Okay, I'll keep the chatter brief, cuz the list is long! While we've received amazing offers (well over 60, I'd estimate), we still have a long list of items that *could* be included in the wedding. If we don't get 'em all? No biggie, we're still walking down the aisle and making our vows and kissin' and then sharing a meal with friends and family. But hey, it's called a wishlist for a reason. ;)
THEME: 'Leather and Feathers'--'cuz Brian is a motorcycle-riding cowboy, and I'm his motorcycle-ridin' angel. Star shapes recurring throughout, for lots of special reasons.
THE FEEL: Rockabilly meets Harley Davidson with a twist of Donna Reid and a splash of skateboard/surf fanaticism, the focus being FUN and ATYPICAL! Examples: cowboy boots, a motorcycle wheel for a cookie display, sugar skulls, nautical stars, sheriff stars, argyle, stripes, cherries, guitars, Kawaii animals, cute folkart deer and owls, etc etc etc...use your imagination!
COLOURS:
Okay, so to see the wedding colours, go to

I've seen people use empty big water jugs for banks. Would you be interested in using something like that?
