Wedding Managment 101
This is not, I repeat, not a guide to how you should conduct your wedding. What you should do is have a small wedding at the church down the street and a reception in your backyard. "Why?" you ask. Because it's easy, cheap, and probably just as much fun.
Being someone who's not much interested in easy, cheap, and probable fun - I've gone the difficult, expensive, and spectacle route - not to mention my fiancee is Danish so the wedding's there.
Difficult - Everyone wants travel advise and the only thing should say is "There are about 150 ways to get to Aarhus, Denmark they're all equal in that they get you from point A to B, and they all have they're plusses and minuses. Choose your own adventure." What I really do is tell them about all 150 different options. Good practice for me, overkill for them. I enjoy the challenge, though and I'm real excited about helping people get their travel in. Given that it's my wedding, I better be.
Expensive - I guess not so much more than a regular wedding - the receptions where the money goes - but folks have to spend a good deal of cash to get there. I'm grateful that I've got so many friends and family members who care enough about me and my fiancee that they'll pony up the dough (and the time) to make the trip. I'm looking forward to seeing their reactions to Aarhus. I think they'll really like the town. Since they're going to such lengths to attend with us, we're trying to go to as far a length to pay them back as we can. Should be a good show when we get there.
Spectacle - What choose your own adventure story isn't? If we don't lose at least 10 people in western Europe on their travels I'll be baffled. BAFFLED, I tell you. On top of that, however, will be the actual wedding. The tiniest church ever. Squeezing family and friends in there should be a good show - some larger than others. The reception will be at the oldest town ever - really "Den Gamle By" means The Old Town. Very cool. Should be very fun.
