Ever thought about hosting a wedding that feels a bit too grown-up? Ellie Furuya shares her funny story!
Ellie Furuya had always dreamed of a fairy tale wedding, so when she got the opportunity to tie the knot in beautiful Thailand, she jumped at the chance. With picturesque beaches, breathtaking sunsets, and a romantic atmosphere, what could possibly go wrong? However, as Ellie reflects on her special day, she admits that her wedding reception focused a bit too much on adult guests and didn’t cater to the little ones. She recalls hired entertainers bubbling with great energy while kids were left twiddling their thumbs.
In hindsight, Ellie wishes she had been more considerate about including children in the festivities. Those tiny tots could have had lots of fun, playing games and more, instead of watching adults sip cocktails and engage in serious conversations. If only she had considered putting together a separate play area or even inviting a clown to keep them amused! As it turns out, catering to every age group doesn’t only bring smiles to the children but also makes parents feel at ease, allowing everyone to enjoy the celebration.
Ellie's desire to keep the adult vibe of the reception high led to amusing scenes where adults tried to explain tangential wedding traditions to uninterested kids. "Why do we throw rice, again?" they might have wondered, while mom and dad were busy soaking up the festive spirit. The contrast of children’s curiosity and the seriousness of adult topics created a unique, yet chaotic, atmosphere – and perhaps just a little bit regrettable.
Ultimately, Ellie’s Thailand wedding was still a grand affair, bursting with laughter, love, and a hint of madness. Despite the adult-centric theme, the guests reminisced on the warmth of the tropical setting and the beautiful vows exchanged. As Ellie says, next time she plans a gathering, especially one as monumental as a wedding, she’ll remember to embrace the joy that children bring to the table.
Did you know that Thailand is home to over 40,000 temples, making it one of the most culturally diverse countries in Southeast Asia? Also, there’s a quirky and heartwarming tradition in Thailand, where parents release fish into rivers as a sign of good luck! These vibrant traditions symbolize the importance of family and joy, just like a wedding should embrace all ages.
Looking back, Ellie Furuya says her wedding reception in Thailand was too adult-centric. If she could go back, she'd make it more kid-friendly.
