Planning a wedding in 5 days?? Is it possible? | LGBTQIA+

When I walked out of the bathroom around 2 pm on Monday, Christian said “Hey. You want to get married on Saturday?” 

My reply you ask? “Uhh. Sure!”

This is about how our relationship is. Spontaneous and full of adventure. We got engaged on May 1st, 2020 with the intention of getting married around January 3rd in North Carolina. COVID threw a HUGE wrench in that plan. With all of our family still feeling unsafe to come, we pushed it back to ‘when COVID gets a little better’ that day never really came for our family. 

We have ALWAYS wanted a small wedding. Spending money on a day that makes everyone else happy isn’t what we are about. The day is about us celebrating our love together. Yes, we would LOVE for our friends and fam to be there, but it just kind of made sense for us to elope. Make ourselves happy before anyone else. (Sounds selfish, but in the long run, it is our day to be happy and celebrate OUR love) 

We didn’t tell anyone but a select few members of our family and went about our planning. 

The day was ABSOLUTELY perfect! Celebrated our love + forever happiness the way we wanted without added stresses or hiccups! 

We had a few ‘friends’ who were sassy about the whole situation. Not being told. 

Here is the situation: we have known this couple for less than 2 months. We had hung out as friends for a while, but nothing more. To say the least, we didn’t feel the need to tell them. 

The day after our wedding the drama starts...

Long story short, they were making a fuss that we didn’t tell them. Even as much to say ‘oh and Tate just had a beautiful wedding dress shoved in the back of her closet?’ 

1 | I don’t have to justify my wedding to anyone

2 | We didn’t tell anyone we aren’t CRAZY close to. And you don’t qualify for that. 

3 | I shouldn’t have to be ridiculed for doing something that doesn’t effect you whatsoever. 

The feeling of pure happiness knowing I will be with C and Kingston for the REST of our lives is overwhelming. I can only speak for myself, but I feel like C feels the same way: we are absolutely over the moon.

C and I didn’t go on a honeymoon as our entire lives are essentially one giant honeymoon! We do plan on taking one at some point (out of the country hopefully 🤞🏻) 

We love chatting about our love, so feel free to message me on IG @_tatecribbs_
