As a wedding planner, I have a lot of pet peeves. Especially when I see that so many of these little things could be avoided with a just a little extra planning before the big event.
A photographer is late. All of the special intimate pictures are gone. The service has started and the photographer just catches the bride walking up the aisle. What about when she got ready? Who shot pictures of the groom as he greeted his mom and dad? This happened at a recent wedding. I was so angry at the photographer that I couldn't even trust myself to speak to him. He was supposed to arrive at 12:30. He didn't get there until the bride was walking up the aisle at 2:05. Now that doesn't seem very professional to me. This is not a dress rehearsal! This is the real deal! It isn't going to happen again, we don't recreate the special moments---they are gone; forever!
Guests who are disrespectful to the wedding couple by dressing down; so down that they must have mistaken the ballroom reception for a beachside hoe-down!
At a recent wedding, along comes a woman in wrinkled khakis, dirty (yes--dirty!) t-shirt and mis-matched shirt over that. Her hair was a mess. I was surprised since this was a very formal wedding held in a beautiful downtown hotel ballroom. The bride and groom were impeccably dressed. The mothers and fathers looked great, the bridesmaids and groomsmen were fancy, and most of the guests arrived suitably attired. So why did this particular guest's invitation say come as shabby as possible?
More pet peeves tomorrow.....
