… it doesn’t mean you should?
Wedding is tomorrow and the weather forecast is 12 degrees with winds ranging between 20mph and 40mph where we are, but no rain. I’m involved at the venue. Guests will be outside and suppliers/musicians are booked to serve/perform outside for the ceremony and drinks part. Everyone is likely to be absolutely freezing, yet the bride still “has her heart set” on an outdoor wedding. I just don’t see how anyone would enjoy standing outside for 3 hours in wedding attire?!
This is by far not the first wedding in similar circumstances, and won’t be the last. I have no say on the bride’s decision, but I’m putting it out here because I’m curious!
AIBU to think that the comfort of the guests and staff is more important than going ahead with an outdoor wedding whatever the weather?
AIBU?
To say that just because you can have your wedding outside in March…

It wouldn’t be my choice, but I’d take a coat and enjoy the day.

Just wear warm clothes. I don't see the problem.

I’ve always been of the opinion that I’d rather not have my “perfect” wedding day memory, if it comes at the expense of 100 other people having 100 miserable memories of it.

I’m struggling to picture what I own that’s warm enough to stand outside for 3 hours in this weather and suitable wedding attire!

Do you usually go to a wedding trussed up in your warm clothes? Most people usually dress up in something nice for a wedding
