Has anyone had a neurodivergent friendly wedding that they enjoyed?
I was talking to my friend the other day about how my boyfriend has basically proposed. She’s my oldest friend and she’s very, very excited about the prospect of planning my wedding.
I’m super excited at the prospect of being married to my boyfriend, and ✨the dress✨.
The rest of it, not so much if I’m being completely honest.
We’re both AuDHD, but he’s more heavy on the autism while I’m more ADHD.
We both hate loud noises and crowds. Especially him. He also doesn’t enjoy attention being directed at him (unless it’s him talking about his special interest).
He doesn’t really care if we elope or have a big wedding, because it’s equally “him being the center of things”. But his stance is “whatever makes me happy is what he wants”.
I do want friends and family to celebrate us. But I want it done in a way that is respectful to us, and I’m scared that repeatedly having to put that boundary into place (mainly with my friend actually) is going to suck.
She’s already talking about how she’s going to plan a bachelorette with a male stripper, spa, brunch and karaoke.
My preferred bachelorette party? Not having to participate in one.
Okay, I do see how this is actually a “that one friend” problem.
Anyways, I just wanted to hear some success stories (if there is any) and warnings for things I should avoid.
And thank you for reading all that if you made it to the bottom.
