Fun stuff to do at a wedding reception

[kerewin21 2]

At my aunt's wedding they did the quarter drop.....you have to pick up a quarter between your buttcheeks and drop it into a glass

God, my parents would DIE if I did this!!! (Are you even serious??? I'm very gullible, so maybe you're just yanking my chain...)

I'm basically doing this for my parents' benefit, so I'm thinking about putting out some photos from our 'first' wedding (in which we're wearing Moroccan outfits).

The karaoke idea is actually pretty good, I can see my friends getting into that... Though once again, my parents might be mortified!

Thanks all for the great ideas. It's nice to know I'm not the only one in this situation ( I knew I wasn't, but it's good to see others finding good ways around it...)

I'm absolutely serious! They did something else funny too but I can't remember because I was only 6 (I only remember being told by my mother about the quarter drop, since I'm getting married in May she suggested it, I said no way ).

One of my aunt's friends got a stripper for her bachelorette party (I was there but was in another hotel room with her future stepsons hanging out, they didn't let me join the fun I was only 6 though....) and my Nannie was there! She even danced with him, there are pictures. My grandmother, head of the church library and a conservative woman dancing with a stripper

We got married November 25 at the JP, had a couple of friends/coworker to see the ceremony as well as be the witnesses, went out to dinner, bought a small cake, champagne .

But on Feb. 19 we had our big party like you wanted something a little more special...

So a friend rented her clubhouse at her apartment complex where I also babysit.

Decorated in the valentine's day theme, put out lots of candy.... cute party/wedding favors...

I asked three of my best friends to officiate our cermony, had some issues there , but the best ones agreed, to do the Unity Candle, rings, and vows....

Anton and I chorographed our entry he down the stair case, me through the main doorway to Elvis's I Can't Help Falling in Love with YOU.

Funny case, my friend doing the music messed up and turned it down to soon and then I turned around and the candles for the Unity part weren't lit, so I said, Cut! Take Two. Someone ran to find a match to light the candles, out of 60 people no one had a lighter or a match. One lady who was at the Clubhouse pool ran across the street to her house to get a lighter. We started over again.. and it went perfectly.

One of the cool things we did was we put small white hankerchiefs on the alter which which represented Anton and Me, we placed our rings there, and then our friends each took a dry rose which was passed out by the girl I babysit and placed them on the alter before they came up and gave us hugs and well wishes. The roses represent there love and support of our marriage. I bought little heart baskets so the roses are in the baskets sitting on our mantle at home as a reminder of what a great day we had .....

Have Fun is the main suggestion and do what brings the most joy to your life!!!!
