AS some of you probably know we are having a very informal wedding day, not even really having any speeches etc... I have been toying with the idea of me & h2b having a sweetheart table in the middle of the room to sit at as a couple. This way we can spend some time together to reflect on the day, talk about any hidious outfits people are wearing or just enjoy our first meal as husband & wife ;) our venue is an old beamed building with small tables, so I don't think it will look odd to have us seated in the middle ..... wanted to run this by everyone, see what you reckon??? xxx

we are thinking of doing this, it also helps with us having split families, no stress of who to have on the top table etc, the other tables then will have seperate family groups on them (with groups of friends in between lol) our wedding is very relaxed also with no speaches unless someone wants to that is. I agree will be nice to have first meal together! x

Sid .... I'm just making sure our parents and bridesmaids etc have a nice table, everyone else can sit where they want, can't be doing with table plans and the like, you always hate who you sit with as a rule at weddings if someone else chooses your seat! xx
l'm for the table plan as it helps your family and friends mingle and get to know each other, but a wedding is how you make it and what you want, l have a huge family and there will be some at every table in the room lol, it will be nicw to have my first breakfast with MY husband at our own table even though we both have family staying in the hotel x

Hi, I'm planning on doing the exact same thing. My day is extremely informal.. only 21 guests and small wedding cereomy at the registry office then small due at a local hall. I'm not planning on having a top table as I think it would be a little bit random.. so were just having a table to ourselves in the room where everybody else is.. That way we can see everyone and talk to everyone without being sat infront of everyone with all eyes beaming on us. I think its a brilliant idea.. whatever works best for you and your h2b :)

we are having 4 on the top table, us and mums. I really do like the idea of the sweetheart table though. MIL had one when she got married and said the only problem is that you both feel isolated - but then everyone is different x x

I think it's a lovely idea! Your wedding day is about you and if you want that time just to be together then I say do it :)
It's right what they say
"The course of true love never runs smoothly"
But if it had been easy then we wouldn't love each other as
much as we do right now - 1 week to go :D
CommentAuthorNikkiB
I think it sounds lovely. It'll be a good chance for you both to have a chat about your day and spend time together......I don't think you really get a chance to have a good gossip at your own wedding!! xx
