Heck, just have the reception at ProgPower... I know that I'd enjoy the open bar and I'm sure I could find one or two other people from this board who would agree.
Haha!
I don't think mine and Nick's wallets could handle the damage some PP attendees could do at an open bar. But thanks for the suggestion.
After all, getting married is supposed to be about you guys, not you guys and a bunch of drunk people waiting for more music
That's exactly what I was thinking. Besides, Nick and I want to be two of those drunk people waiting for more music ... and I'd prefer if we were not trashed at our own wedding.
It'll be much fun next year, and I must say, have fun planning the wedding. I'm so glad that part won't fall heavily on my shoulders when the time comes lol!
Nick and I are already having a real good time with some of the planning and tossing around ideas. I've been pretty adamant about making sure he knows that this is "our" wedding, not just "my" wedding. By all mean, if I'm asking him about something he could care less about (like say centerpieces or bridesmaid's dresses) than I'm willing to make the decision without him, but I don't want him to feel like it's my wedding and he just gets to show up and pay for stuff. He's already given lots of great input - including the style of his tux - leather, custom made.
(Good thing my best friend and her mom are seamstresses.)
I would like to hear some ideas from folks here on the forum. I did some searching the other day for "heavy metal weddings" and "rock n roll weddings" and
this thread from awhile back came up as one of the first results. Please feel free to share any other ideas you have that we might want to incorporate.
** Just as an FYI, both Nick and I belong to Catholic families (although neither of us are currently practicing Catholics), so we will probably be able to be more liberal with the reception than with what we'd like to do with the actual ceremony. We still haven't officially decided how we are getting married. Nick asked me the other night "You can get married Catholic. You can get married Methodist. You can get married Jewish. Why can't you get married Rock?"
If only I could get my parents to understand that.
I think once we get past this little bit of "political" wedding stuff, things will fall into place much more easily.
