Wedding Website Our Story

Teresa, on August 18, 2017 at 2:42 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 16

Hello all,

I am stuck on how to describe our story on the wedding website. It would not be what I describe as fairy tale lol and my family is from Barbados and somewhat conservative but still have a sense of humor so I would love to tell it somewhere in between. Let me know if you have any suggestion.

Wet in spring of 2015. I went out with a friend to a dinner date and girls night at Olive Garden and as we were leaving we saw a bar open that had a lot of people around so we decided to go just for fun. I met my fiancé at a bar and he offered to buy me a drink and I found he was a special needs teacher. After a couple of drinks, we danced ( and made out). When he got my number, I told him directly that I was not going to be a one night stand and I don't date players. Lol the day after we went on a date that lasted 7 hours Smiley smile. We haven't looked back since. Lol

P.S. how do I make this short, sweet and succinct.

Thanks in advance!!

Teresa Taitt

    I'd prob focus more on what attracted you to him, anything funny you might have talked about, etc. Less about drinking.

    We skipped our story on the website. We just inserted a note thanking them for visiting our site.

    You could also skip the "how we met" part and just go into a cute timeline of your relationship. FH and I didn't get together right away, so I skipped that part and focused on our journey so far as BF / GF up until engagement.

    I think a lot of that is way TMI. We skipped it, assuming people we are inviting already know about us.

    In 2015, Teresa went out for girls night at Olive Garden, while they were leaving they happened to mingle around the bar where Teresa met Name. After a night of deep conversation and dancing they exchanged numbers. The next day they went out on a date, and both haven't looked back since.

    ETA spelling.

    I would definitely skip the "not a one night stand" part!

    I did the abbreviated version of our story. I didnt say much except we met online (didnt way where) and just accelerated it from there.

    Also, i never tell anyone except for close friends that FH was supposed to be a one night stand lol

    I think my dad knows...but hes a special snowflake of his own.

    HOW WE MET

    In Spring of 2015, Teresa went out with some girlfriends one night, and ended up at a bar where she met FH. He offered to buy her a drink, and the rest is history.

    THE PROPOSAL

    Tell this story.

    I'll be honest - don't overthink this/waste your time. Like PPs have said, most people don't care, and most will not bother visiting your website. After the wedding, one guest told us she didn't know we had a website, even though it was included on the details card, because we gave guests the option to RSVP online! Also, most of your guests already know how the two of you met anyway.

    We did ours in three parts:

    StPaulGal is from X, has X family members, works at X, and enjoys hobbies X, Y, and Z.

    FH is from X, has X family members, works at X, and enjoys hobbies X, Y, and Z.

    They met at X in 2012, got engaged in 2017, and have XYZ pets together.

    We each had extended family members invited who hadn't met the other partner.

    It was a rainy night during springtime 2015. Teresa went out with a friend for a girl's night dinner date. As the pair prepared to head home for the evening, they saw a bar with people spilling outside. It was early so they decided to go for a drink to people watch and have fun. Little did Teresa know, FH was also at the same bar with his dancing shoes. He offered to buy her a drink and the rest was history. They had a couple of drinks, danced all night, and FH surprised her with a kiss. He asked for her number and before she could respond, told her he wanted to take her on a date the very next night. What was supposed to be a simple dinner date turned into a seven hour affair. They were hooked and haven't looked back since.

    Definitely agree don't overthink it and most people won't read it. Ours isn't on our wedding website and I've not sure many people have even looked at it haha.

    All I put for mine was "I think I can speak for everybody when I say, it's about time!" We've been togeher for almost 9 years and have a child and a house. I think the little "stories" that people put are just cheesy and awkward lol.

    How FH and I TECHNICALLY met is not great for telling family (think slutty, drunken, college years). So...we made our story about a specific day when we both kind-of realized that our relationship was real.

    Instead of telling the story about your drunken hookup...maybe just talk about your amazing first date.
