This might get a little ranty so please bear with me.
Even though I just got engaged, the FH and I have started talking about things we would like/not like for the wedding. Specifically, we started talking about venues. We got really excited about these 2 places and made appt's to go see them next weekend. I was chatting with a co-worker who is also engaged and mentioned that we were going to see a venue next weekend. She got very excited and asked to see the venue. I hesitated because I don't really want any outside opinions right now, but ultimately decided to show her. When I brought the website up on the computer she said "Oh... it's so... traditional..." The venue is rustic but also very updated/new. If I had to agree or disagree with her assessment I would say that yes- the venue is traditional in the sense that it is a "place to get married" and yes, I do see myself as someone who's a little bit quirky and likes to be unique, but I consider my personal style a good mix of romantic vintage and contemporary (hello- I have a solitaire engagement ring- traditional much??). I don't know why but her words really threw me off. I want my wedding to be "different" and the word "traditional" really makes me think of old/boring/been there done that and I don't want that at all. Anyone else struggling to draw the line between a traditional or contemporary wedding?
