That and: ADULT ONLY RECEPTION so people didn't roll through with a gang of kids like it was The Baby-sitters Club.<br />But I do remember seeing A LOT more people during the recessional than I saw while I was coming down the aisle during the processional.

My family went to a wedding for family friends of ours and the wedding started 4 hours late! Four hours! The bride AND groom just weren't ready yet. We were all sitting there on time because my mom (an AA woman) is very punctual and the whole time she's talking about "your father's people" and how they can't get it together to be on time. It was a sweet wedding though. I had the same sort of rule on my wedding day too.

He was very good at lighting and making sure all skin tones looked good. He was interracially married as well (him BM, wife, HM) and came off as very welcoming to interracial/interfaith/intercultural weddings.Bunny77noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5925433286286375425.post-2172345584242719472011-04-07T01:52:01.458-04:002011-04-07T01:52:01.458-04:00That was very funny.

I've been married before in Vegas previously, that was a wise decision. My fiancé has not been married before and I think my future MIL and his sister are little peeved because they have nothing to do but there is really not much too do. He wanted something small and so did I but we went back and forth for awhile but since we're paying for this I felt only our wishes mattered. My family is fine with it, his not so much. The MIL is a bit of a control freak but so am I and it's our wedding.

My wedding was a beautiful disaster of sorts because we barely got to be involved at all! Thanks so much for handing out advice that lets couples know that they can empower themselves to make some demands for their own wedding! P.S. I LOVE My Big Fat Greek Wedding...nothing else describes the experience better! =)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15503815206998568821noreply@blogger.com
