Wedding planning

Hey,

We need to start planning for our wedding pretty soon. It's only a couple of weeks away. This is going to be a very special lesson and one that has the word 'catastrophe' written all over it, but we're going to do it anyway. The practical side of things is still a bit hazy, but the idea is that both our teacher trainees will take part in the lesson and we will put you in groups with specific assignments. One group will be in charge of, say, games and activities. Another will take care of the actual ceremony (this would include both bride and groom as well as the priest and all that). Or maybe you don't feel like throwing a traditional Christian wedding? Maybe you'd like to go Muslim for a day? That would certainly be interesting and would, moreover, tie in well with our topical notion of multiculturalism. Anyway, if you have any thoughts on that, feel free to post them.

Here's something I came across today that you can use as an appetizer. It has some handy vocabulary in it that you can make use of. Of course, this is a very traditional approach to the whole thing, but I think it's good to know the traditions first before you start breaking them.

I don't know about you, but I'm pretty excited about this.
