What makes a good wedding?
I'm still over the moon to be marrying Rarg, but I'm now feeling daunted about organising the 'special day'. Obviously (because it's us) it won't be a very traditional day, but I can't figure out what will be different about it. I'm also not keen on getting out a second mortgage for it, so it will be on a manageable budget. I'm having trouble

Can you tell me about a wedding you really enjoyed? What did you like about it? My Aunty and Uncle got as many friends and family to help out where they could, they let everyone who had a camera take the pictures, my Uncles brother provided the reception music. It made the day really personal to them rather than having a professional do all that, plus it makes it a bit cheaper too! My Aunty, like youself, is not a traditional lady, she wasn't into the 'white wedding' and like you didn't want to spend a fortune, so she just went out to some of the more up market high street shops (John Lewis, Monsoon, House of Fraiser) with a budget of about £200, and bought the nicest dress she could find for that amount of money. She got her dress from Monsoon in the end, it looked lovely, was very 'her' and she's gotten use out of it since.
What is the most tedious part of going to someone else's wedding? Having to sit through a loooooong service that could be completely irrelevant to the couple. My Aunty had a short sweet non religious ceremony, but I have been to a couple of long religious ones before now. I know it should be the most important bit, the actual getting married part, but I think it's more interesting if you can make it personal.
Do you think present lists are useful or boring? You could make the present list optional? Encourage people to be creative and get something of their own inpiration... but also have a list for those who are completely stuck as to what to get you. Better than ending up with 3 sets of cheese knives right?
Do you think dancing is an important part of a wedding? Important no, fun yes!
How would you feel if there was music you didn't like? I wouldn't mind, this is the day of the happy couple, I should be happy for them and their music choices!
What's the worst disaster you've ever seen at a wedding? A present giving thing at the end of the ceremony! The couple opened up all the presents in front of everyone, we'd sat through a long ceremony and had to sit through this before we'd even eaten! People just got bored and started talking, it was really embarrassing for the couple.
Do you hate or enjoy dressing up? Love it!
Hope this has helped!
