach and how agile your favorite old people are.   if you are really far away from parking, and the walk over the sand is far...  I think that is a bad idea.    If you have people in walkers and wheel chairs, it's probably a bad idea.
  • Personally, I hate the beach. More correctly, I hate sand, and how it gets into everything and makes me feel dirty until I can have a shower. But if someone close to me got married on a beach, I'd try to suck it up. If you like the feel of the beach but are worried about older relatives, maybe you could find a venue with a pier or patio overlooking the ocean? It would give you the beach/coastal feel without worrying about the sand and mobility issues.

  • My coordinator in Bermuda carefully asked me if we wanted a beach wedding.  When I said no, she breathed a huge sigh and said "Oh good!  We offer it, but they are just no fun.  It's windy, hard to hear, and sand ends up every. where.  Beach weddings are only good in theory."

    We married on a deck of the ocean - still somewhat windy, but no sand factor.
