Our philosophy...

So, while we think it's important to have some traditions, so our union is recognized as such by our friends and family, the nice thing about planning a non-traditional wedding is just that, it's not traditional. Which means we can do whatever the hell we please. We could have dancing elephants in pink tutus (though Bride2 would object on cruelty to animal grounds). We can have white dresses, or black dresses, our attendants can be male, female, somewhere in between. Our bridesmen can wear dresses and our maids wear tuxes, or everyone can just wear their underwear. The glorious thing about this whole thing is it can accurately reflect US and our relationship and not some stuffy traditions handed down to us that have nothing to do with how we feel, what we believe, or how we see our relationship.
