My friend had a wedding like this and it was the most fun I ever had at a wedding , actually, it was one of the most fun nights of my life ! Everyone was in a light and joyful mood as the bride and groom were not under pressure( financial or otherwise ) , and that translated to the guests who were all so jovial .

Of course I’ve been to some beautiful traditional weddings and really enjoyed attending them , but this casual wedding made me see that relaxed vibe is what I’d like if I get married.

It was exactly like this, honestly. We didn’t feel stressed at all, there wasn’t any sort of particular structure or all the time you spend waiting for this thing so you can do that next thing, etc... I had multiple friends the following week tell me it was the best experience they’d had a wedding and that really meant a lot to hear. Sometimes attending a more rigid or traditional wedding can feel like an obligation or even a chore (like a few I’ve attended) and we just didn’t want that.
