2nd Time Around

So, if we were to do this whole wedding thing over again…
Cocktail Hour:
Russian shish kabobs. They’re not like the ones pictured. Russian ones have loads of meat and no veggies (well, sometimes crazy people add onions…). These are not your itsy-bitsy, delicate little shish kabobs. These shish kabobs are BIG. The skewers are long. Little kids run around trying to poke each other’s eyes out with them and cry when their parents threaten to take them away. Messy and fun.
Cotton candy machine. I can just picture the kids pressed up around the cotton candy man. Regular cotton candy is great, but in Maine we have something called Maple Sugar cotton candy, which would be great for the adults.
Picnic atmosphere (why do I have a picture from “The Sound of Music?” A- this movie ROCKS and B- don’t they look happy on their picnic?). Three-legged races. People sitting around on quilts or on funky twig furniture. Potato sack races. Horse-shoes. Rowing on the lake (provided there is a lake nearby at this imaginary wedding of mine).
I attempted to explain this first to my mother, then to my father, then an aunt. They say it’s nice that I have such an active fantasy world.
What about you? Do you have any “fantasy wedding” ideas?

i think an ideal wedding would be a three day weekend gala in a semi-destination wedding at a winery if i could do it again. A lot more casual than what we did have… maybe outdoor ceremony, a barn reception, and a whole lotta fun.
Yeah - bringing a keg in! Paying for open bar with our friends and my family is a DRAG!
I wish we could have jet packs and fly away after we say our vows! Soo funny and unrealistic.
We want our dog as the ring bearer.. everyone seems to think that is total fantasyland!
um duh… i guess i didn’t really answer your question of “fantasy.” what i’d really want is a barbecue/clambake/luau extraordinaire. i want to be able to swim in the food and alcohol. ah if only.

About Me: I actually don't really love weddings (!) and I don't really like broccoli. Fortunately, I have learned that both are not so bad if you squint your eyes and hold your breath. When I'm not planning our 180-ish (90% family!) person wedding, I like to poke fun at Mr. Broccoli, read big books, and drink endless cups of tea.
My fantasy wedding would involve winning the lottery so that we wouldn’t go broke paying for it!
