Our Wedding: A Primer

Date: June 27th, 2009

Format: private morning ceremony & luncheon followed by an open evening reception/cake-cutting party at our place

Venue: garden ceremony, luncheon in a haunted 1800s Georgian style manor transformed into a Keg restaurant; evening party at our home

Ceremony: most likely a tailored handfasting ceremony that includes a traditional exchange of rings

Music: a mixture, anything from Benny Goodman to Sean Paul to the Sex Pistols - don't forget to send us your favourite dance tunes for the party playlist!

Theme: vintage/old Hollywood; it wasn't really planned, it sort of organically came together from a shared love of jazz, vintage flair & classic movies

Traditions: another mixture, Dave's a traditionalist and Steph spent a lot of time surfing sites like Offbeat Bride and A Practical Wedding, so don't be surprised if some of the usual wedding traditions are skipped altogether and others are there, but with a twist

Priorities: vows, meaning, good food, good drink, and celebration with friends & family!
