It all worked out OK anyway, and we're coming up on our 47th anniversary soon enough, so we must have done something right.Ouch! Roger and I got married in the mountains, an hour after sunrise in a pretty little meadow that has since been taken over by a housing development. We had a friend play "In the Garden" on his guitar rather than "The Wedding March" (horrible song). My father-in-law thought it was horrible that we weren't having "The Wedding March" and put a huge effort into trying to find a sound system so he could foist "The Wedding March" on us; fortunately he was unsuccessful. But he also hired a bus to bring family members up to the mountains, which made good sense, but the driver thought that at altitude he might not be able to restart the bus if he turned the engine off so we have these horrible noises in the background of the audio tape of our wedding. And at our reception my grandmother said to me, in a surprised voice, "It was a nice wedding after all!" I don't know what she expected, maybe that we'd wear blue jeans and promise to hate each other?
If the mother of the bride has certain expectations, you're doomed before you start. I suggest that it's time to ask her for her assistance in planning the wedding and booking the venue, etc..
