Wedding ettiquette

If you are waiting for a long list of do's, don'ts and should do's don't look here... I am such an anti-etiquette girl. Martha Stewart won't be at your wedding, nor will Emily Post. I meet with so many brides that have themselves all upset because they want to do something a certain way at (ehem) their own wedding!
So that was the rant, here is the advice.
> Is is seriously going to hurt someone's feelings (ex. your mother...)
> Is it going to make you the laughing stock of the family for years to come?
> Will it make your fiance' question the very reason he proposed?

If you have not answered yes to any of the above questions I say forge on!
>If you want to have conktails before the ceremony- go ahead!
>If you want to have 2 Maids of Honor and 3 flower girls, go for it!
>If you want to cut the cake before the toasts, well my friend, I commend you for being an individual.
Weddings should be a time for demonstrating the immense love you have for each other, celebrating with family and friends, and making memories. If not following a decades old ettiquette rule will allow you to do the preceeding then why not?

So off my soapbox I go... Have a great Super Bowl Sunday!
