It’s been really fun to hear how other people have done this! I confess I do have the occasional pang of “what if someone who comes to our wedding thinks ____ is ridiculous or totally turns up their nose at ____ ?” And then I remember (or more often, James reminds me) that it’s not all about them anyway…

Chris and I also had hash out expectations but even with a lot of planning we missed some. Like in PR the Bride and Groom sit at little table all by themselves and people come by to chat. Chris was expecting a head-table thing, with his groomsmen and attendants. We ended up never really using our little table an instead roving the reception hall. Just do what works for you, and means something to you.

As I’m sure Kari’s noticed, I tend to need to have most traditions justified for me if I’m going to go along with them.

I think in part that comes from a lot of the wedding traditions in the US appearing from my perspective to be a lot more involved than those over here. A number of them lead me to think that the US traditions tend to have more of an emphasis on the guests’ comfort/reception (rather than the whims of the couple, and the content of various budgets!) than do those in the UK, but I guess I’ll be better placed to comment on that in another few months!
