Sorry, long... WE are doing a rustic theme, again mostly because FI is so county, but I can upon a concern today. We want to make the seats for the ceremony from hay, then simply dress them up, so it doesn't look tacky. We were then going to place the hay bells and wicker furniture around the outter edges of the reception, so if guest simply wanted to sit away from the music and chat then they have a place to go. It is a backyard wedding on the So. tip of Shawnee National Forest, in late evening on June 26. Because it is late in the evening we were only going to rent a tent for food covering. We were also going to have candy apples as favors, and as those who've read some of my PP, homemade candy on DIY logs for centerpeices. This is great and I have thought of alot of the detailing except for the time of year is off. I origionally wanted to have it in late October. The 23rd to be exact, beacuse there is suppossed to be a full moon that day. But when I announced this to my family, my sister complained that it was so close to her Birthday(the 25th), so I suggested the 16th, a week prior, but she still threw a fit. So we completely moved it to June 26. But now here's my problem, apples for the candy apples will not be in season, its too early for farmers to bell hay, especially that much hay. **In my sisters defense, she's always been touchy about her b-day, my father always used mine (in September) as an excuse to have a big party when he invited all his family over and had a huge celebration. & for my sisters b-days they were told its too cold for a party, so they wouldn't get nothing more than cake and a couple of invites. However, her wedding is Aug. 28, a week prior to my birthday, & NO, I don't care that it's so close to mine. She can have the day of my b-day and I wouldn't care, but she didn't consider even asking me about what I thought. She stated she origionally wanted to have her wedding June 28, but because mine is set for the 26th she moved it to August. So naturally I suggested that she take my date, and I will move mine back to October like I origionally wanted. & again she ranted about me being inconsiderate. So, now I'm need to make a decision of changing the theme or the approch of the theme, yes I suppose we could just have regular chairs instead of hay bells, and something other than candy apples, but how do compromise on something you wanted That much? TIA, & I know I probably making a BIG deal out of something small, but I just had my heart set on it.
