Unusual Wedding Ideas

What do you think of this unusual wedding idea?
My fiance and I have a small issue: I am very devoted to my grandparents who passed away years ago. We are getting married this year, and to honor them, we are getting married on their anniversary (I cant imagine getting married any other day). Their anniversary is on a Thursday this year, and my aunt mentioned having the ceremony Thursday night, and then having a reception Saturday so more people can come. She claims that if someone feels it is very important, they would love to go to the wedding that night, no matter what. Also, most of my family is older and retired, no small children. Although it is unusual, I feel that the date is of such great importance (as it is to my fiance), it would be so much more special ON that day. We are having the reception on the saturday, hoping more can come, but we do understand a few people wouldnt be able to make it to thursday as well. What do you think? Our venue claims it is perfectly ok, and family has seemed okay with it.... no extra costs will ensue, either....same price either day, it's at the same place...and my aunt will be doing my hair & makeup both days....our photographer is a professional in the family....so the cost will remain the same.... Also, I cant choose a good answer, they were all wonderful answers, so I will leave it to vote...thank you all for the amazing response!

Do you have any cool or unusual wedding ideas, or how would you want it?
It seems like so many wedding rituals are so cheesy I couldn't picture myself doing them. Like the gigantic wedding dress that looks like a rolled up kleenex. No thank you. I can see some people wanting tradition but that's not me. I like unusual things and I guess I am unusual so I want my wedding to be. I just don't know what I want...So if you have any good ideas or something that worked for you let me know. I'm always open to new things and free thinkers...

unusual wedding ideas?
Me and my fiancee have just got engaged. My family is C of E and his is Hindu, but neither of us are religious. We will have a civil ceremony and love the idea of getting married outside. We live in derby, does anyone know of many venues that do this? Also, i want a fairly classic, relaxed feel to the day, but do have you any unusual ideas for the wedding, ie quirky favours/decor/colours/entertainment etc Thanks!
