I am absolutely in love with this post, because it puts into words so perfectly how my fiance and I are approaching the whole thing...it's a rather strange and fun blend of traditions we like, and whatever other crazy ideas make us happy.

And we're also getting married on a Sunday, in the late afternoon, next January...in Chicago. It's risky, weather-wise, and may not go as planned, but it's what works for us and makes us happy, and if I need to wear boots under my dress between the chapel and the reception...then we'll have some very unique wedding pictures!

We are having dinner, however, because our Polish and Mexican families are all about food...so we're having two buffet lines: one with Mexican food from his parents' restaurant, and one with Polish food from a local place by me.

So congrats, you guys, and thanks for sharing this!

Liz, I would really appreciate any tips you have! Especially regarding food for 200 people (that's how many we will likely have too). I love the idea of a dessert reception. We were thinking dessert and snacks, but nothing major. Did you just set everything out for people to eat as they mingled? Did you have a bartender? So many questions :) If you have time, you can shoot me an email at crane.lauren@gmail.com. Thanks!

Being wed at the end of the day is my fiance's one goal/must-have for our wedding day. Loved this post, thanks!

Liz, love your words of wisdom. Another reason we are total bloggy sisters. It's amazing that your family/friends were so involved. That love and devotion is a wedding celebration!

lauren: nearly 200 folks. i'd love to share my tips with you! (we learned some things the hard way)

westside: alvina valenta. i found it all over the place on ebay and used dress sites. i just asked the tailor to make it tighter (i think my exact words were "va-va-voom") and add the sweatheart neckline.

allison, barefoot: definitely hear you here, and we had some of those folks, too. (or even better... the folks who don't want to do anything unless it's done THEIR way) i guess what i'm trying to stress is the wedding day shouldn't be "me me me" or even "flowers favors photos." it should be about something bigger. and you both seem to have that goin on.
