LOL, not at all. The only thing that went as planned was that she said yes. I wanted to do it on the Corcovado Mountain under the statue of christ (not that I’m religious but it would be a cool place to do it), but when we went it was pouring rain and we couldn’t see more than 200 feet so I decided to wait. Planned on doing it on the hotel balcony and then when I went there it was closed off to set up for a wedding. So I ended up doing it in the hotel room… Kind of sucks but it worked out in the end.

Congrats. As for the wedding planning, just show up in the right tux and emphatically agree when she asks if you like what she likes. No more, no less.

Do any of the recently married have any reception tips? Things that worked out awesome or things to avoid? Looking for some ideas from experienced veterens.

Howie…since you’ve been to 4,092,394 weddings in the past 2 years… anything to input towards reception ideas? Besides open bar.

as an update. The plan for “Simple” has remained, while everything else has changed.

The original plan was to fly the family down to the Cayman Islands, rent a house and yacht for the week. As it turns out, a slue of excuses by family has ditched this effort (i.e “I don’t like the hot weather”,“I hate flying” and “I don’t have a passport”, etc.)

Wedding in our hometown is on May 23rd (as planned) \> Immediate family + closest friend from each half. 15 years to the date of our first kiss.

Reception/Cocktail party for adults only will be held at a mansion here in WNY on the 24th, Sunday evening (Memorial day weekend, nobody works monday)

Trying to arrange an Airforce Fly-over and fire works for shits-n-giggles. We’ll see.

I am currently desigining our cake… but the wife won’t let me DIY it.
