3 day wedding??/!!

Please don't do this to your guests. No one wants to spend this much time on a wedding lol

I guess who ever shows up shows up.. his stuck on the idea of a 3 day wedding..

What on earth does he want to do for three days

I was thinking of having a huge 3 day wedding also. But it's too much stress. We decided not to. Just talk to him. Show him the pros and cons

I'll give my advice on a TWO day wedding I went to.

I'm a college student right now and the reception/ceremony was two hours away from my house. I happened to have a study I couldn't get out of the second day so staying the night as not possible.

So, the wedding started on a Friday night at like 5. Which means I drove at 3 straight from school and then that night just got home in time to go to bed. The next day, I woke up, did all my lab stuff, then made the drive again at around 3 or four just to go to the reception and get home just in time to sleep.

There were a couple things that made this really hard:

1. It was expensive for me. 8 hours of gas and I also took off TWO days of work for it, which adds to the expenses.

2. As a full time student, I use my weekends to get things done, and it was hard to have a whole weekend focused on the wedding.

3. It was really hard to be SUPER excited the entire time, and to keep on the same dress for basically two full days.

So, I'm not a HUGE fan of the multi-day events, even if it does seem less stressful at the beginning.

That's Woodstock, not a wedding.

If I got invited to a 3 day wedding I'd feel like the couple was being quite pretentious. Why are you so special that you need 3 days for your wedding? (not you guys specifically just in general)

Nothing says "our life is more important than yours" than a three day wedding! I'm with ya...City Hall!

Why would anyone do this? What is your boyfriend's vision? You really need to sit him down and explain to him that no one wants to attend a 3-day wedding. If you want to make a weekend out of it for you two, then have a destination wedding, but understand that most people likely won't come.

Tell him if he want a 3 day wedding he should plan everything.

I'm with everyone else, what on earth could you do for 3 days?

I have some friends who are Indian. They all have had three day weddings and that is typical of their culture. However, if it's not a cultural thing and the people you're inviting aren't expecting it, it would be more of a burden than anything.

I wouldn't go if I were invited to a three day wedding. It's a little rude to expect your guests to be able to take three days off and be able to afford it.

Omg that's why am so stressed already.. we are both Mexican and we both have family in mexico that are going to come.. brothers sisters and there family's ect. his mom my grandparents so he was thinking since they are already going to be here and everyone is going to be together to spend more time with each other. ALL AM THINKING IS HONEYMOON NO KIDS!! but is thinking FAMILY REUNION LOL anyways ceremony Friday, dinner and cake our usual Mexican tradition wedding ( mariachi and all) //// Saturday drinks buffet and and ???? that's where i need help he wants me to set it all up like a disco/ bar/club ect thing, so all we would be doing is dancing with our guess.. am all ready tiered LOL then Sunday early brunch and say good bye to every one as the see us off and they stay to enjoy my grandmas meal ( she loves cooking and cooks likes there is no tomorrow. i need help making it all coming together as a wedding and not a family reunion... am so stressed.

I've never heard of this and serious don't get it. What do you do for three days??

I have never heard of a 3 day wedding...at least back to back. Is your FH from another country? Are there different cultures you are trying to celebrate like an Indian or Pakistani wedding.

This sounds awful. No is a one word sentence.

Is this a cultural thing? I know my friend who is a bridal hairstylist does a few weddings where she's a book a few days in a row, but it has to do with culture.

Do you have a ton of out of town guests? By three day could he mean rehearsal, wedding, and after wedding brunch?

His hole this is being able to see everyone from Mexico, LA, Chicago, Tx and Nashville for more then a couple of house i wish i could just get him to city Hall but all His family is already excited about it and all his brothers have had a 2-3 day wedding.

We're getting married at a camp (more like a summer camp than a camping ground, that you can rent out entirely). We reserved it for a couple of days after our wedding and are inviting people to stay and hang out, swim, hike, relax, etc. There are no wedding activities on the other days though, so no one has to feel bad if they can't stay, and we don't have to plan anything. Is that the kind of thing he's thinking about? Or does he want to do wedding events spread out?

I've also been to a wedding in Hawaii where they organized optional activities (like hikes, beach trips, shave ice excursions) for the days leading up to the wedding. It was nice because it was a destination wedding for most people, so everyone was going to stay for a bit anyway, and it made it easier for people to get out and see the couple's recommended places. Also, we got to hang out with the couple more than if we had just gone to the ceremony. Again, all was totally optional and not particularly wedding-related.
