I hear the siren song of 'traditional wedding.' I have two bits of unsolicited advice. Don't take it seriously & plan a kick-ass party. I know you know how to do both. :) We still fondly remember the party at our wedding, which ran from 3 p.m. until 1 a.m. We didn't take it seriously enough to stress about matching the napkins to the bridesmaid dresses, which made things a lot easier too.
