This is a new one.

Brie2010 · January 2010

A FB friend of mine posted an album of pictures from their friend's outdoor wedding. On the east coast somehwere, in a blizzard. They are literally having the ceremony outside while the snow is dumping buckets on everyone. And there are no chairs for any of the guests. There is a picture of a very frozen looking grandma.

What's the point? Seriously? The pictures are kinda cool, until you realize "wow, that looks really unpleasant."

That would really suck and I'm quite accustomed to snow and cold.

beatlesgirl25 · January 2010

Well you wouldn't want people to sit on snow-covered chairs brie. That would just be rude. Oh wait.

goheels05 · January 2010

That's awful. I'd take my gift and go home.

ggmae · January 2010

Brrrrrrrr. I wonder if guests were told of the outdoor ceremony beforehand.

AmoroAgain · January 2010

That's just ridiculous. Even for 15 minutes, that blows. No way would I attend that. I'd sit my butt at the reception venue or somewhere else until it was over.

pandasquishy · January 2010

I bet they thought it was okay if they provided some luke warm hot chocolate for guests to drink beforehand. Can you post a picture on here of it?

My cousin did that. Outdoor wedding in the mountains in Montana. It was late October. It rained. It was SO COLD. I had to take three flights to get there from Chicago. There weren't enough chairs for all the guests at the ceremony (as family, we got to sit. I felt so embarrassed.)

My elder cousin (who got married outside, in October, in Maine) asked me what I'd learned from the two weddings. I said, "mine will be indoors."

My father swore he was never attending another wedding that wasn't in a transportation hub.

It looks like a super-casual JOP thing, B&G are in pea coats and boots over a suit and dress, maybe 10-20 guests. But still. Go outside and take pictures in the snow if you want, but don't make everyone else freeze! Especially grandma.

Proof:

RachNRich · January 2010

It slightly reminds me of Phoebe's wedding, from Friends....which I thought was very pretty. But obviously that snow was fake---so, there's that.

alixzafiris · January 2010

I'd have been pissed if I were a guest. I'd never think to show up to a wedding in boots, so I'd have been an unhappy, cold, mess.

beatlesgirl25 · January 2010

Oh wow, that just looks miserable for any day, let alone a wedding day. Those poor people.

Yeah, and it wasn't blowing at them at a 45% angle either. That's a straight up storm, yuck. I'm sure everyone's hair looked fantastic for the reception.

Me too, Amoro. We can have a mug of hot chocolate (or a hot toddy) while they freeze.

mrsamyjones · January 2010

too cold for me...

</div><div>Another plan foiled. But for real who thinks it's a good idea to have an outdoor ceremony in freaking Jan on the east coast? WTF is wrong with people? Yeah it looked cool on Friends, but that is a TV show.

mwhitson14 · January 2010

Wow I wouldn't be happy at all. In fact, if I got there and realized it was outdoors, I'd go sit in my car until the reception. Or leave entirely.

<div>Exactly. I would NOT have an outdoor ceremony (in the Northeast) any month except May-September. MAYBE late April. But only during the day. Hell, I wouldn't do an outdoor ceremony in Los Angeles in January unless it was during the day. The locals have thin blood and it gets much cooler at night because of the geography. </div>

TurtlesAllTheWayDown · January 2010

Oh, and what were the couple wearing? I sure as hell wouldn't want to wear a parka and snow boots with my wedding dress. And what a way to mess up a train.

JanoBean75 · January 2010

Ugh. Makes me want cocoa NOW and I'm sitting in my warm apartment.

thesuninherhead · February 2010

Much like the pictures I posted of the wedding on the beach in the storm, by the sounds of it!

This is a new one.
