A Community Wedding

I just completed a communal Google Docs spreadsheet to share with the members of the Wedding Committee, so that I'd feel like we're making progress. I am teacher thus I like to be organized. I like to-do lists on which I can exuberantly cross off items that are done, so I definitely needed a list for this whole wedding thing.

I do need some assistance in many things including maintaining my sanity (just kidding). Soon, we are going to have an "Assembly Party" that will include the makings of the details that will go in to the day of. Also, I will be posting a link soon on how to be a photographer at my wedding. And...does anyone have an extra croquet, horseshoe, bocce ball, Scrabble set they'd like to bring? I just have one of each, and I want to make sure that everyone can be gamin' if they so wish. If you do, please let me know ASAP. Thanks.

All this help from people like you exactly embodies what a wedding should be: a community event. It should not be full of froo-froo bows and little girls dressed like shepherdesses, but of family and friends helping out where/when they are needed. I came across this article that compares building a wedding to raising a barn, and I thought, "yeah, this is the stuff."

Thanks again to everyone willing to participate.
