A Daytime Affair?

During my hunt for the perfect venue, it has been a topic of discussion as to whether or not the wedding has to be in the evening.  My immediate reaction is, "Well, of course it has to be in the evening."  MOB thinks otherwise.  Several of the venues that we've considered do have discounted rates for morning or afternoon ceremony and reception.  However, the venues that only have space for one wedding per day do not offer the earlier-in-the-day discount.  When an earlier event was suggested to the Groom, he suddenly lost all of his big boy words and out strung words such as "dumb" and "doesn't make sense."  When I asked why he felt so strongly, his simple reply is that he just wouldn't show up.  Why does our generation feel so strongly about weddings being in the evening?  Is it a generational thing?  Have you been to a wedding during the daytime?  Was it fun?  Have weddings lost the feeling that they once suggested - love, two people vowing to spend the rest of their lives together - and turned into straight-up parties?  If so, it's a sad day...

No, we are not truly considering a daytime affair but if we were, would you talk about us behind our back?!

On a lighter note, I think we may have found the place.  I'll keep you guessing and post more in the coming week.  I have to go to bed now so I can be ready for THE MISS UNIVERSE PAGEANT tomorrow night!!  Whoohooo!!
