It sounds perfect, and not unlike ours in several ways, including the very very last-minute recruitment of the witnesses. I like attending unconventional weddings, too, and pushing the envelope on the traditional roles. I was a traditional bridesmaid once, a best man once, a groomsman once, and in what I guess you could call the groom's retinue in a wedding in India. They were all charming and unusual weddings in their different ways, and I loved being part of all of them.
