good idea!

i thought of something else i am having - i am getting this collage made it up - the border will be all pics of our parents and grandparents on their wedding day and the middle will be our engagement pic

i will also have a table with all frame pictures from our relationship - which i am looking forward to doing because we haev been to JR prom, prom, vacations and a million other events together

and everyone can see when i was a pudgy little girl and FH was a skinny little thing - we have switched places!

We're having:

VH with chocolate fountain
unity candle
cake cutting
bridal arch
programs
'Soon to Be' jacket
veil and tiara
OOT baskets - or I should say any guests staying at the hotel (OOT guests or local guests that just don't want to drive home)
Intro with BP, Parents, and Grandmother into reception

we were at our CH the whole time. it was the best way to say hello to everyone.

and we did the cha cha slide, it was fun.
