Lots of people said my wedding was perfect for me. I know it wasn't everyone's style, so I didn't expect them to think it was the best ever, especially b/c I didn't want dancing. But I did get tons of compliments on all my DIY things.
I don't know because I haven't had mine yet, but I went to a wedding where I told them (and still tell them) that their wedding was the best one I've been to so far.
I hope my wedding can be half as awesome as theirs was. :)
People told us at the wedding that it was the best wedding they'd been to in a long time and the most personal ceremony they'd ever seen.
Over a year later, we still get compliments about our wedding (and have heard friends comparing our wedding to other weddings they've been to since).
Yep! A lot of people remarked on how personal it was and how much they loved the food :) Exactly what we wanted!
I had a budget wedding but I must have done a good job because my BIL told me recently he thought the whole weekend was like something out of a movie (in a good way) and my aunt said that the whole day felt magical, my friend who got married the month before me told me she was jealous even though she pulled off a great wedding for $4000, (we both had similar budgets to begin with but I gave up the honeymoon and put the extra money to the reception and she got to go to disney so I was jealous of her!). I felt that my wedding really was the happiest day of my life and it was perfect for me, and it just felt really good to hear my guests talk about how much fun they had because that was my #1 priority.
Also, I was extremely nervous because most of my new in-laws are very wealthy and go to some very nice parties, but they all said they had a great time too and my new favorite uncle in law spent the whole night cutting a rug on the dancefloor.
We got a lot of that. Even on photographer and videographer said it was by far the easiest weddings they have done.
A year and change later, we still get told what an awesome wedding we had.
Of course, I think a lot of that had to do with the location. We had a lot of out of town guests and the Santa Monica Pier is definitely a great tourist spot. So much going on with all the people, carnival rides, lights, etc.
But everyone also commented on how laid back/personal/fun it was.
We had a good chunk of our guests tell us it was the most fun they'd had at a wedding in ages, we were praised all around for our ceremony, and people still get a dreamy look on their faces when they remember the food.
DH and I were the first ones in our closer circle of friends to get married, and now other couples we know are starting to tie the knot. We've had several people quietly tell us that although the other weddings they've been to recently were lovely in their own way, ours is the standard by which the rest are being judged, and apparently we set the bar really high, lol.
No one told us that ours was the best ever, but we still have people telling us how awesome our cakes tasted. :)
People love to tell us how much fun they had at our wedding, they loved how personalized everything was, and they loved the band. People really loved our CS Lewis reading during the ceremony and that we had traditional hymns. And the cake. Everyone looooves the cake
I had someone say that my dress was the most beuatiful she'd ever seen! lol, kinda doubt that unless she hadn't seen many but I appreciated it.
I still have people tell me how fun and personal it all was. It definitely wasn't the party of the century, but we aren't those kind of people so that wasn't expected :)
We did have alot of comments. At a family wedding this weekend, my aunt who's daughter was getting married even brought ours up. Ours was ina completely different spot then where my family has had all of their weddings and I think we were the first to do a cocktail hour and photobooth. so it was a lot different then the our typical family wedding.
As I'm still waiting to have my wedding, I have been to 2 weddings where I told the bride and groom that their wedding was the best ever! And I meant it sincerely both times - both couples threw an absolutely fantastic party with people dancing to the very end, and the reception and ceremony really reflected the couple. I can only hope that my wedding is half as much fun as theirs were!!
most people said that they were surpised at how fun and awesome the wedding was. I was not sure whether that was a compliment or not!!! LOL DH brother said "I actually had an awesome time...I thought it would suck. I mean, a sunday afternoon wedding, come on!" WOW...that was a punch in the gut. I tried to focus on the positive statement that he did have a great time.
It happed just a little over two weeks ago, and I still get people posting on my FB wall that I "know how to throw an awesome party" or that it "was the most beautiful wedding I've ever been to." Someone even told me it was like something out of a movie.
Do I think my wedding was the best wedding ever? No. Was it the best wedding ever for us in keeping with our tastes/personalities? Yes.
Well, my situation is a little different. No one was at our wedding except the two of us, so sometimes DH will tell me it was the best wedding ever because he got to marry me.
Now for our reception, I'm still getting comments about how beautiful it was. Quite a few of our guests told me that it looked just like my style and that it was exactly what they expected, beautiful and gracious. I think that's probably the best compliment.
This is one of my biggest pet peeves!!
HELLO WORLD - lots and lots of people get married every year! Many of your guests go to lots and lots of weddings. So many brides believe that "they" HAVE to have the absolute best-possible-ever-anywhere wedding; you don't. You have to have something that works for you and makes you happy. There is no million dollar standard to live up to. Be yourself, have fun. Accept the fact there is an entire industry surrounding weddings.
*sigh* I just hate seeing people beat themselves up emotionally thinking that they have to do this great fantastic thing. For the most part, that's just the "wedding industrial complex" talking. If you spend too much time stalking blogs, magazines, forums, the internet, etc, you may start to feel bad about your own plans, or like they're not enough. It's not true. Please know that!
I got a lot of compliments. My dj said it was awesome....one of the best weddings he has done,. A number of guest said it was the best wedding they had been to. One guest said it was like a celebrity wedding, but most said they were amazed at the detals of the wedding.
Yep, we had quite a few guests tell us that it was one of the best weddings they've ever been to. In all fairness though, it seems like very little people in these parts are creative. Or atleast creative without coming off as tacky. We had a lot of personalized details to our wedding that no one else has had (in our circle, atleast). I put A LOT of work into our wedding so I'm thrilled that our guests noticed. It's now 3 months later and we're still getting raves about certain aspects and the event as a whole. I couldn't be happier!

Everyone is biased towards their own wedding, and I know I'm going to think that mine is the best wedding ever, just because of all of the personalizations that are based on my taste, haha!
But because all weddings are so different, there are always parts of the wedding that get rave reviews from guests (whether it's food, decor, location, vows, music, etc). I'm really curious...how many of you were told by at least one guest that your wedding was the "best ever", and how many people got rave reviews on at least 1 thing in your wedding?
