It's a wedding, not a circus

During the odyssey that has been planning my wedding, I have noticed a similarity among most weddings I've heard or read about others planning: They're all about entertaining the guests. Now don't get me wrong; I'd hardly want guests at our wedding to be bored. It's just that it never occurred to me to organize a pre-wedding scavenger hunt, rent a photo booth for the reception, put together a self-serve bar of cookies or candies or whatever, and have games at each table. Heck, we're not even having dancing at our reception. We just want to sit down with our guests to a really nice dinner, to mark the occasion of our joining our lives. Call me cranky. Just don't call me a circus producer.
