The NO List

One of the most gratifying aspects of Wedding Planning has been the creation of  a "NO" list. The NO List is simple: a list of things that will not be found at our wedding.  The list is growing, so there is a good chance that I will be posting many NO List items as they crop up.  Such as the following:

{ The Open Mic }
This is not an opportunity for your relatives and friends to perform their stand-up routine.  This is not the night to tell inappropriate or irrelevant or extra long stories.  This is a wedding.



{ Children }
Don't get me wrong: bring your children to the wedding.  Bring them to the reception.  But don't tell me that your kid wants to be stuffed into a huge dress and told be still and shut up for an entire day.  She doesn't.  



{ Huge Wedding Party }
We don't even know this many people.  And while we're at it, No Overalls.



If you were getting married this year, what would be on your NO List?

None of that going under the dress! Too much.
Oh! And I advise you to ix-nay the cake in the face. Or any cake at all.

We really didn't want an open mic, but since so many people from Rodney's side of the family couldn't make it we decided to open it up so people could bring well wishes from out of towners. Glad we did it... but totally understand why you DON'T want to do it. ... especially with relatives like Tyler. :)
