Wedding Planning — When Reality Sets In, Dreams Must Become Plans
By: Debbie Spurlock
I don’t know about you, but I planned my wedding off-and-on for about
four years before my boyfriend even asked me to marry him. Some women I
know planned their weddings off-and-on from the time they were eight
years old. For we Pre-planners, the execution of the actual event can
come as somewhat of a shock.
You’re no longer allowed to say, “Let’s get married on a pier beside the
ocean” one week and then, “We should get married in an ancient stone
cathedral in Scotland” the next week. You have to decide, once and for
all, and then you have to make it happen (and then, darn it, you have to
find a way to pay for it). Be warned, this is not as much fun as the
fantasy was.
On the other hand, there are some women who never spent six minutes of
their lives planning their wedding before someone asked them to get
married. In fact, sometimes these women haven’t thought about planning
their wedding until long AFTER someone asked them to get married.
Eventually these women notice that nothing seems to be moving forward on
that wedding front.
“Hmm,” one of these gals says to herself. “You don’t suppose I’M
supposed to do something about this?!”
Sorry to be the one to break the news, but yes.
Regardless of which type of woman you are, successfully planning a
wedding without losing your mind requires vision, organization,
creativity, and knowledge of how to play nicely (but firmly. Repeat
after me, “FIRMLY”) with others.
Never fear! Taken with the right attitude, planning a wedding can be a
blast, and it should be. This event is one of the defining moments of
your life. Define it. Rule it rather than letting it rule you. Why
would you do it if it weren’t going to be fun?
