Following naturally on the engagement announcement and bridal showers
come the wedding plans.
If the bride's house is small, a church wedding may be the solution
for her, or else she may plan a house wedding with just a few chosen
friends and relatives present.
Very often, if a church wedding is planned, there is a reception
afterward at the bride's home. If only a few guests are invited to it,
a wedding breakfast or dinner may be served, but if a large number of
people are asked, buffet refreshments are sufficient.
According to the different seasons of the year, the weddings may take
on varying characters. Spring, summer, fall and winter weddings,
indoor and outdoor weddings, all have their own special charms.
