WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENT:
It is the responsibility of the bride's family to announce the wedding in the local newspaper.
The announcement should include:
A photograph of the bride (A high school yearbook picture or police mugshot is acceptable);
Name of the groom, education completed by both bride and groom (DO NOT include primary school, unless that was the terminal degree.);
Current employment and planned residence after the ceremony, (If living with the brides parents, it is NOT necessary to specify where in the house you will reside).
INVITATIONS:
Since you are having a planned wedding and you are expecting a lot of free stuff, you MUST send out invitations!
They do not have to be lengthy. Something like "You are invited to watch ____ and ______ make it legal on ______. " will suffice nicely.
If you don't want to be so formal you can always run down to the local pub and yell "If youse aint doing nothin' on Saturday, why don't you slope over to my house for a cold one about 2 o'clock. Me and _______ 's having some mates over to watch the footy game and witness our wedding."
PROPER ATTIRE:
For the bride, the key words are "be conservative."
No matter how good it may look, refrain from wedding outfits made with spandex or adorned with fringes. Excessive slits and neck-lines also are frowned upon. This is NOT the occasion to show the world how big "THEY" are.
For the groom, a rented tuxedo is 'haute couture', but if it means the difference between going on a honeymoon and staying home, consider some alternatives.
For example, a Safari suit or Track-Suit with a cummerbund and a clean work shirt can create a natty appearence. And though possibly uncomfortable, say "yes" to socks and shoes for this special occasion.
THE CEREMONY:
No matter how urgent the event, loaded weapons have no place at the altar.
At the point in the ceremony that says, "If anybody has any reason why these two should not be joined in holy matrimony......" tell the Minister/Celebrant not to pause too long, old flames sometimes die hard and talk too much.
As the ceremony is concluded, you and ____ should realize that a short kiss will do. This is neither the time nor the place to demonstrate your sexual expertise to the world. That's why the video camera was invented.
RECEPTION:
Remember to reserve the C.W.A./church hall far in advance, and avoid Saturdays, since that's bingo night.
It is perfectly acceptable to ask guests to wipe their feet or leave their Gumboots at the door, before entering the hall. After all, the cleaning deposit can be the difference between an oil change and a full tune-up for the car.
When dancing never remove undergarments, no matter how hot it is!!
