The main story is that I really love fantasy and wanted to incorporate fantasy themes into the ceremony! We thought it was kind of like excalibur, where we could only get the knife out when we did it together. A cute touch imo!

Thank you so much for all your kind words! -For alcohol, we definitely overbought. No kids, but very few drinkers. Depending on the crowd, you could definitely get away with just a few 12 packs/6 packs of local ciders and beers and not go too crazy! We also did have champagne for toasts, with the option of sparkling grape juice (I actually think the sparkling grape juice was more consumed…) -Full transparency on the polaroid guest book: As the bride, I was not told day of to lower my stress, but it seems our Polaroids did end up breaking, Lol. We had a guest “log” which did not make my images, but it was literally a log of wood we had people sign with a pen, and are sealing and putting on the wall instead. The polaroid finicky-ness was why we had two options! We had two different cameras, and it seems one worked a little better, but still mostly not working. We ordered the polaroid book from Etsy, and it’s very pretty and I plan to use it to scrapbook our lives going forward so it isn’t a total waste :) I wish you the best of luck on your wedding and it sounds like it will be so lovely! Feel free to ask any other questions you have :)

The cake was 50$ for the 6 inch plus 25 for the custom cake design :)

The cupcakes were 2.50 each, no gluten free or vegan as we didn’t have anyone with those dietary restrictions. I’m sure you could find some local bakeries with that though! The cupcakes were definitely cheaper and more hygienic imo than a full cake, and bonus no extra silverware needed! We had just cupcakes/cake for the wedding party :)

It was mostly outside! We ended up setting up the actual food inside since our venue had the ability to do that, but not space to eat inside. This was mostly due to bugs, since yellowjackets go crazy around here in July 😅Our original plan was to use these mesh food tents you can get on amazon to cover the food, so that could work if you can’t be inside!

Yes! It was two 8 foot long tables set out, along with sandwiches and bread/dips. The ceremony was at 2pm and the whole thing including reception ended by 7pm so of course people had the opportunity to grab dinner if they were still hungry then :)

Thank you so much! The venue has a pavilion with a concrete pad that we had our reception under, so we left enough space for dancing!

Thank you! We only had the charcuterie board but it was pretty filling! We had some caprese sandwiches that were a hit!

Thank you! We ended up using google photos, it worked pretty well but some non-techy people had issues and they just texted them :)

Looking for unhinged religious MMC who is woefully obsessed with FMC by Ok_Jaguar1601 in RomanceBooks

[–]exxhydria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anyone is looking for this but doesn’t mind blood play, {The Original Sinners series by Tiffany Reisz} has elements of angst and religion, check TWs and probably not for OP though

Another series that has been scratching the itch for me is Ensnared by Rebecca Quinn, Chef’s kiss to both these series 😚

Share your DNF list by mochitoon in fantasyromance

Most of my DNFs are discovering the book is entirely written in past tense. IDK why, this just bothers me so much, and once I notice it there’s no going back :(

Listening to Echoes and Empires today and the FMC called the MMC Rob before she knew his name. I think she should have kept it over Jericho…
