Getting married

beadles93

Hi everyone

Me and my partner both have cerebral Palsy spastic quadriplegia full time wheelchair user. We are getting married in 2027? Any hints or tips? Struggling what to to do for first dance? first kiss?

Well that's nice, congratulations!

I'm sure you will think of something, music wise, I'm not the best one to ask about things like that, lol.

I can dance in a wheelchair. Love it!

I don't know if you and your partner are in manual or powerchairs but regardless I'm sure you both could find some fun in choreographing a dance routine.

As for the kiss... Well... When two people love each other very much... 🤣

Oh, the most important part -

🪅🎊🥂 CONGRATULATIONS!! 🎊🥂🎉

Ooh how exciting for you both. Something lovely to look forward to.
I don’t have any tips except to just try and enjoy every second as it will go so quickly. I’m more about the clothes, flowers and food. Have fun arranging it all. Wishing you both a fantastic life together.

Congratulations @beadles93!! I'm afraid I don't have any tips either, but I hope you have fun with the planning! Sounds like you've got a good bit of time to get creative and make a day that's designed perfectly for you and your partner. Thanks for sharing your news with us ☺️

congratulations! As you’ve already been told enjoy every moment. The day really does fly past and it’ll be your memory you use a lot more than photos or videos to reminisce the day. As I say to all couples do what you want and what you are comfortable with. How would you usually show affection to one another? Do you want to have a first dance? My friends in an electric wheelchair and loves the silent discos we go to. You do you. Don’t feel pressured by friends, family, or worst of all wedding ’rules’ as I just don’t think they apply anymore. Friends of ours are getting married next year, he’s asd and so they’re not having a top table or speeches. They’re having a small table just the two of them and they’ll mingle as they feel up to it. We love him just the way he is and know that the day will be a tricky one for him, so don’t care what they do it to make their day easier for them to enjoy. I’m sure your friends and family feel the same. Again congratulations!
