Congratulations on your wedding Carolyn. I loved how you broke from the traditional wedding and did what brought you two joy. It’s easy to get mired in what should be done vs. doing what you actually want to do.
Thank you so much! Indeed, weddings are when lots of requests and opinions manifest and we did make some concessions to accommodate our family members, and compromise is necessary sometimes. But overall we're really happy with how the day went and how it felt lowkey like us :)
Personally, I should have been more circumspect before I wrote my 1st comment on your site, when I didn’t preface my remarks/photos about my son being 30 and eligible, with the statement that I’m sure a person with your qualities was sure to have many suitors. And your husband is very, very handsome with a great personality to match, I’m sure! Mea culpa!!
I sent my son this link to the KPOP group, Epik High, many years ago, before he went to Coachella, when KPOP was going to feature for the 1st time; I’ll bet the dance floor at your reception was thumping and full of fun!! I see from the photo that it was!! (this song is cool, but inappropriate anywhere near a wedding): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3s1jaFDrp5M
YOU were soooooooo beautiful and full of joy!! Joy is all that a person can hope for on their wedding day and for the rest of their life.
“I rarely wear makeup day to day so getting this service felt like a real treat, and such a cute bonding experience with my family!” WOW!! That was such a great idea!!
Throwing a wedding ANYWHERE is difficult; but in NYC??? Impossible!! But you proved what Muhammad Ali said, “Impossible is nothing!”
All your planning advice is a primer on how to make decisions that will contribute to having a great wedding day and a great life together, to follow. I’m an old man and I’m looking forward to Part II.
So funny, JRB, I forgot all about that! 🤣 No worries. And love Epik High, great link! Thank you so much for your kind words, including the fantastic Jane Austen quote.
Thanks Kimia! A NJ wedding is definitely equivalent to a NYC wedding 😅 we looked at some venues there too and saw no price difference! Congratulations to you two and cannot wait to read your recap! Planning to go to the NYC Substack meetup so happy to trade more tips then :)

Congratulations and best wishes, Carolyn! And good for you re: opting out of traditions that don't interest you. 100% agree.
Thank you so much, Debbie! 💛✨
