I am getting married next month, and this was only decided a week and a half ago. As you may think, it is crazy hectic at the moment, getting everything planned. We are doing good still, I have cake, my bouquet, my dress, the food, the venue, the favors and invitations all done. My mother is arriving 4 days before the wedding, and we will be running around like mad-women to accomplish most of the decor things for the venue. There are a few things I haven't figured out, that I thought perhaps someone might have an idea for, as well as a small dilemma.
First off. My venue has one large room for both the reception and ceremony. It is long and somewhat narrow, with a stage. I am planning on having 8 ft tables against the walls, staggered so everyone can sit at their reception seat for the ceremony. My problem here, is aisle definition. I want something to make the aisle clear. I figure an aisle runner can accomplish this, but does anyone know of anything cheap to add for more definition?
Ok, my mind went blank on the other question, but I still have the dilemma.
I have one mother, and three "fathers." My real father, my step father, and a friend of my father that we have called Papa Steve since we were small. I want my mother to walk me down the aisle. My father most likely wants to do it, as does my step father. I am not sure how exactly I should go about saying "no thanks" to the dads. I'm not sure if my father is coming yet, and if he does, I honestly do not want him to walk me down the aisle. I would prefer just my mom, but being the softy I am, it will be hard to tell the dads I want her to. How do I word this, and cause the least offense?
I am losing my mind the closer we get to the date. I just realized today that my sister and father will be in the same room for the first time in a year, and I am not sure how well this will end. Geesh. I think I will need a lot of luck on January 8th.
