Making Their Wedding a Politics-Free Zone

“In my experience, those uncomfortable political discussions tend to break out when you’re just sitting and drinking at a table,” she said. (She will not use a sign because it doesn’t match her décor.)

Caitlin New, 27, even joked that if she caught anyone talking about politics, they would “get X’s on their hands, so they can’t get drinks from the bar.” Her wedding is scheduled for Orlando, Fla., the day before Election Day, her 10-year anniversary with her fiancé.

However, some dissenters who watched Ms. Chronowski’s TikTok video said that they would not invite anybody who did not share their morals and values. Logann Watchorn, a 19-year-old 911 operator from Cleveland, said he had severed ties with several family members who didn’t share his views. “I just can’t imagine having people that don’t support the same morals as me in my wedding,” he said.

Though many of her guests don’t share her political beliefs, and she has had many heated political conversations, she is confident there won’t be any fights at her wedding.
