Weddings are innately joyous occasions. And as friends spread across the country, these gatherings take on a secondary purpose that adds to the joy: friend reunions. Marlayne and Travis' beautiful wedding completed both of these roles very well.
All the pictures from the event can be seen [here].A few observations from the reception:
- Love the rule of making tables sing in order to make the couple kiss. Much better than people violently banging away on their water goblets.
- Ya gotta dance. The more people dancing, the better. Also, older couples are especially cute.
- Comfy bride shoes are a must. I've known too many brides that suffered on their big day. Maybe it works for some, but I'm glad Marlayne was herself and didn't have to worry about that.
- No wedding line. It's a personal preference, but I love seeing the couple getting to meander and mingle. Plus, they actually get to eat (a little) this way.
- Catch the bouquet! Even if you don't really want it, just catch it and stuff it in some little girl's hands. Believe me, she wants it. I just don't want it to hit the ground. Treat it like the American flag (which probably shouldn't actually be thrown).
- You don't have to use your full reception time. Marlayne and Travis did a great job of this. When they were satisfied with the celebration, they thanked everyone and took off. Bravo.
- If I think of more, I'll add them. That's all for now.
