In my opinion, I feel that the overpriced weddings of today are ridiculous! I want my wedding to be a party and for everyone to have fun and remember it as a celebration and a great time! I want my bridesmaids to wear cute shoes they'll love and fun dresses they can wear again. However, there's always the issue of how to go about this and I would love suggestions! I was thinking of having a later ceremony, around 7 or 8pm, and then a reception involving an open bar and appetizers and dancing and mingling with all the guests instead of sitting tucked away in a corner. We could still have all the traditions: first dance, receiving line, best man speech, all that. I think a huge sit-down 5 course meal is silly and a waste of money. I'd rather spend the money on a fabulous honeymoon! Is this something people do? Where would a good place be? Any ideas? Suggestions? Concerns? Thanks in advance!
