My Mon always refers to Emily Post -- and I keep telling her we are not having anything close to a traditional, etiquette-filled ceremony/reception. But, still, it's nice to know what the true "proper" way to do things is. We are doing things our way ... but I, too, worry that some of the toasts will be a little over the top. We'll probably do most at the rehearsal dinner.
