Reasons 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

Also, we end up married, which is pleasing too. I'm really glad you made this post, I agree with it very much!

Perhaps I should splash out on that peacock-feather waistcoat from Favourbrook, after all.

But then again, it's Bad Form to outshine the bride, let alone the groom at their wedding. No matter how dashing one might be...

It will be an AWESOME wedding, because of course all weddings are :-p

Go you guys for picking out only the bits you actually want.

I hope there will be much video for those who won't be there. Sounds like it will be the best wedding of the century-so-far if not longer :)
