not to be nosise, how come you dont want your own table? there will be so many things going on, having your own table will give you and your fi some alone time. picture wise, it would look different.

also to mention, you be sitting down much either.. so really, it doesnt matter where you sit. but i would give you some space and time alone.

i recall one moment just sitting alone at our dias and looking down on everybody enjoying the night, takeing random pictures of us and it was 1 of the best feelings even though we were just stareing at the crowd.

That's not everyone's thing though. I didn't want to be 'looking down' on anyone. I didn't want to be on display. They took pictures of us toasting close up, so you don't see the other people at the table.

We did sit & eat & talked to our bp & then between courses, we were able to socailize with everyone else. I think if we had a sweetheart table , we wouldn't have been able to eat, b/c I would have felt we were ignoring our guests.

all of this is just my opionion btw...
im no way telling her what to do..i was asking why... a wedding is a display on love that you have with your SO. else you could of just got married at justice of the peace. our dias was a mere 1 step higher then everybody else. ive seen others when you like serveral steps.

being up front doesnt limit you from doing what you said...as we talked and thanked every single guest either by us walking to them or them coming to us.

We're going to be sitting alone at the dais. The BP will be seated with people they're close to around the room.

The jrBM, jrGM, FG, and RB should be seated with their parents. I think it would be nicer this way since the BP isn't that close, they're from different parts of our lives.

I understand you, Christine, for not wanting to sit alone with your FH, so maybe just have the MOH and BM with their dates sit with you. No need to feel awkward at your own wedding!!

Exactly. Good luck Christine, FM me if you have any questions.

We are sitting with our best man and MOH (neither of them have SO's otherwise we would have sat them there as well) FI is very shy and I think he sees having others at the table as more bodies that guests could be looking at that aren't him!!!

ETA: He would have even preferred us to sit at a regular table with immediate family, unfortunately the way the numbers worked out this was more logical

We do not want to be on our own...we have a lifetime for that...and in the limo as well...and the HM. We want to share our feelings and the reception w/those closest to us. that's why we really don't want to sit at a sweetheart table. I'm a fan of eing the center of attention ALL THE TIME (believe me!) but it's just too akward for us.

Spoke to the FH and we decided to sit w/our Best Man + girlfriend, MOH + her date. That will be the six of us, and perfect.

Besides, I'll hardly be sitting. DANCE DANCE DANCE....the best man and FI can sit together.
