wedding plans

Two of our very dear friends are planning their wedding. While I’m a little disappointed in their conservative approach to theme and costume, there has been some discussion of both miniature goats and the bride’s arrival at the wedding venue. This pleases me greatly. My initial thoughts on the topic were traditionally inspired:

I like the baby’s face: how could you not be surprised and delighted by a goat-drawn carriage?!
There are many other examples (flickr doth provide).
But then, what better opportunity for dressing up? Why not something a little more magnificent?

It would be a shame to neglect the groom: why have him stand, waiting for the bride when he, too, can make an entrance?

There’s something charming about the miniature goat drawn carriage, though, that is lost in the grand scale of an elephant or horse.

And this wedding is, after all, to be a small one.
