Worst wedding advice
There are so many decisions to make once you become engaged that it quickly becomes overwhelming. After finding the perfect man, you have to find the perfect wedding dress, the perfect hair stylist, the perfect photographer, the perfect florist, the perfect caterer. Everything must be perfect for your special day. On top of all the decisions that must be made, you get advice from everyone you know or see, married or single, about how to have the perfect wedding. People want to know if you will wear white or ivory, strapless or sleeveless, hair up or down, chicken or steak, roses or calla lilies. Over time you work things out: you choose your dress, photographer, caterer, florist, maid of honor, music. The only problem is that eventually you get so overwhelmed with all of the decisions that must be made that you start looking for ways to minimize the work you need to do on the wedding. Fortunately you have bridesmaids and family members who can take on some of the responsibilities, and that truly is a wonderful thing. But don’t, absolutely do not, rely on the vendors you hired to remember the wedding date or what their specific duties are. Make sure to call every vendor in the week to few days before the wedding to iron out all the details and make sure everybody is on the same page.
I learned this the hard way.
I had a wonderful support network during my engagement. My wonderful maid of honor was there for me whenever I needed her. She gave me advice, gave me emotional support, and helped me make important decisions. She was a rock. My future mother-in-law helped find tuxedos for the men involved and gave me all the help I asked for. My mother picked out the reception location and helped me find some of the other vendors we needed. She and I chose a florist who blew us away with his lovely portfolio and the recommendations he had available to show us. We felt that he was perfect to bring to life the vision I had for my perfect wedding. We hired him on the spot.
After a couple of meetings with the florist he told me he had everything under control. “Don’t worry about a thing,” he told me. “I will take care of you. Your wedding will be beautiful.” I asked him if I should call him a few days before the wedding to confirm everything, the way I was going to do for all the other people I had hired, and he said not to worry about it. So I didn’t worry about it.
The happy day arrived. I spent the morning with my parents
