we have an arrangement. Bride number 1 will be removed beforehand and switched with bride number 2 (me). Bride number 1 will be shipped off to China.

China?! That's a little harsh
Also, won't the Father of the Bride be a little suspicious when his darling daughter thunders down the aisle, train barely covering the vast expanse of tough, leathery grey skin?

Fuck the lot of you then, I'm going to have my own wedding, and the only people who are invited is me, Cafe Girl (she doesn't know this yet (I got called into work today (hopefully tomorow !))) and Chompy.

If you had it a day later
you could have a 9/11 10yr anniversary themed wedding. Twin tower cakes, an after dinner speech hastily recorded on voice mail and your first dance could be to "I'm leaving on a jet plane".

Important Note:
One of your friends might think it's hilarious to say 'I Object' at the point where they ask if there are any objections.

Make sure they don't - even if they make it clear after the fact that they were joking, the wedding has to be called off and an investigation needs to be done.

At that point, a baby or child always makes a noise and everyone laughs and thinks it's cute
