Its MY day or it's OUR day. The day should be a reflection on ME or US not our guests

So the reflection you want your nearest and dearest to see is one of selfishness and no care for your guests comfort and time? Okaaayyy.

I actually agree that our wedding day was OUR DAY. It was a reflection on DH and me. Our reflection showed we cared about our guests as much as ourselves. Together as a couple we showed that life doesn't revolve around ourselves. We are better people because of the help of those around us who loved and support us. We wanted to thank them properly for making us who we are.

I'm going against the grain and say the wedding is about YOU. It is YOUR DAY and the day is REFLECTION of you has a couple. Your guests will walk away thinking your a selfish uncaring couple or they will walk away thinking you are amazing, caring, selfless couple.

Only you can decide which reflection you want the guests to see. Trust me they will see a reflection.

I read a post last night and someone started in on the whole YOUR DAY do what you want thing. Blah, Blah.

I admit I come from a different generation and most here. I just don't understand the concept of your first time being present as a married couple to society to come across selfish and uncaring?

IDK, I kind-of cranky today with all the sense of entitlement that goes on these days. I would much rather go to a backyard BBQ with no gap, sit on a picnic table with a self-serve keg than to the Ritz-Carlton after a 3-hour gap being served dessert only at 7pm and standing with a drink I had to pay for myself because there are not enough seats.

I just saw this. When I read the title, I thought to myself, "really only a couple of comments, this must have been an obvious troll." Well clearly, I was wrong. I love how you phrased it OP.

Thank you for this! I love the spin on this phrase! I'd even use it's "our day" meaning guests and loved ones included

I love this! Hopefully our guests can share in the joy of our new life together and walk away realizing now well they were treated

I clicked on this expecting a total hot mess, but instead I got a whole lotta truth. Preach it!

Thanks ladies. I was just cranky last night from all the "IT'S MY DAY and the wedding is a reflection of US". At some point overnight I started thinking "really? this is the reflection you want your guests to see? Really?"

I hope lurkers are reading this.

Amen Sister!

Yes, it's our day to show our family and friends the love we share and how thrilled we are that they've graciously given up their time for us. To have a PPD just is disrespectful of our family and friends.

But, I'm an old hag at 32, what do I know.
