Crystal and Justin had a robot-and-s'mores wedding that was heavy on fun details — including this secret getaway table the groom set up after the ceremony. We're definitely fans of private pre-reception dinners — it looks like a sweet way to get a little alone time to bask in just-married awesomeness.
What an incredibly beautiful idea! Too often have I heard and read about how the newlyweds rarely get a chance to just … be…and to just enjoy each others company… also, to refuel! I’m absolutely in love with this little secret getaway idea!
I actually heard about this from a bartender who did it at his wedding, and totally love the idea! So many times the bride/groom never get to eat the food at their own wedding, let alone share a private moment together. I think this refocuses the whole rest of the reception.
what a great idea! I officiated a wedding this past summer where the bride and groom disappeared for 15 minutes after the ceremony just to let it all sink in. I think we’ll be sure to have some noshes set aside as well because there is zero way we will have time to eat ahead of time.
In my book, I talk about how after the ceremony we went for a walk just the two of us … inspired by the Jewish concept of Yichud. 🙂
Thanks everyone! Justin was really sweet to arrange this for us. He also used this moment to surprise me with the wedding ring I really wanted. He’d told me several days before that he couldn’t afford it, but then had it tied around the stem of a special bottle of champagne waiting at this secret getaway table. What a wonderful husband I have. 🙂
Awe, thanks for all the love, wonderful people. Justin really surprised me with this one. He also had my surprise wedding ring (he wasn’t going to get me one) tied around a champagne bottle when we got to the little secret spot. What a lucky lady I am!
