Dear readers,
The wedding season is in full bloom and in between choosing the most flattering outfit or ordering the perfect gift, I believe it’s time we dust off some wedding ceremony manners. Namely, what topics to avoid at all costs not to stir a not so elegant wedding argument.
During a wedding, various people from different cultural backgrounds meet to celebrate the newlyweds in a joyous way. Navigating this social encounter in a tactful way is crucial, after all, we don’t wish to become a persona non grata, do we?
The Dos and Don'ts of Wedding Conversations:
1. AVOID SENSITIVE TOPICS
While it's tempting to engage in spirited debates, weddings are not the appropriate venue for discussions on religion, politics, or other contentious subjects. These topics can quickly escalate and dampen the celebratory atmosphere.
2. REFRAIN FROM GOSSIP
Gossiping or making negative comments about other wedding guests is a fast track to sour the mood. Remember, weddings are about celebrating love and unity, not tearing others down.
3. BE INCLUSIVE
Weddings bring together people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. Embrace this diversity and engage in conversations that celebrate different traditions and customs. Remember to be respectful and open-minded, appreciating the opportunity to learn from others' experiences.
Dear readers, I am a strong believer that if we all step into this year’s wedding season with an open mind, we will step out of it with memories worth remembering!
Wishing you all a joyous, drama-free wedding season!
Yours sincerely,
Katarina
