The first time that a young man realizes that young a woman has been planning their wedding since her tiny hands have had the dexterity to leaf through magazines is a scary experience. The scariest part of this scenario is that men are usually engaged when they find out about this fact of life.
This wedding planning is fantasy. If you could magically make every wedding into the fairy tale princess affair that swirled around in a tweenager's brain, something very bad would happen to the space time continuum.
Even the simplest ceremonies have to observe a certain amount of Wedding Etiquette. I have had one church wedding and one beach wedding so I can tell you my preference. I will do my very best not to infuse my decisions with my marriage experience. We are talking about Weddings NOT Marriage.
BEACH WEDDINGS FTW!!!
HitWeddings.com has some great tips on avoiding catastrophe with outdoor wedding plans. Our plan B, for if the weather had been awful, was to cram into our rented beach cottage. Thank goodness the weather was nice.
When you have an outdoor wedding in a beautiful outdoor setting you don't need decorations.
Some wedding photographers just plain know what they are doing. Other photographers might be artsy fartsy tyoes that need to be kept on task by someone who is given the task of ensuring that all the necessary shots are taken. HitWeddings.com has a lengthy list. I was very happy with our photographer. Part of our quickly drawn up plans included the decision to have only immediate family. That was a hard decision to make in some ways. It's funny that when you are having a big wedding and inviting almost everybody the final decisions are just as hard. Not as fraught, but pretty tricky just the same. And of course, you will forget someone. And they will be deeply offended.
