More importantly, we wanted to make sure that the people who surround us that day (whether or not standing physically by our side or sitting down or hoisting us up on their shoulders (haha!)) were people who have been our support network, and who will continue to be our support network in our new life together.
It also felt, to me, like we had to have the whole village standing up behind us, or no one at all -- it didn't seem right to single out anyone individual or some small group.
Who says we have to have groomsmen? Who says we have to have maids of honor? Why do we have to have just two or six or ten?
Therefore, we've decided not to have maids of honor, matrons of honor, groomsmen, bestman, etc. Following the path of having a traditional wedding party doesn't cut it for us -- because we are not a traditional family (on either side!).

We're still planning out the details, and we're hoping to work out something different and non-traditional, and which speaks proudly of what we want to do on this special day -- to give homage to the parental units who've really supported us along the paths of life, and who have given us life in more ways than one.
