What a beautiful bouquet and the treats look yummy. Great advice on attending a wedding. I wish them a lifetime of happiness.

In reply to unknownmami. I honestly cannot say that I would have been as cool about it.

A family member (professional photographer) shot a wedding recently and shared this video this morning on FB:
https://vimeo.com/46990919 Many of the photos are repeats (in the beginning), but it’s a fantastic example of how a bride can choose to handle a rainstorm on her wedding day. It’s a metaphor for their marriage, for certain. I hope you don’t mind my sharing it.

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! The flowers are UTTERLY STUNNING… I love them so much I’ve pinched the photo and will put it on my Pinterest board! I hope you don’t mind.
Stew and I got married in the church then went home with our guests …. and we had a BBQ lunch. Everyone had to bring a plate of food and their own alcohol too!
We had just bought our first house, had our first baby (MY 5th)… and were broke! BUT SO HAPPY.
No honeymoon either… cos you can’t get a “Honeymoon Suite” with a double bed, four single beds AND a bassinet eh? We thought it was funny.

In reply to MoMo. Your wedding was wonderful. The best part was seeing both you and Matt shine. It just felt right.

I’m a sucker for love too….I like what you had a party not a performance. If I could do it over it would be more casual and more sweets!

Oh my goodness! I need copies of these photos. They are beautiful! Honestly, I agree with you about the hoopla…even though this is my wedding. A big wedding isn’t necessary and definitely has no bearing on a successful marriage. I am fortunate that my parents are in a financial situation that they were able give us the party we all had imagined. I didn’t grow up dreaming about my wedding day; I just wanted good food and great friends/family to help me celebrate my marriage to Matt. (Plus a party that I didn’t have to clean up after, for the first time in my life.) While it wasn’t a bbq, believe it or not, we actually were able to do it all significantly cheaper than the average modern wedding. (Vendors really jack up their prices, which is ridiculous!)

In reply to Kimberly. It was fun and can I just tell you that all the food was delicious and you could tell it was made with love. I'm getting all teary-eyed just thinking about it. We felt so supported and loved by our friends and family. We couldn't afford a honeymoon and our co-workers got us a weekend at a hotel by the beach and included dinner one of the nights.

It looks beautiful…I like a bride and groom who do the red velvet thing. 🙂 I agree. Although, I’m not married yet, I always wonder why they turn into such hooplas. The most fun weddings I’ve been to are the ones that were casual. Good advice! I love the potluck idea btw! How fun!

Same wedding as your post up on that other place you post once in awhile – right? I don’t recall the name because I clicked over from G+. My comment would be about the same as it was for that post but I’m having a memory reset. I don’t know if this would be a tip or a goal – be relaxed and excited at the same time. Relaxed about the festivities but excited about the groom.

In reply to Maggie. Yeah, the expense that some people go to is pretty absurd in my opinion. I'd rather use that kind of money on all sorts of other things.

I really think the more relaxed it is, the more fun everyone has. Besides, isn’t it absurd to spend what could be a downpayment on a new home for a half day party?

I have been to some weddings that are so over the top that they are almost hard to enjoy. A nice simple wedding (with cupcakes) is much more fun.

WOW – I wish I had gone to that wedding too. Those cupcakes look delicious! I love your advice, it’s all true.

Good tips for the bride. And yes wedding are wonderful and can be so magical but there is definitely the point where it hits overkill. I love that they had sugar cookies!

Lovely deserts and cakes.

I’m dj-ing at a Wedding this Saturday and I have to remember the order of the speeches, toasts, cake cutting and first dance.

I’m already nervous. 😀
