Ok, I'll preface this with the fact that I have been married twice. I got the "nice" wedding with the first and a "little" wedding with the second...so this time, I want to have the "fun" wedding! My FI and I have been friends since Jr. High, sort of a movie/storybook romance, etc...and we're both Pittsburgh born and raised! We're having a Steelers/black-n-gold themed wedding and are probably having the wedding/reception at North Park.
So I woke up this morning and had what I thought was a flash of brilliance...
Since we are planning an August wedding, most likely outdoors, I really don't want our GM/BM to be uncomfortable in tuxes that they'll sweat in and dresses that they may or may not like/wear in the future. So I had an epiphany...why not get our wedding party personalized Steelers jerseys (guys wear black, girls wear white) for them to wear for the ceremony/reception? It's something that they'll probably WANT to keep and wear again, and since August is the start of the season, it would be a perfect time!
My matron of honor and one of my other BM thinks it's an awesome idea, as does my FI and my daughter (who will be a FG).
I'll also mention our idea for a BM/GM touch football game during the reception... :-D
