Wel­come to The Mega Wed­ding Website!

For those of you who are not famil­iar with what “The Mega Wed­ding” really is, let us fill you in on the details of how 5 sib­lings all decided to get mar­ried on the same day:

 The Waldie fam­ily has always been extremely close, and after years of wait­ing (some more impa­tiently than oth­ers), FIVE of the eight Waldie chil­dren fell in love. While they had all spent many hours think­ing and talk­ing about get­ting mar­ried, they never expected that it would all hap­pen at the same time! While each of the cou­ples moved toward more seri­ous rela­tion­ships and closer to engage­ment, the joke started float­ing around the house that we should just com­bine all five wed­dings in to one big day. Doug Waldie (the father of the Waldie chil­dren) seemed the most excited about this joke becom­ing real­ity and made it a com­mon dis­cus­sion topic at home. As boys pur­chased rings and girls started think­ing about pos­si­ble dates, it quickly became a real­iza­tion that to have FIVE wed­dings all within a few months would mean a lot of fam­ily and friends would not be able to attend every wedding.

What started out as a joke soon became a more seri­ous option, and although some cou­ples took more con­vinc­ing than oth­ers, we all even­tu­ally decided that hav­ing our fam­ily and friends with us on our spe­cial day was most impor­tant (not to men­tion that the Waldie’s have always liked being unique).

So with that “The Mega Wed­ding” was born!

5 sib­lings, 5 Spouses, 1 day.  

The ques­tion peo­ple most com­monly ask after they get over the ini­tial shock of such a rare event is “How will it all work?!”

And to that, all we can say is:

You’ll just have to wait and see!!

    How very excit­ing! Alan an I got mar­ried on Christ­mas eve at home. 4 years later my brother fol­lowed. For a lot of the same rea­son hav­ing fam­ily around us at such a spe­cial time was the most impor­tant thing! Every year we cel­e­brate that spe­cial day together and you will all look back on this like we do a very happy and memo­r­ial time!

    Love,
    Alan and Hollie

    How excit­ing! I go along with every­thing that’s been said thus far. Yes, it far more impor­tant that every­one can be at the wed­dings and be all gath­ered together at the same time. How com­plete, is that… won­der­ful! A Super great and happy memo­r­iable time that it can hap­pen that way.
    Fam­i­lies are together For­ever!

    I was so excited when I heard this was hap­pen­ing! I couldn’t be hap­pier for all of you. :) Just goes to show that the Waldie’s clearly know how to go big or go home.
