     wedding march? bouquet/garter toss?  

my fiance and i will be married in a small ceremony in the fall. the guest list will be around 75 people. we're going for a comfortable yet formal wedding, if that makes any sense. the details of the wedding are cozy and country (with wicker baskets and burlap tablerunners for example) but hopefully the overall feel will be formal. we're both having one attendant...a maid of honor and a best man. my question is...do we have a grand march at the reception to introduce the wedding party? it seems kind of silly with just one attendant for each of us. also, will our guests be terribly disappointed if there is no bouquet toss or garter throw? both my fiance and i think we could do without this part of the reception but is it something people come to expect at a wedding? any thoughts would be great.

thanks!

Dear Small and Yet Formal,

There is no reason to include all of these elements. The 'tosses' are being eliminated in a number of weddings these days. It just doesn't seem relevant to some.

Best wishes,
