Plus, the bbq reception site has no electricity, so we have to be completely self-supported. We're not nervous about the wedding itself, or the big life commitment, but rather the logistics of making the bbq reception work!! 70+ guests; gobs of ice chests to keep uncooked food/meat and drinks and ice cool; serving bowls; aluminum pans to keep side dishes warm; etc .... Fiance's home for ~10 days so we've been running all around town to get all that we can get (non-perishables). The week of the wedding we'll both take off from work and get all the last minute items and perishable food.

All I can say is .... WE CAN'T WAIT FOR OCTOBER 5TH ... when its ALL OVER!!
Good luck with all your last minute preparations! It is more work to go the inexpensive route, but it makes it special, too. DH and I chose a restaurant that was full service, but did all the decorations ourselves--including flowers. We even made chocolate candies with the candy molds that were a bride and groom and a chocolate plaques that said "Thank you for sharing our day." It will come and go before you know it! I hope you have a very special day!
