A British Wedding

I'm back from my whirlwind Spain and England trip! I was at a beautiful wedding in England, the wedding of the beautiful Rachel and her groom Jay. One piece of their wedding structure stuck out to me:

How do you manage a small wedding with a large group of friends??

Rachel and Jay solved this problem with a simple three-step wedding dance.

Step One: The ceremony was a quiet affair with mostly family and a handful of close friends - 60 people in total.

Step Two: Post-ceremony a dinner was held, on the deck of the same rooftop where they had the ceremony.

Step Three: Three hours after the ceremony had begun, and just as the very young and the very old were beginning to prepare to leave, the rest left for the reception. The reception, held on a docked boat just down the street from the ceremony, was really more of a dance party. Another 60 friends were invited, another wedding dessert awaited on board, and the "reception" - a more casual affair, continued well into the night.

Great idea Rachel and Jay, and congratulations!
