What is/was your favorite part of your wedding? Was there something you as a guest at another wedding just feel in love with and a *must have*?

What gets your guests still talking about your wedding/another wedding about how amazing something was?

Same questions but this time what was absolutely cringey at a wedding that you went to as a guest? Something that made other guests horrified/still talking about it to this day?

*As for myself FH and I LOVE swing music. Thinking of our first dance being an actual dance like on Dancing with the Stars. But I don't know if that will either be amazing, or come off as tacky.

Iove Battery Gardens! Lots of our venues do a very mini cocktail hour as people arrive! I love it!

Favorite parts: food, getting to see the love between the couple.

Cringeworthy: at a friend's wedding, there was a brief delay (maybe 2 minutes) in walking down the aisle because the FG wasn't sure she wanted to walk. It was not a big deal at all, until the officiant started making jokes about the bride running away. WTF?

At another friend's wedding, her dad got up and made a toast about how he hoped one day they'd have a real marriage. It was a real, legal wedding, with a religious officiant, but both her and her husband's families are Mormon and wouldn't stop talking about how much they hope they'd get married in the temple (the couple is non-practicing). Her mom and MIL were discussing it during pictures immediately after the ceremony. After her dad made the speech, I stepped out for a second with another friend because we couldn't believe what we'd just heard.

As a guest, I've always hated the bouquet and garter toss. We're not doing either one.

One thing I didn't like at FH's niece's wedding (not exactly cringe-worthy) was the bride and groom picked all the music (house electronica style) and didn't allow requests. While it was "their" wedding, they didn't take into account that not everyone there liked that style of music, and really would prefer a "mix" of music of all styles. I think there was ONE slow dance the entire night (3 hours of dancing). Most of the "older generation" rarely danced. For goodness sakes, put in some 50's and 60's music! and heck, even music from the 80s and 90s!
