I know I want my wedding to be like 'elegant garden picnic' sort of thing. Like...Anne of Green Gables (If you haven't seen it, watch the links), but also unique and fun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcAzEea4j

(this is a long one...what I mean starts at about 3:47) What I was thinking is, the ceremony would be in a lighthouse around 9am, and then we'd all go up to a nice camping grounds(not dirty, I know a place with a Stone Hall and waterfalls and everything.) The reception would be around noon to four or five. When people first get there, from whatever time it takes them to get from the ceremony to the reception until noon, there will be a table for gifts, snacks, signing the guestbook, and mingling in the Hall. At noon is a picnic, personalized picnic blankets set out with a picnic basket on each that people can fill with what they want out of a buffet table(of course there would be nice chairs, like the ones in the second video, available for those who have problems sitting on the ground)...kind of like at sit-down dinner weddings there's assigned seating at tables. Then from about 1:30 to 4 or 5 there would be camp/picnic games (a lot like the ones in the video), light music, or for whoever wanted to there would be a guided hike up to the waterfall. Then at 4 or 5 the latest 6(as an ending "ok that's it" entertainment, there would be a few professional storytellers there), most of the people would go home and just immediate family & the wedding party would stay behind for dinner. Dinner would be in the Hall, family table style, and would be set up like a memory sharing/video montage time. After all that's said and done, whoever doesn't like the idea or has other things to do could go home, but whoever wanted to would stay there and camp with us. Early the next morning we'd leave by hot air balloon. So, what do you think of this wedding plan? What would you do if you attended a wedding like this? (also, please skip the "oh that's going to cost ssoo much money, I hope you're rich." stuff. I'm no Donald Trump, but (sorry, not to be rude) I don't really have to want for anything)...so just answer the first two. Thanks. (=

I think that having your ceremony at 9am is going to be a nightmare. A lot of people will resent having to get up that early and you will probably have a lot of people running late. In addition, you will have to get up at the crack of dawn to make sure that everything can be done. I also think that people are not going to dress appropriately and you are going to have ladies in heels and men in suits/sport coats (even if you write it on your invite). I also think that you should do everyone on the ground or chairs and tables for everyone. I understand about older guests but if I was at a wedding and had to sit in a dress on the ground I wouldn't be too thrilled.
