When I was calling around interviewing ministers for my musical theater/karaoke wedding, I actually had one tell me "Oh, honey...you don't want to duet into your ceremony. That's just too much pressure!" When I explained that my fiance and I had done quite a bit of musical theater and were used to that sort of thing, she actually said (in her most uppity-pretentious voice): "Well, I've done SEVERAL CELEBRITY weddings and you would not believe how nervous they are. You do NOT want to sing on your wedding day." Um...thanks...CLICK! I ended up finding a minister who sang and played guitar and was all down with it - and it was a blast! OH - P.S. Nordstroms.com is a great place to find cool, chic, re-wearable dresses. I found a Marilyn Monroe inspired knee length dress for $150. Best part - you can order multiple sizes, try them on at home and return whatever doesn't work to the store! No pressure and no pushy salespeople forcing a veil on to your head!

Thank you for cheering up MY day. I was going to post it on my OBT blog, but for some reason, the links wouldn't paste in. I just squealed in a law school computer lab. How un-lawyerlike. WOW!
