Nope, someone will think you're wrong or stupid or whatever. F*** 'em. It's your day, your memories, and frankly, no one will remember the little details except for a handful of people anyway. Do you remember the shoes of the brides whose weddings you've been to in the past? Probably not.<br /><br />I wore white sneakers under my wedding dress. I hate shoes. I live in black New Balance sneakers. So I compromised and bought feminine white leather sneakers that were totally flat and something I'd never wear. But they were comfortable. Everyone told me I just *had* to at least decorate them with lace. Uh, no. You're lucky I'm not barefoot and wearing tiedye.<br /><br />I got a lot of good advice on budget wedding planning from the Bridal Bargains books (http://www.windsorpeak.com/bridalbargains/default.html). I did a lot of things that others thought cheap: no cocktail hour, no open bar (just beer/wine on the tables), no limo (although a family member decided to pay for it since they thought it horrific to show up at my wedding in a Nissan Maxima; I thought it horrific to pay $300 for a limo ... but if you're paying ...). My flowers cost very little. Small mini carnation centerpieces. My bridesmaid had carnations, and mine was roses. My giveaway gift was a bookmark I had made up with a quote from a favorite song, and our names/wedding date on it; very cheap, but very personal.<br /><br />Oh, and I love the idea of the street food truck! It's different, and it's something I'd always remember from a wedding, not another plate of mediocre swedish meatballs.<br /><br />Remember: it's YOUR wedding. The only people that need to be happy are you and your fiance. (And maybe your mom a little bit, since she's a friend of mine :) I haven't met you, but I just love how you come across so unique and a free spirit ... plan your wedding to be an extension of your awesome personality! And screw everybody else. ;)<br /><br />SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399974045291262224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7466236737349062464.post-9973467238512576562011-01-15T11:52:59.260-08:002011-01-15T11:52:59.260-08:00You don't HAVE to do ANYTHING that you don'...You don't HAVE to do ANYTHING that you don't WANT to do. IF you were throwing some BIG LAVISH $50K+ wedding, then yeah, there are "expectations" and you are laying out the money for that crap & people are expecting something. Trust me, you don't want that junk! <br />Here's what you should do--plan YOUR wedding. Don't plan anyone else's wedding and don't let anyone else plan yours! You are different, you are unique & you are individual! Everyone who is coming to your wedding already knows this & LOVES this about you. If you had some "typical" wedding we'd all be like "oh...that's weird. That didn't seem to suit those guys AT ALL". Do what is right for YOU! It's your guys's day! <br />Have fun with it! AND you are TOTALLY off to the right start with the pig! That's so cool!!<br />And flats--uh, yeah, if you want to wear flats & you found cute shoes you like--it's FINE! <br />This is a fun day--pretty much EVERYONE is going to be all teary & crying anyway! hee hee So just enjoy it! If you don't want to feel like doing flowers for it, don't. If you feel like buying some flowers from the market & setting them up in vases on tables would be just as nice--you have friends who will ALL pitch in to help. Don't worry so much. Remember your audience--all of us, we know you guys & love you & are just wanting to get together to celebrate that you found each other. Just have fun!!Sew Adventuroushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05286155172168427814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7466236737349062464.post-78485364942826460012011-01-14T23:46:00.424-08:002011-01-14T23:46:00.424-08:00you are sooooo absolutely right....do what you wan...you are sooooo absolutely right....do what you want...it's your day...<br /><br />love, mom...Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851491045370381874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7466236737349062464.post-38883645995339358992010-11-29T08:25:03.230-08:002010-11-29T08:25:03.230-08:00I discovered Marc when he was a regular on progess...I discovered Marc when he was a regular on progessive talk radio (I have no idea which branch)--sort of lost track of him until your post.

If my buddy @therightclique is at the show you're going to (he's also a big Marc fan) you two to say 'hi'.<br /><br />I think you really hit the nail on the head when you said Marc doesn't have to be angry to be funny (even if he thinks he does). I think Marc is best, in either stand-up or in his interviews, when he allows himself to be vulnerable. When he let's down his guard SO DO WE. <br /><br />And I love what you had to say about Marc treating his fans like friends. He is so respectful and appreciative to us.
