Bridesmaid and Pregnant

My best friend asked me to be her bridesmaid over 12 months ago. I just found out I am pregnant with baby #2 and will be roughly 7 months along for the big day. I am nervous about telling her because I don't want her to feel like I've ruined her day. She's had a few things happen recently which haven't been what she's planned for her big day, so I've held off telling her until 'the time is right'. Should I trust she'll be happy with my news or have I put another link in her day?

Should we have a band for background music and 1hr of "dancing"

We're having a cocktail reception that is shorter than most receptions so there's only about 1 hour for "dancing and mingling" We're tossing up if a band is worth the cost if they are background music most of the evening.

Are there any affordable celebrants out there for a simple ceremony?

Hi, I'm looking for a celebrant to perform a simple (yet still professional) wedding ceremony. I don't want all the usual song and dance or long storytelling - just a simple, sweet and short ceremony. And a streamlined process in the lead up with whatever legalities are required; no coaching, or coffee catch ups as I'm just not that kind of bride. Are there any celebrants out there that do this and are affordable? (Needs to be under $500) Thanks for your suggestions :)
