And that slump I mentioned goes wayyyy beyond writing, but I didn't want to take over your blog comments with all the trouble I'm having at the moment, especially not publicly.

Friends or relatives can pass out programs, be in charge of the guestbook, cut the cake, etc. My sister-in-law didn't really have a wedding party; she and her husband just had the 2 required witnesses be best man and maid of AnneMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462442204217572325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758330335100037759.post-13131589837360183312015-10-09T10:16:48.631-05:002015-10-09T10:16:48.631-05:00I'm an only child, but Andy has a younger brot...I'm an only child, but Andy has a younger brother and sister who I feel obligated to include, even though I kind of like the idea of no bridal party at all.

I have a post coming at some point about why I don't care about having a bridal party.

It would be so fun to hang out with you two. I think about that, sometimes, that my husband and I are just “different” in the realm of hanging out with others. I love parties, but on the rare occasion that we end up at parties where the main focus is drinking and small talk, I feel like a fish out of water!

We don't go to bars (we aren't big drinkers... we may have a drink at a restaurant or at home from time to time but that's rare), we don't party, etc. so one of the things that we *do* do for fun together is play games.
