Burrito Breakfast
According to Wiki, the Wedding Breakfast is:
A wedding breakfast is a dinner given to the bride, bridegroom, and guests at the wedding reception that follows a wedding in the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, Scandinavia and some English-speaking countries. The Compact Oxford Dictionary[1] lists the phrase as only “British”, and the Merriam-Webster online dictionary[2] does not list it at all. Wedding breakfast custom is occasionally spotted in touristic countries - especially ones that are destination for tourists from English speaking countries. Countries like Poland[3]have prepared offers to cater especially for wedding tourists.
Nowadays the wedding breakfast is not normally a morning meal, so its name can be confusing. The name is claimed[4] to have arisen from the fact that in pre-Reformation times the wedding service was usually a Eucharistic Mass and that the bride and bridegroom would therefore have been fasting before the wedding in order to be eligible to receive the sacrament of Holy Communion. After the wedding ceremony was complete, the priest would bless and distribute some wine, cakes, and sweetmeats, which were then handed round to the company, including the bride and groom. This distribution of food and drink was therefore a literal “break fast” for the bride and groom, though others in attendance would not necessarily take Communion and therefore would not necessarily have been fasting. Since usage of the phrase cannot be shown to date back earlier than the first half of the nineteenth century however, a pre-16th-century origin seems unlikely.
So I would like a burrito wedding breakfast, you could have it family style / buffet style / sit down / 'bar' or van so many options, so many foods, get some margaritas! AWESOME.

It's my Wedding and I'll Pin Board if I like!
Here is my 'pin board' with wedding ideas for when I finally get my big day, if it ever happens...
Small wedding ceremony September / October in Scotland for an autumn feel with just family
http://www.cringletie.com/ or http://www.kilconquharcastleweddings.co.uk/
Sit down buffet meal - like a family meal
Two dresses (cheap), one for the ceremony, one for the reception

Flowers / Decorations: Simple thistle and navy flower posy - lots of candles ad fairy lights for decoration
Bridesmaid / guest can wear what they like - we want a smart casual feel
Groom - to wear a blazer and jeans as shown here in my previous post: http://yourweddingsupport.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/and-groom-wore-jeans.html
Invites - fun wedding invite with a picture of us being silly!
NO photographer (guests need to grab their mobiles) / no car / no gifts / no seating plan - no hassle!
Party with friends 'reception'
Big party back near our home in a local pub for all friends who didn't get invited to the wedding ceremony, put some money behind the bar and put of a spit roast - have a great, fun, relaxed evening that should save our guest money and the un-comfortableness that comes with being a wedding guest most the time!

and the Groom wore JEANS!
Does your H2B not fancy a a suit for his big day, or you are both feeling a little more casual BIG day... how about the groom and his men wear jeans with a nice shirt and blazer/waistcoat combo?
A little more comfortable for him, bring the whole mood to a more 'fun' level, better suited to smaller weddings?
Here are a few ways to make the best of this look... and not just like a cowboy ;-)

Duchray Castle - Highland Wedding Venue
Last week the boyf and I stayed for the week at Duchray Castle a beautiful Scottish Castle with lots of local history, we stayed in the 'Honeymoon Suite' which Rob Roy McGregor once escaped the English from!
Currently the castle has 4 double rooms - sleeping 8, with the hopes to expand and add a few extra rooms.
Duchray Castle is set in the middle of Queen Elizabeth Forest, surrounded by trees, rivers and wildlife. There is no phone connect at the castle and wifi is intermittent creating a peaceful escape from the real world.
They also host weddings at the Castle - you get the Castle for private use from the day before to the morning after the wedding (e.g. Friday afternoon to Sunday morning) for £3500 + VAT, catering / decorations and everything else are on top.
Frances the hostess has experience in Events Management and can assist with all the planning. The Castle's dinning room seats up to 50/60 people and you can get married at the Castle in 3 of the splendid rooms!
