I love this idea of "in-between moments." One of my biggest fears about our wedding is that some guests will feel like we didn't really care that they were there -- or even excluded -- and this sounds like a great way to incorporate time with everyone without squeezing it into a 5-hour reception.

Reading about your wedding really encouraged me to plan downtime for myself during my wedding weekend (since I am also TYPE A, I had the whole darn weekend scheduled). One of my favorite times was a long walk I scheduled with my dad and stepmom, an breakfast afterwards. I knew that my mom and sisters would be more assertive and demand my time all weekend, but my dad and stepmom might fade into the background if I weren't thoughtful about spending time with them. Here's to being mindful!

Is it wrong to 'hope' this happens because it doesn't seem possible that anyone will be willing to actually commit to a brunch or wouldn't appreciate having any extra demands on their time?
