The official Todi Mooers wedding thread - Page 5

OK. I give. I stayed away from posting about the wedding here too much for a long time. Like, nine months. But now that we're three months away from the big day, and the event looms larger and larger, I just can't not post. Inspired by WB's encouragement after my Sooo... rant (and in light of the news that the only LoTter who was scheduled to come is now unable) I've created a thread where I can talk about it with you guys.

So. There's a lot of planning and stress and joy to share with you guys. But I'm only going to do it in little frequent blips, as opposed to a great big data dump all at once. So.

We've chosen a Vintage Movie Theme. We are hosting the "cocktail hour" part of the reception within an old movie theater so we can screen a fun movie we're making for the occasion.

And by "cocktail hour" we mean "movie snacks hour." Popcorn, junior mints, licorice, and the like will be gathered together in this popcorn box (which is, incidentally, part of the inspiration for the color scheme of white and yellow with red accents.)

We're also using the boxes for "welcome" packages for guests who have traveled from out of town and are staying overnight. (Included in the box? Cherry muffins, made by me the week of the wedding. Blueberry jam, made by my jam-tastic brother. Bottles of water. Local information. That kind of thing.)

Here is the theater, Studio M:

And here is the next-door ballroom where we'll have dinner and cocktails (actual ones this time) and dancing:

It isn't quite what I'd pick, but considering the constrictions (needed super-accessible bathroom for Mom, needed flexible vegetarian-food-offering caterer, we can't go outside of Podunk, MI) it suffices pretty well.
