Jobs
As were are having a somewhat “untraditional” wedding, we are trying to DIY a lot of the elements ourselves, in an effort to both cut costs and reduce the environmental impact of our wedding. As the big day gets closer, we’ll find ourselves incredibly busy doing important things like tying bows on stuff and painting our nails (ok, so that’s just Jon…), as well as much schmoosing and hugging during the reception. As we have such an amazing group of friends and family, we were hoping that we might be able to use your talents and strength to help run some of the various elements of our wedding.
So if you love making paper flowers, have a skill for icing cakes or a predilection for chopping wood (or are a responsible, grown-up but fun person), we would be extremely grateful if you would offer yourself for one of the following roles for our big day!
List of jobs:
- Fire Chief (Saturday and Sunday) - Responsible for lighting the candles at dusk and looking after the main fire.
