We were engaged for two months--(no, I was pregnant. :wink: ) We picked the date and the church before we told our parents. We bought the flowers ourselves. Mostly used the poinsettias on the alter for Christmas. We gave my MIL control over the cake and my mom control over most the reception food. We invited 50 people--had the reception at my parent's house--we made all the food--just sandwiches and stuff... and off to Niagara Falls for two nights. Simple--no billis--no frills. Married 25 years this December.... so simple works. :wink:
There's a historical "Little Church" right down the road form us--and I'm hoping both kids will get married in there. They can come here for a reception if it's not many people and in the summer...
