Entrance Help?!

Aleah, on October 8, 2019 at 3:14 AM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 3
So this is where I’m getting married (it’s not set up yet besides the picnic tables) we are expecting 50-60 guests. This is in my Parents side yard and I just don’t know how to enter, I’m getting fixed up in the house which is a good distance away from here (it’s not a total work out away but) I don’t want everyone to watch me walk from the house all the way there I feel like it would be so awkward! My parents aren’t concerned and tell me no one will see me till I get up there, but someone is bound to see me in my huge dress. Rather it’s a kid that screamed “here she comes” or my FH facing that way at the ‘alter’. So then my parents suggested that I get in a car and then drive me there but then it would be too dramatic I think, I’m not good at being the center of attention. So if I’m going to be I need it to feel right not dramatic or awkward or weird. I know I’m making a fuss out of it but it is on my mind constantly and no one else is worried about it but I can’t help it, I’m uncomfortable about it, I wanted to walk out of a doorway like those barn themed weddings but even then people would see me walking to it because of the distance between the house and the arbor. I just don’t know what to do.

    Keep in mind that people will be watching the others in your procession walk down the aisle while you are making your way from the house to the arbor. Is it possible to close the doors (if that pic is what you’ll have) once the last person walks? Then when your music starts they can open the doors and there you are!

    You could also have your officiant say something to your guests while you are walking from the house. This will turn the attention forward and be less likely that someone will see you. Then maybe have a screen set up nearby that you can hide behind while the procession begins. I hope you figure something out that calms your nerves.

    Hey Aleah!

    If guests do watch you walk the whole way from the house it will only be to admire you in your beautiful dress Smiley smile

    Could you erect some type of temporary fencing to block the view or something similar with ress/plants, erc? Or is the distance too large and vast for something like that?

    My SIL had a similar situation, they got married at an old estate. I was a bridesmaid so they had us walk down the hill to our spots, while she stayed around the corner. Then she did take the long walk down. The officiant had my brother turn around so he couldn't see her, and when she got to the aisle, a.k.a. where the seating began, he tuned around and then she walked down the aisle! It worked great!
