Weddings

When the wife and I got married we took one look at the estimate* and opted for a family-only ceremony in front of our fireplace followed by a small reception at a local restaurant and a larger informal one at a picnic ground for our fiends a few weeks later.  I think our decision had something to do with not having to live under a hedge after the honeymoon.

*That and after we sweated blood getting the invite list down to 75 people I noticed that we'd forgotten my sister.
