My hubby and I had set feelings about weddings. We choose how, who and where, no one was allowed in put. We got married at sunrise, 40 showed someone counted. At the reception we were at a park forest and played volleyball. There were close to 200 at the reception. One friend as a gift took pictures in the morning and about the time we were asking where he was, he showed up with a completed album as a wedding gift. So, many of the guests were able to see the photos and proof we really got married. We looked at it as our day and if we were not having fun what was the point. My Dad was not sure about the event, but for years later it was the only wedding he talked about, he loved it. We had a theme for the wedding also, wholesale, if you didn't buy it wholesale or on sale don't bring it. Dale something to keep in mind for years down the line, Glenco you should have asked, my whole wedding cost $1000.00. That included the rings, we had friends who were gold dealers.
