How Does This Sound?

Kachina624 — Fri, 13 May 2016 07:22:40 GMT

A gritty desert wedding doesn't really appeal to me probably because I know there's a lot of dirt mixed with that sand and insects and pieces of weeds. There is often wind to be taken into consideration, and you can feel the grit from that on your face and in your mouth. Where to have the reception? Deserts are usually miles off the beaten path. Oh, and they're often hotter than hades, like 120°.

They say they're going to be the latest thing. We'll see.

Yeah, a white carriage pulled by two big, brown spitting camels.

Thanks, but I'll be sending regrets.

It's the bride and groom's wedding, so they should have it at whatever venue they prefer (it's their day). While it's not my cup of tea, I would attend a wedding in the desert for a loved one or close friend.

It's a beautiful picture and I'd hope that there's a resort with facilities thereby. Me personally, I'd have to have a washroom nearby. A lot of weddings like this have no guests.

Well, I wouldn't go. Just me, but to heck with people that can't make their guests comfortable. Oh I forget. Today's bridal audience are not "guests" they are an audience. Sorry, but I'm sick of these "me me me" pseudo weddings. They are simply egos run amuck in many cases. Not ALL of course, but you do see a lot of these events now. . .

I live in Arizona which is considered a desert. First of all there are many beautiful places in the desert that aren't all sand, coyotes and scorpions. We have red rocks, waterfalls and lakes. This isn't the Wild Wild West. It's not always hot as Hades. It usually cools down at night and many months are very pleasant, and I would think no one in there right mind would do a wedding like this in summer anyway.

No, it's not.

Here's a desert wedding. I think it's beautiful and who wouldn't want to attend something like this. Far cry from a giant litter box.

Most people wouldn't have an outdoor wedding in the hot months of the year.
