Wedding magazines, at first glance, are hokey, icky, and mostly not helpful when one is planning a small, intimate, non-traditional family wedding. After looking at some of the weddings featured in there, I can understand why the average American wedding costs a whopping $20,000. Geez.

But, to tell you the truth (and I hate to admit it), I have gotten some pretty nifty ideas from looking in there. Some about what I like, and others about what I absolutely don't want.

Luckily, with the date less than 2 months away, there's little time to obsess about details.
