Yah, we ran smack up agin the problems of trying to handle the marriage
stuff for sure. 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.
