The wedding we were working on was a ceremony where the participants were in garb, but
no one else had to.  The reception would be the same.  Then comes the switch.  Anyone
who is not role-playing, SCAdian or really interested leaves.  The other SCAdians
arrive and everyone is now garbed.  We hold a Masqued Ball and feast.  Simple setup.
