Pagan Weddings (original) (raw)
I stumbled upon the book Instant Weddings, by Jennifer L. Shawne, and I have to highly recommend it to everyone here. It's geared toward those with 4 months or less to plan their wedding, but I found that the advice contained within it really applies to everyone across the board.
A few highlights:
In the first chapter she recommends that each member of the couple compile a seperate list of must haves, would like to haves, and absolutely do not want to haves, and that they then get together with their lists to figure out what are the truly important elements for their wedding.
In other chapters she recommends unique, often unthought of, places to get what's needed for the wedding.
A few of my favorite reception ideas she mentions are snow cones topped with vanilla vodka for a white/ winter themed wedding, and a picnic style reception, which we're now thinking of incorporating into our plans.
The book was published in 2004, and the list price is $14.95, but I found it at the Dollar Tree for a buck, so check there first. :)
