Important questions: quality answers

Hi all!

For the next few weeks I plan to do an every Tuesday post!
Eric an I have been getting some wedding related questions lately so my posts will focus on getting those bad boys answered.
(so if you have a question, feel free to put it in the comments!)

Q: "You guys keep saying you are having a non-traditional wedding. What the hell does that mean?"
A: We do want to clarify this a bit- while we might not be incorporating some of the things that many weddings have, this is still a full blown celebration of our marriage, with all of our favorite people attending  (hopefully) which will make for an awesome party!
Our wedding is planned for 1-4 in the afternoon at Grace, a lovely restaurant which has a comfortable and relaxed-upscale atmosphere. Yeah, it's a Church. No kidding. (Eric an I have found alllll the religion.....)
 We are so lucky to be having our ceremony officiated by Lauren Snead, a good family friend (the wife of my best childhood friend!) Actually, the second Eric proposed I knew exactly who I wished to have officiate our wedding and we are very lucky to have her join us all the way from Oakland, California. We just love her and know that she will give us the perfect ceremony for our big day! A link to Lauren's website, if you are curious! (oh and get ready for a long, LONG ceremony. She's coming all the way from the West Coast! We want to make it worth her time!!)
After the ceremony we will have lots of yummy food, in small bite format. This will not be a sit down plated dinner with rigid seating arrangements but rather a time to enjoy each others company with the addition of lots of delicious food choices. There will be a cash bar, as this makes enjoying each others company easier...
(see that! I'm making fun of us! If y'all aren't used to that by now we need to hang out more. with wine ;-))
What you might not notice since you will be having so much fun is the fact that we are designing our wedding as a time to enjoy and visit with our guests. We have all been to a ton of weddings over the years and what often seems to get lost in the bustle of "dance!" "photos!" "cake!" "bouquet!" is the time to really socialize and enjoy all the people who have come a long way to celebrate. I really like you guys an I want more than a courtesy hello! I mean seriously, I don't want to be off somewhere for 2 hours taking formal photos while you are all having the fun and eating the damn food!
(so what I'm saying is that you peeps had better plan to be fun and entertaining... no pressure!)
So there is a quick overview. Ceremony, food, fun, booze, jenga, high fives, skills competitions, the usual. Can't wait!
