A Southern Wedding
"Somebody is Going to Die If Lily Beth Doesn't Catch that Bouquet: The Official Southern Ladies Guide to Hosting the Perfect Wedding"
'Tis a mouthful for a book even by my standards but being from the south and living through my own big fat southern wedding, I couldn't resist giving it a nod. Especially since the authors' first bookwas about how to throw the proper southern funeral.
For my southern wedding, our invitation was printed in the church bulletin, in effect inviting the entire church body to attend. No rsvps. Because that is the way it is done. I stil twitch a little upon hearing that phrase.
Any of you finding yourselves a slave - willingly or otherwise - to local/family/historical/insane tradition?

I have an amazingly large extended Southern family. My grandmother, who is hosting our reception on her fantastic beach-front lawn, laid down the law that I must invite *everyone*. So we did...and the wedding is getting more huge by the minute.
I hope she has a very large lawn! I so know your pain. Try to think of it that "everyone" is really thrilled for your big day and can't wait to celebrate your happiness. Or that they'll send regrets and a fab Kitchen Aid mixer in their stead :) Good luck and congratulations!!
