Saying I do

Most of what I do and write are designed to help wedding couples have the very best and most memorable wedding possible. But it isn't just me that puts a successful wedding together. It takes a "village."

It takes a collective effort on the part of vendors, venue coordinators, staff, family and friends, my "two-cents worth"; not to mention the couple's input to make a wedding the success that it should be. When one or more of the players drops the ball, the rest of us have to take up the slack. Mostly it is the planner that will do this because we want moms to enjoy their children's day.

A wedding is more than picking out a dress and tuxedo and deciding what favors you want to buy. A wedding is a grand affair (they are supposed to be) that requires a lot of thought process, time and energy. Most couples in today's world just don't have to the time to devote to their event like they would like to, so a lot of the planning falls on friends and family members. If their ideas and the couple's ideas do not mesh, someone is going to be a contestant on "Bridezilla!"

Couples, do yourself a favor; hire a planner. It is money will spent, heartache saved, and helps to ensure a great wedding turnout. We are trained to handle the stress, worries, and family squabbles. (You didn't know that we have degrees in psychology?)
