We have had an idea of an alternative to speeches and want a bit of advice.
Our venue has a projector and as soon as we both saw it we knew we had to use it, lol.
The main reason for this is neither of us want to stand up and make a speech, we are not confident people at all and only wanted a small registry wedding just the two of us, but like most weddings it's spiraled out of control, so this is what we have come up with to save ourselves from feeling physically ill on the day, I know some people will say you will feel different on the day, but trust me we wont, if we could scrap the whole day and elope we would!
We were going to have our best man say his speech at the beginning of the meal ( I did not want speeches at all, but he insisted) then he would start our slide show.
We were going to have a pictures of people that have helped us, with big thank yous at the bottom, then thank yous from us, then a few pics of us with funny captions etc, or like first date, first holiday etc which will probably just be on a loop the whole night so people at reception will see it too.
Can anyone think of any other ideas? Or tips, I know it's a random thing to do but our wedding is very unusual and quirky anyway so this is an extension of us, and I think people are expecting us to do something different.
Also what music would you suggest if any to be played in the background?
Has anyone done anything similar? I've started making it using power point but is there another application I can use on a mac?
Thanks.
Please no haters, if you don't like the idea then that's fair enough, but don't feel the need to tell me, I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it is ours!
