Wedding planning

Have been listening to my roommate's ranting on her wedding planning. There are so much to deal with when one (well, the couple) is planning for this great day. It is taxing and difficult.

Firstly, there are great details to think about. From the type of wedding, wedding theme (from it's venue, menu, flowers to the grand little wedding cake), the utmost important wedding gown, matching bridesmaid dresses and the who-to-invite list. There are more but these are probably some of the few things that go into the first-to-do list.

Then, one (the soon-to-be- bride) got to handle the stress of dealing with people. This is probably the most enervating part! That include the soon-to-be-husband and his in laws, even her own parents and last but not least, her close friend! Why do parents and in-laws always want to have say in the wedding planning of their children? My friend has a dream wedding but now has to resort to just having it at a chinese restaurant to please the palate of the elderly. She has to forget her plan for a wedding in a museum where she had lots of good memories with him. Is there fun in planning a wedding anymore when this happens?

I still think yein was really gritty when she was facing problems in her wedding plan. Well, i don't think it's wrong to have few wedding parties - masterminded one at the place of her dream preference and granted two more into the hands of the her parents and in laws. To have 3 wedding dinners was exhausting and time consuming. Most are not willing to deal with this kind of stress and likely not having the advantage of such financial leeway.

Hope that things will be better for my roomie!

What about being the groom-to-be who's planning for a wedding? From my friend's experience, he has to deal with the fact that his bride-to-be, who have agreed to his proposal, might not be at the wedding altar. IMO, this is a bigger headache.

Wedding planning is a difficult task. It is a real test of character, patience and intelligence. It is also a really important time for couple's self-realization and to develop further understanding and tolerance. It will be both happiness and satisfaction worthy of all the effort at the end of the day.
