Ignoring the snarky article comments,
as always, this holds a few bits of useful stuff. Yes, she may be a
bit whiney and overthinking the situation aaand needs to let it go
already but I guess the important thing is that she shows how things
can change and what should actually be important. Even though she
hasn't figured it out.
My wedding will be nothing like her
wedding—partly because I don't care about matching dresses,, and
partly because I'm not like this lady. I don't have a group of
girlies that I MUST include to avoid any hurt feelings. I'm not going
to leave things to other people that I don't trust to finish
something.
If I had someone who didn't feel
comfortable coming to a strip club for a bachelorette party (which
I'm not having) then ok...move along. Have a two-part party with
dinner and shenanigans. But also, if you have friends who aren't
willing to play along for an hour then why have them in your wedding?
It's not much of a sacrifice in either direction for someone to
compromise. Geez.
So, the point of this is that I'm not
going to allow silly shit to make me regret I had a wedding! Even if
things went wrong it surely wouldn't be enough to make me regret the
whole thing. Really?
We will have food and friends and
hopefully some fancy clothes and entertainment. If that's not enough
for anyone else then they are forgiven for not attending but it'll be
enough for us.
Here's another interesting list of
things to consider before the day:
Here's the short version. With my
additions...
1.
Take time to appreciate your surroundings.
Luckily,
I'm getting married at a place I get to go to all the time so at
least I get to soak it up beyond that one day.
2.
Focus on what really matters.
Me, Jason, Cake.
Me, Jason, Cake.
3.
Your wedding day is fun, but marriage is even better.
I guess we'll find out??

4.
Keep the drinks to a minimum.
I won't be drinking so...we'll see what we can do with the rest of the wedding party.

5.
No matter how much planning you do, something is bound to go wrong.
I plan for that as well. I'm good at avoiding problems; hope my luck holds up.

6.
The most important person at your wedding is your future spouse.
Yep!
Yep!
7.
Accept that the person you marry today, may change in 20
years.
Certainly, he'll have more dragons on him then.

8.
It's your day, so feel free to delegate.
Will do. Or rather....someone else will.

9.
Be aware that it goes by way too fast.
Not looking forward to that part but we'll make it last as long as we
can.
