No Alcohol, No Kids: Couple's Unconventional Wedding Plans
21 May
Summary
- Couple opts for no alcohol, citing personal values and guest comfort.
- A fully vegan menu will be served at the upcoming reception.
- Weekday wedding chosen for cost savings and to accommodate schedules.
Ballet dancers Mackenzie Davis and Evan Arredondo are making headlines with their unconventional wedding plans, sparking significant online debate. The couple has announced a series of choices designed to reflect their personal values and ensure guest comfort.
Central to their plans is the decision to forgo alcohol entirely, a choice influenced by their personal abstinence from drinking and a desire to support guests with a history of substance abuse. They will also exclusively serve vegan cuisine, aiming to offer a glimpse into their lifestyle.
Further streamlining their event, Davis and Arredondo selected a weekday for their wedding, citing cost savings over weekend bookings. To maintain an intimate and less overstimulating environment, they are limiting the guest list to approximately 63 people, excluding children and most plus-ones.
Davis, who was diagnosed with ASD Level 1 earlier in the year, emphasized that these decisions are intended to create a safer and more comfortable experience for her and her fiancé. While some online reactions have been critical, the couple maintains that their wedding is a celebration of their union and that guests who understand their vision are the most important attendees.
