Outdoor weddings...

They sure can be fun...but there are challenges.
Good weather of course is the variable that can be hoped for but not planned on. In 20 years of DJing weddings I can tell you that we have only had one ceremony moved inside and one reception that was rained heavily on but the tent protected all. Fun Times DJ might be good luck!
Insects can be another challenge. Mosquitoes on the guests, flies on the food or every seven years secedas in the air, very loud. Planning ahead can minimize their impact.
Neighbors. Make sure you invite them. Another thing you can do to play it safe is to lower the times in the day. Instead of 6p to 12a do 3:30p to 9:30p.
Have a great wedding and get a DJ to make sure it is the right mix of outdoor casual with the right amount of wedding formal.

The above heading popped up on my Gmail account.  Below is what happens when you click on it.

It is a clearinghouse for DJ's, photographers and videographers.  Translated they will sell your date to someone with speakers.  Forget about a personalized experience. 
Ask any bride, getting to meet your vendors in advance is one of the most important things you must do.

To smash or not smash...

Above is a picture of Samantha and Kevin Johnson as they share their wedding cake January 15, 2012 at Strawberry Creek Golf Club.  Eventually they did frost each others face. But beware!  Make sure you really know your spouse if you do.  I have seen it lead to a couples first argument as husband and wife.
