OK, this is what we have done so far;

The date: February 14. Ken said that last Valentine's day was the best one he had ever had, so we decided that it would be great to celebrate our anniversary on that day. There was no way to find a date that worked for everyone, so we picked what worked for us.

The flower girl: Fiona has a dress, I don't but hey, first things first right? It's a pretty green number that satisfies her idea of an Irish wedding, you know, green? There maybe some other aspects that work with the Irish theme, I just haven't thought of them yet.

The location: A friend of mine, Cheryl, has offered her house for the entire event. It's a 4000 square foot log house that sits at the back of 40 acres. It's beautiful and I'm really touched by her offer.

The cake: Cheryl's housemate Lisa has asked if she could make the cake. She's never made a wedding cake before but figures she has enough time to practice. What the heck, again, I'm touched by the offer.

The rings: Ken used to design and make jewelry so he has an idea to make rings that match the engagement ring. I came up with the idea of making a ring for Fiona too. I've never heard of that but hey, when have I done anything according to the status quo?
