Date:
25 September 2011 Angela & Glen had their wedding on a Sunday. It was a beautiful, very small and intimate morning wedding. I really love morning weddings so much. In the morning everyone is fresh and sound. The air is cool and breezy. The light is still clean and clear from dust.
Angela & Glen had their wedding ceremony at 10am in the morning at Onyati Adventures. A stunning and beautiful outdoor location at Avin Dam. It was a very small, intimate ceremony followed by a brunch and luncheon.
If you are not usually a morning person, you will probably be so anxious that you will probably get up early in anycase just to get ready and get going.
Sunday Morning Wedding Pros:
The light, the light, the light. If you're getting married in a beautiful place, or outdoors, the morning light is unbeatable, and you'll be able to see your surroundings for the whole party. We had sweeping mountains behind us, and trees around us, and it would have been a shame to waste that on the night.
You know how people say, "Oh, but no one will dance and drink at a morning wedding"? This is a lie. If you dance and drink, everyone else will dance and drink too. (though David pointed out if that IS true for you, you'll save money on drinks. Excellent.)
Afterwards. The strange thing is that when people voice concern about morning weddings, they normally ask you, "Well, what did you do afterwards?" Here is the scoop. Afterwards is *the best part.* We drove away from our venue, waving like crazy, at 2:45 pm. You know what we did? We went back to the hotel room we'd splurged on. We lounged around. We talked about the wedding. We giggled. We looked at our wedding rings. We blissed out. We went shopping at a used bookstore and bought books for our honeymoon flight. We went out to a really nice dinner, and I wore my wedding hair flower. We drank mojitos. We went to sleep. We woke up not-hung over. The after-the-wedding is the best part of getting married in the morning. Think about it this way: you're marring your partner because you like spending time with them. Morning weddings give you lots of time to hang out together, married, on your wedding day. And then you wake up sober and happy. What could feel better than that?
So, are morning weddings better than evening weddings? No. Evening weddings are fantastic too. But morning weddings are the unsung heroes of the wedding world. People tell you they are only worth it for the discounts, and I'm telling you that we got no discounts and we would do it again in a heartbeat. (Unknown Author)
