Wedding Whereabouts

While engaged, I think it's a great idea for the couple to crash a wedding together. Luckily, we were actually invited to this one - so no wedding crashing required. Jeff & I went to my cousin's wedding in Pennsylvania on the weekend. I had gone to one last year on my own, but this was the first time Jeff and I got to go to one while actually planning our wedding.

It was neat to be able to comment on the different things together - from the invitations, table placecards, music, centrepeices, attire, food, style, etc. Although I think our wedding style will be nothing like this one - it was still good to see different ideas, and realise what things actually impacted us.

Personally, I found out, that although Erica used my favorite flower for her bouquet, I couldn't handle that she had nothing else. It was just a bunch of the exact same flower, so apparently I need different sizes, fillers, and colours. The centrepieces were nice, but were kind of impractical. There were goldfish in the centrepieces, and because most people were from out of town, no one wanted to take the centrepeices home. So there are now 100 homeless goldfish. Luckily - Merlin our gold fish, made it safely back to Ottawa - oh yeah, I should go get him so fish food.

It was really neat having hors d'ouevres during the cocktail hour, definately made the conversations more relaxed - it was really nice, so it's time to look into it for our wedding. Oh and for those of you keeping count, there are 80 days to go! =)
