Any of these weddings where the groom doesn't spend half the budget on a trip for himself and his mates first, is a huge positive for me. Kudos to Charles, well done

I love how the best men are more worried and concerned if the bride will approve than the groom.

How can you not love this bride!!

[@MRAustismCFEpilepsy]

15 minutes in I was screaming at my screen…”NO….NO!!!” But the eventual decorations were nice. I am sure there is a 3k extra budget for people to put all those decorations up? And why didn’t they just use half of the reception room for the ceremony?

The grooms choices, the venue and dress, are a lot better than the bride's. The dress is really amazing.

Everything is about what he likes! Oh no....😮

[@jackiemarshall3711]

Ok the groom was very nice and he gave his bride a traditional wedding with his sci fi reception. That was thinking of his bride.

How does a compete nerd get the girl to fall for him. Then do his level best to drive her away and still get her? 😂

[@tiad2125]

has anyone else noticed in majority of these episodes that there is at least 1 if not a few more of the female guests in white...and not a white dress with a pattern on but a full on majority of if not fully white dress? is that not a wedding no-no unless told other wise in the invites? I feel like a wedding in the US if you were to wear white the bride and some guests would be very very upset!

[@ingridpear1882]

I have a 1939 etiquette book that is American,where the author states that "a lady in mourning may not wear black to a wedding as the guests must bring joy to the bride and groom and no sadness should be present. If she must wear partial mourning, colors such as mauve,silver, and white are appropriate alternatives. If she is not up to wearing anything other than black -she shouldn't come to the wedding."
I guess the idea of upstaging the bride came later.
In England I don't think it's ever been a thing to not wear white for guests, it's bridal and wedding appropriate for everyone and thing , from linens,to invites,to dresses.
Breakfast suits are also common because set by Queen Victoria morning weddings were traditional.
Hats are worn for morning weddings,but not common in U.S. as are tuxes ,because evening dress is acceptable if there is an evening reception and hats aren't required for evening wear - even with a earlier ceremony .
I realize hats weren't in your comment - but I have seen this mentioned in British wedding etiquette videos.

The David Bowie guy amazing!

[@karolmiller6984]

Congratulations to the couple. Best scientific wedding I have ever seen.

[@melissaadrian8591]

2nd for me, groom who had reception at the space center and went total science and not sci-fi did amazing

[@LunaBella144]

This episode is so lovely. At first I was cringing - "oh, another dream birthday party for a silly boy/man" - but the compromise and respect were refreshing. Tastefully done, and I thought the masks were great fun! I bet the guests said it was the funnest wedding they had ever attended. Cheers & Best Wishes!

I was worried that this wedding would turn out like the cringy Men in Black/Area 51 themed wedding! But this groom managed to pull of some Sci-Fi elements while still keeping it classy. A lovely wedding and couple. I wish them all the best.

[@dbeiler5525]

The way she smiled at him at the alter 🥰

[@denisesander7728]

It's a parent child relationship.
