When you love someone, you want to be there to support them on their special days. Birthdays, graduations, and especially weddings are the days when you want to be surrounded by loving and encouraging faces. Good family and friends understand this and make every effort to be there. But there are limits to how far love can carry you. One bride knows this and wondered if she could push those limits and have guests attend her early morning wedding.

This bride wants to get married at a specific church.
On Reddit, one bride wondered if people would attend a wedding if it started at 7 a.m. — like, in the morning. Obviously, this is unusual but in her query she explained, “There is this specific church that I met my fiancé in front of. It is the most beautiful church ever. And since we first met there, I feel like would be so cute to have the ceremony there.” The only problem is that the only opening the church has is at 7 a.m.

The people of Reddit were clear.
That was all the information she provided. Still, it was more than enough for the people of Reddit to sound off with their opinions on the matter.
“Yes, it’s insane,” one user wrote. “Unless you were my sister, I would not show up. ETA: I need to be very clear that there is only 1 of my sisters I would show up to this for.”
Another user suggested a simple fix: “Pick a different date…”
Someone else claimed they would read 7 a.m. as a typo and turn up 12 hours later.
Someone did offer a possible solution.
Another user offered a compromise for the bride and her guests.
“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.” This sounds nice.
Most weddings have a dress code. This means it takes some time for guests to get dressed. Some of the more particular guests could require hours to get ready, which means waking up at 5 a.m. If this bride is planning on having a bridal party, asking them to be up at 3 a.m. for hair, makeup, and photos is almost cruel.
Someone said even if people did come, they wouldn't be at their best.
Then there would be people who make every effort to be there and just can’t get their bodies up and moving so early, not to mention being pleasant and sociable when they arrive.
“Even with best intentions people will be late,” one user commented. “I’m Indian and our events are supposed to start at 9am and everyone is stillllll late.”
If people do make it, there’s a good chance they won’t arrive with the right energy.
One user summed it up simply: “Do not do this unless you want people talking s— about your wedding for years to come.”
