I'm glad I'm not the only one! Do you mind me asking what sort of ceremony you wound up having? Did you stick with a lot of tradition, or a little? Don and I are having a simple ceremony and reception; no flowers, no caterer, no DJ, no band, no ushers, no bridesmaids or groomsmen, no garter, no this or that or the otherSimplifying things makes for a much happier and less stressful affair, I must say.
Sure, things are way easier when you just skip whatever you absolutely don't have to have. Our wedding was at this christian event center... They would ahve been closed that day if we didn't have our wedding then so we got to use the church and other places as much as we liked without disturbing anyone. We also managed to get some kitchen staff from them so the most important things were easy to manage: the ceremony and reception were within 100m distance from each other and we didn't have to call a hundred places just to get a church and a reception place and food LOL. xD
Well we had a mass at church and then a couple of hours of reception at the other facility; mainly we just had some food and coffee, and everyone wanted to speak. A couple of friends had offered to sing for us and then the bridesmaids had some program for like 15 minutes but that was about it withe the tradition.
We had flowers, but I didn't care much about what my bouquet would look like so I just went to a store the day before sorry and said they could really get me just something LOL and my mom made the rest of the stuff. And the bridesmaids and groomsmen, well they were there to do all the dirty work for us. Like one of my bridesmaid played at church and another one drove me around in the morning and the third planned all teh program and dressed me. All in all, nothing too fancy, but nice enough for us; it was easier for us to enjoy it and apparently our guests had liked things as well.
