Important or Dated?

Q. My family are fairly traditional but I want the wedding to be more "funky". Will I offend them if I do it my way?

A. This depends on the wedding as a whole. If you are arriving in a White Rolls Royce and want your bridesmaids in matching peach dresses, then maybe it is vital that the bestman sits next to the groom during the reception. If you are having flame throwers and a water slide for entertainment I do not think any one will notice if you have the speeches before the cake is cut!
