billiewinter's Chocolate wedding

I have been thinking a lot lately about the wedding and the people who are involved. We are not having a "traditional" wedding by any means. Well i guess there are some traditional elements but I’m trying to keep it unique. I have to Maid of honours. Danika and Erin. I have known these girls my whole life and couldn’t just pick one. And my FH has two Best Men Robert and Marc. These are the people that will be standing at the alter or in my case in front of the pond with us.
Than we have the "brides maid and grooms men" My 2 Older Brothers Richard and Ryan and Mikes Brother in Law Steve. Than we have Richard and Ryan’s Wives Sue and Abby And Mikes Sister Tara. They are very much part of the wedding but due to the small space in front of the pond where we are exchanging vows. They will walk down the Aisle together than sit in the first row with the parents. I am also considering not having a head table.
I was thinking of just having a table in the middle of the tent reserved for Mike and Myself for the speeches. I don’t know how many Weddings I have been to that they are never seen at the head table except for speeches and the little bit of dinner that they get to eat. We are having a buffet that my aunts are making for us. (explain that later) But we have asked that during cocktail hr while everything’s getting set up that they will make us some plates and we will have our own little private dinner. I know this is usually the time we are to mingle with our guest but we are just considering it as an alternative for now.
Any Ideas???
