My future wedding
Let's talk about this. Because I can. Here is my ideal wedding and reception.
Wedding Venue: Walden Pond in the summer.
Length of time spent: Five minutes
Reception Venue: My home, if it's big enough. If not, a friend's home.
# of guests: 30-40 plus dates (I can't imagine inviting more than 15 people myself)
Food: Pot luck. We provide 3 dishes and alcohol:
1. grilled salmon, swordfish, and chicken, depending on preference. This will be made on the grill by a [paid] friend. We'll just buy the
2. Salad. We'll make this beforehand.
3. Eclairs - We'll probably buy these, to be honest.
Also, someone had better bring carrot cake.
Alcohol: Open bar with just beer and wine. This is the one place where it would make sense to use a caterer.
Music: 60's, 70's, and 80's, and old Whitney Houston only. Mariah Carey is acceptable for 2 AND ONLY 2 songs. Playlist made electronically.
Save the date cards - e-mail only
RSVP - Within 1 month or we invite someone else.
And now I'm bored.
