Fortunately, both of our mothers were in different cities far away, and didn't arrive until things were pretty much in place. Jolanda crocheted her dress because she *wanted* to, a friend made the liner as a wedding gift, and I bought a "wedding suit" (which I understand is more generally a European custom) which I then hunted jobs in. Instead of having a rehearsal dinner, we threw a party for all of our pals who came from oh-so-far-away to see us get hitched, and went out to breakfast with them the morning of the wedding instead of sitting around soiling our drawers worrying. Lots of fireworks from my in-laws for A) being Anglican instead of Baptist (Episcopalians eat their young, y'know) B) toasting with Champagne at the wedding. But when the fireworks were over, only the smoke remained. We stood firm on the issues we felt were important, we backed them by not tying what we did to our parents' footing the bill, and it went quite well. We were both awake all the way through the operation, and we only had an attack of the "blurs" in the car on the way to the hotel. Greg
