as a bridesmaid in the wedding, I felt honoured to be a part of something so unique and special. Nic, I had no idea you shed so many tears in the planning process, I hope I wasn't the source of any of them!! It was a beautiful day, a beautiful ceremony/reception, and I'm so glad you had your wedding authentic to your beliefs!! thanks for making me a part of your special day.

This is FABULOUS!! As a zoo lover and a former San Diegan, I would have gotten married at the SD Zoo in a heartbeat. Your wedding was beautiful!

Excellent advice as well. I too feel a bit inadequate looking at some of the rad creations posted by fellow OBT members, but I have to keep reminding myself what is best and most perfect for us. Thanks for sharing!!

I could agree more with the compromising advice. Fact is, you're asking a whole variety of people, with different comfort zones, mobility, diets, ideas of fun, to come and share a day which is as much about celebrating your community as it is about making a promise to each other. So, it only seems fair to try create an event will be positive for everyone. My two cents is draw a big solid line around the ceremony and make sure that it's exactly what you and your partner want, but to relax your grip on the reception, accept the imput of others and build it together!

Also, Nicole, your wedding certainly looks beautiful and, from the joy in your faces, I'd say it probably felt beautiful too. Congratulations.

I love your advice to consider to what extent it will be about you and/or family. On OBB you often hear "it's YOUR day, do what makes you happy!", probably b/c us offbeat folks get so much flak for it from rigid traditionalists people feel the need to be supportive. And while that's an important message, I totally agree that this kind of event is about community and family in a really deep way, and if family is important to you, you should keep that in mind during planning. Also, everything in these pictures is just fabulous. So joyful. And the bride wore snakes and parrots! Rock on you two, and congrats.
