Q. My fiance & I are having a very small courthouse wedding (there wont be a ceremony later on) with very close family and friends. I'd prefer not to have a reception, and if so something more personal, such as a night with our immediate families and closest friends at a nice restaurant. Is that appropriate? Recommendations are very welcome!
And as far as attire to the courthouse- is a white (non-wedding) dress fine?
Thank you for your time.

A. You have a great plan!
Know that ANY type of celebration after the wedding IS a reception! A "reception" simply means "a receiving of your guests." A reception can be anything from as lavish as Chelsea Clinton is having to something very small and intimate, as you are wanting.
YES, take your guests out to a nice restaurant. Many restaurants have private rooms that you can use. Talk with the manager. OR, if you like a certain restaurant and they do not have a private room, then possibly you can be seated in a corner somewhere. See about bringing in a wedding cake or if they will make one for you. If it was me, I would want to make sure that there is a vase of flowers in the middle of the table, or a nice candle centerpiece. Again, talk with the manager on these details.
If you do go with a restaurant, know that you and your fiance should pay for all of your guests (unless your parents or his have offered). Here is another nice touch for a restaurant reception. Again, if it was me....I would look over the menu and choose 5 or 6 entree choices, a few sides to go with it....then make up your OWN menu (on cardstock you can buy at a craft store) and list these items. You can make them as informal or as fancy as you want. List the items WITHOUT the prices so it doesn't make your guests feel uncomfortable. Then, simply put one at everyones spot. Here is a picture of some:

Obviously, yours would be different from these ones because you would be listing the selections....but you get the idea.
A white dress (even a short white wedding dress!) is perfectly fine to wear. It is, after all, your wedding!
Good luck and congratulations!

Does John Kerry fit the description that the dems give evil rich people?
Q.
A. Look, John Kerry and his wife can spend their tax-free municipal bond income anywhere they please. But the prospect of a US Senator splurging on a $7 million personal pleasure craft built halfway around the globe while Americans suffer through the worst economic catastrophe since the 1930s is not just unseemly -- it's nauseating. Displays of this kind of elitist condescension and disdain for the everyday people were once upon a time reserved for the likes of the French aristocracy before 1789.
Equally obscene is the reported millions being spent on the Chelsea Clinton wedding. At least the Clintons had the good sense to have Chelsea tie the knot in the US. And caterers, wedding planners, dress makers, florists, chefs, wait staff and dishwashers, landscape workers and porta-potty contractors all along the NY State Hudson River estates will enjoy good fortune at least for a couple of days. Unlike the hopelessly out-of-work boat builders further Downeast who are now resorting to raking blueberries and taking short term stints as deckhands on clean-up barges in the Gulf of Mexico.
It's about the increasing distance and disconnects between the governing class and everybody else. It's about abandoning American workers and deliberately staying out of touch with and out of reach from everyday people. o_O
