The Wedding You Don’t Dream Of…

Published by mustang8806 at 11:16 am under Uncategorized Edit This

Every girl eventually dreams of getting married (even some boys do..) but when you finally settle down and make that decision, where do you start? How much will you spend? What day? The time? And all of the countless bills you have to pay. You buy a dress, you rent tuxes, you buy undergarments, garters, jewelery, shoes, roses, cakes, ribbons, decorations, more flowers, and thousands of other things that are only normally used - here it comes - once!! It’s a stress, it makes the bride freak out, and ever so often the groom, but the bride seems to feel like all the pressure is put on her, she is asked hundreds upon hundreds of questions. She has to pick out invitations and then wordings. She has to do the thank you cards. She has to choose her dress. She has to pick the flowers. She has to pick the colors. It’s just wrong! So what can you do it about it right?
Well you can always hire a wedding director, of course this is very pricey, or you can get friends and family members who have been married to help you after all they’ve been through it. Lastly you can always find a place that does almost all of it for you at a even more reasonable price, of course they don’t actually do all of it for you, so don’t get your hopes up, but some places do provide the room for a wedding, for the banquet, they do the decorations and they cater for much cheaper prices then if you were to have to rent and pay for all of this alone, you can always go for more and work the price up if you want more then they have to offer, they’ll do what you wish. Just don’t forget tax does get pinned on this price, everyone is a tax theif after all..
So whichever it is you decide to do though, keep it to how you want your wedding though, many of us girls give in on way to much, I say go for the wedding you want, of course with in reason! Don’t let anyone make you change your mind unless you whole heartedly agree. It’s you and your soon to be husbands big day, no one else has any say over you. Just don’t put things off last minute though, that puts you in a whole new bind! So lets give the wedding couple a list of things they will need (and of course you can be sure there may always be more then this list!)

(Remember you do not have to pay for groomsmen/bridesmaids attire, or hair or anything, you can have them do that, just some traditional weddings the brides parents pay for almost everything, but I say don’t go traditional, make it your own wedding!)

You get the just of course, because there is countless more things you may add or eliminate from the list as you see fit. Never stress yourself beyond what you need, just take a breath, go sit down and relax, it is suppose to be a good day. Don’t fight over it. Fighting makes it even harder to pull yourself through until the big day.
