After years of working on weddings, there is one character that I have come to pity: the mother of the groom Most of the attention at weddings, aside from that given to the couple, is placed on the mother and father of the bride

A wedding can be an ultimate exercise in overindulgence We spare no expense, or assault on the environment, to ensure that our wedding day is perfect

I cannot begin to count the number of brides who spend the final weeks of their planning process fighting with their attendants Unlike your family, you CAN choose your bridal party

As a professional wedding planner, I’m often tasked with calming stressed brides and helping them work through wedding dilemmas By far, the issue that causes the most stress is money

In many ways, planning your wedding can be considered your marriage preparation boot camp The skills necessary to plan the ‘perfect’ wedding are also required to maintain a ‘perfect’ marriage
