Our wedding was perfect. It was so for lots of reasons. Our ceremony reflected who we are perfectly, the reception was a communal celebration, my family was fairly well-behaved...
But the main reason it was so flawless was in part to the warm reception of others to the causes we were supporting through our union. We asked people to donate to the African Children's Choir in lieu of a wedding gift and many did (though physical presents were great blessings to us as well).
Instead of dinging glasses to encourage us to kiss, we asked people to "Ring a bell for the Bells!" and donate a dollar (or more) to Austism Speaks to help raise awareness and funding for people with autism. (as an aside, my school will host 3 classes of purely children with autism...I really feel these special children are my niche.)
peace, the bells.
