jackReasons why I'm incredibly pleased I'm able to have the wedding we're having:
* Ceilidh
* The groom gets to wear exciting clothes as well as the bride (who gets to wear a corset dress)
* Officiated by people who know and like us
* Music by people who know and like us
* Awesome cake by people who know and like us
* Illuminated manuscript contract! We have an illuminated manuscript about how we love each other! (Seriously, "how" is quite detailed.)
* Marriage in one of the biggest, most impressive buildings in Cambridge, which most people don't get to do
* All the little details of the ceremony seem to have found a perfect optimum that feel both "us", and "reasonably appropriate to a wedding" and ""
* Awesome people coming from all over the world to celebrate us
* Awesome vows
* The ability to throw out all of the stupid sexist traditions we didn't want!
* Reception in beautiful garden

I think a question I asked myself was "would I get married, even if it was a secret" (because I know there's social pressure to get married), and I decided I would, so I knew I wasn't just doing it because it was expected (or because you get a big party :))
In fact, I started this just to reassure myself that despite worrying that lots of things would turn out sub-par for various reasons, almost everything about the wedding I now really like.
