I just read a very intruiging idea: Have dinner first, then your ceremony.
This might actually work, especially at our place.
I'll ponder this awhile.....
Objections?

These are hard costs, not specifically how much came out of our pockets, just in case you were wondering. In other words, I haven't subtracted what our families helped us with. Thank you to my parents, devin's parents and my sister and brother-in-law. Could not have happened without you!

I really like food so I'm up for it.
ReplyDeleteI'd think for a casual evening wedding where most of your guests want to hang out together all day before the wedding anyway, it sounds like a brilliant idea! Feed your guests, and then head upstairs to rebeautify and make your grand ceremonial entrance! :)
ReplyDeletesounds cool!!! :) ceremonies are fairly short anyway!
ReplyDeleteinteresting...i think i like it!
