ok so as many of you may or may not know... i had initially planned to get married abroad in jamaica, but unfortunatly due to cost's on the family members we arent able to.
anyway i wanted to keep the caribbean theme for my wedding, was we are only having 30 in the day, where we are having the civil ceremony, i didnt want a harp playing, i wanted to keep to the caribbean theme and have a steel band playing to welcome the guests in and play while i walk down the isle.
anyway after telling my mum this idea, she said noway!!! its tacky!! and now claims my 15 yr old brother said the same!... yes the place i am getting married in is beautiful... but end of the day i want the steel band!! my mum is now hoping i will change my mind!! or will try and convice my other half to tell me not to have it!
ill try and upload pictures of the where i am having the ceremony and i would like HONEST comments please!!
i personally dont want a mish mash wedding and want everything to blend in together!!
STRESSSS

If that's what you want Camilla, go for it! It would be really cool I think - steel band, jerk chicken, rice and peas! wonderful!
I really did marry my Mr Wright and we had a nice day for a
Wright wedding!
Mexico for our first anniversary <3

i think its a lovely idea, they did something similar on dont tell the bride and it was lovely! its your wedding just remind your mum that, just becasue its not what she wants x
i know most people will hate it!!.. but atleast they will remember it!!
thanks girls... i always said i will never let someone influence my big day, but its so hard!! especially when its your mum

At the end of the day,your mum will no doubt enjoy your day no matter what.

I think it's a nice idea. BTW there is always someone that can find the tacky at any wedding, I'd just ignore them.
CommentAuthorCamillaB
samanthap91, yeah i suppose that is true!! you literally cant please everyone
CommentAuthorSam
no, and it isn't worth trying :) I grew up in Southern California and I love anything tropical/beach related, so I'm more than partial to your idea. I think it'll bring some sun to your wedding even if it's the greyest day England can throw at you. :D

Venue looks gorgeous, and it's your wedding you have what you like or you will regret it after. I think it would be lovely x x
