We'll be arriving in SC on Wednesday, wedding is Friday and we'll stay the rest of the week to spend time with everyone.
Even with the emergency fund I had to use some wedding money for vet bills when Rosie passed...so we're cutting out a "professional" wedding cake. I can't eat normal cake anyway, and a gluten free cake would be even more expensive. Eesh. All that for dessert? No thanks! Tony prefers cupcakes anyways. |
Take it from somebody that went to college for 3 years for a degree in floral design and wedding planning that your idea of an itinerary is a VERY smart thing, also make a time line chart of when things need to be done by so nothing gets skipped to allow proper amount of time needed!! I used to type one up for my brides when I still did weddings.
I always loved unquie little touches that fit the couple... Like one couple always when stop for Krystal burgers after a night out so towards the end of the evening Krystal burgers were passed out lol another couple skipped a huge cake and had an ice cream bar. But even if you skip a cake and do cupcakes I still say do at least a small little two tier cake for pictures of the cake cutting and to save the top layer for your one year anniversary.
Another thing a couple once did was have a wooden box that had a lock and the bride and groom had to write a special letter sharing their feelings of love and how important the other was to them during the wedding both put the sealed letters in the box and lock it (this couple had a special box that also had space for a bottle of wine) and the rule was if they were ever fighting so bad they doubted their marriage then they were to sit down share the bottle of wine and each read the letters out loud to each other to help remember their love for each other.
