THANKSGIVING NUPS

Like the Macy's parade comes every 4th Thursday in November, it's become a tradition here--my posting about the Thanksgiving wedding and the many details that go with it.  I love the idea of getting married on Thanksgiving Day. The days before, as well as the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday after, are times when family are all gathered.  And that's the bonus of a Turkey Day Wedding--the guests and menu are already assembled.  If you want cozy nups with just family go ahead and opt for Thanksgiving Day.  Extend that invite beyond family, and your wedding might conflict with most of your invited guests' family dinners.  Overall, a turkey dinner with all the fixings for the bride and groom, and family gathered, is a great way to combine your vows with that great family institution.
