Wedding Plans

One of my best friends is getting married this Saturday and I have the privilege of being her Chief Bridesmaid. Watching her go through these detailed lists of people to invite, choosing a menu, reception area, dress styles ..... it just makes me very eager to go off and elope when it's my turn to get married. Hearing her and her fiance express how tired they were and how happy they would be when it's over only reinforces this view.

I will try my hardest to keep my wedding very simple if I can't elope, which means a morning wedding, ie 10am, immediate family and close friends only read 10 friends each and family, no toasts! No church either, marry me near a river like Blue Mountain Inn , then we (bridal party and guests) spend the rest of the day lyming . Now none of this means that the wedding would be any cheaper than a traditional one like my friend is having, but hopefully we can focus on the most important part which is the fact that two ppl are here to pledge their love before God and friends and make a lifelong commitment to each other.

Hmmm, better make sure I find a boyfriend that not into no fuss and veil and heap of cake. Any takers ? :-D

This doesn't mean your wedding would be cheaper? Strange, I'd have thought it would have meant that too.

Another part of the reason for wanting a smaller more intimate wedding is that I want to take all my guests with me out for the weekend or day on whatever lyme we have. Expense free for them.

By the time I'm ready to get married anyway my smaller wedding might cost more than hers :-D
