I caught up with my neighbour yesterday who is due to marry her partner of 15 years (2 kids) in January. She seemed stressed out and wired.
I asked her why she was so stressed? The wedding! she said.... "the dress" and "everything else".
I just wish brides wouldn't get so stressed, but how to tell them? Nobody cares about their dress. Nobody cares about the party favours on the table. Just provide somewhere to sit, good food and booze and nobody will care. It bugs me soooo much that couples spend so much on their weddings when nobody really cares about the small things. People just want to see you happy!. Chill out and enoy! Save the money for a deposit on your house. THAT is what marriage is about. Not a big wedding. How can anybody really stress about a dress?!! It's so fleeting.... and insubstantial. Think of the future.
