What she means by a “fabric wedding” is one that is completely in the dark– no overhead or twinkly lights allowed.
The woman wants her parents to enjoy the wedding how they experience life every day– in the dark, relying on their four other senses.
Perhaps shockingly, the woman’s fiancé is not opposed to the idea at all.
“My fiancé honest-to-God does not care. In his mind, the moment I said yes, I became his wife,” the woman continued.
So, they hired a wedding planner whose sole job is to ensure the event is safe and runs smoothly in the dark.
The couple also hired staff who will wear night vision goggles to provide guidance to any guests who need it.
Finally, they plan to give every guest glow bracelets and glow necklaces to illuminate the room just a tiny bit.
Still, her fiancé’s family is not exactly overjoyed with the idea. Some family members are on board, but the fiancé’s parents are pushing back hard.
“We had a huge fight over it after they argued that it is not fair to ‘punish’ the guests because my parents are blind,” the woman added.
And since the woman’s in-laws shared their distaste, other members of her fiancé’s family have begun siding with his parents and threatening to boycott the wedding.
“My husband thinks it’s their loss and that his parents will still attend, even if it is begrudgingly,” the woman said.
