When we were planning our wedding, I suggested to my wife that we should rent a local field, the officiant and wedding party party could all wear stripes, and the guests could throw flags instead of rice/birdseed.
There are a few schools admin in my association (I could've gotten the field cheap, or maybe free), I already have or could borrow the uniforms and flags. It would've been much cheaper, and certainly memorable.
I was quickly told that my assistance in planning the wedding was no longer required, and that I should just go and pick the beer for the reception.
Mission Accomplished.
