Bride Plans 7 A.M. Wedding Ceremony but Worries People Won't Show Up: 'Is It Absolutely Insane?'

She and her fiancé are set on marrying in a particular church but the only opening is an early-morning time slot

A bride and her fiancé have their hearts set on having their wedding ceremony at a particular church — but the only time slot available is at 7 a.m.

The bride explained her dilemma in a recent Reddit post, writing, "There is this specific church that I met my fiancé in front of and it is the most beautiful church ever. Since we first met there, I feel like it would be so cute to have the ceremony there."

The only hitch? The church's schedule is fully booked apart from the 7 a.m. slot. Understandably, the bride is concerned that her guests will be put off by the very early morning start time for the wedding.

Seeking advice and opinions, she titled her post, "Is it absolutely insane to have a wedding at 7am? Would you show up?"

The majority of commenters attempted to dissuade the bride from her plans to have an early-morning wedding, telling her it is indeed an "insane" idea. "Unless you were my sister, I would not show up," one person wrote, prompting someone else to quip in reply, "I wouldn’t even show up for my sister at 7 am."

"I would think it was a typo and show up at 7 p.m.," another commenter wrote.

Another Redditor chimed in: "I'm a morning person. Like, I choose to go into my office at 5am during our busy season. That said, I wouldn't go to a wedding at 7am — ever."

"Yes, that’s insane," yet another person weighed in. "Especially for guests who have to commute to the church. No way in hell I’m getting up at 5 to get ready and travel to a formal event and the people who do show up are going to be irritated and/or nodding off in the pews."

Others pointed out that a 7 a.m. ceremony would mean the bride would have to be up and getting herself ready as early as 2 a.m. on what will already be a long and tiring day.

"No no no no way. You’ll be up at 2 am getting ready. Then trying to stay alert the whole day and have a great time. Then there’s the guests — nobody is going to even come to a wedding at that time," one person wrote.

"I don't know if you can hire a hair and makeup artist to be there [that early]," a second person added.

A few people advised the couple to pick a different date or, if they are dead set on their plans, go ahead with a private wedding ceremony for just the two of them.

"If that’s really the only date and it’s important to you, have the ceremony with just you and your husband and have a reception later that night," someone suggested.

Another person shared their experience attending a similarly early wedding that was scaled back in consideration of the less-than-ideal time.

"I had a friend do this, they got married in a venue that meant a lot to them but the only time they could be let in was 7 a.m. It was them, the officiant, photographer and a handful of family," they explained. "They had a much larger reception and did a toast to each other in front of their guests at a more reasonable time of day."
