My advice to you: stop planning the perfect wedding. Just plan a wedding.
The perfect day for us will be clumsy and funny and have star wars music... and will be fun... which is why i dont care about what everything looks like... ill probably trip down the aisle...

My prom date for junior prom had a tux with tails, a hat, and a cane. My dress was $40.

A successful marriage has very little to do with the "perfect" wedding. I definitely didn't consult Lemming enough as I should have in the planning stages so there were a few things he would have liked that we didn't get done. We didn't spend a ton of money either. I had a gorgeous dress that I still love to this day that my mother made for me. We didn't spend a bunch of money on our rings either. We paid cash and didn't go into debt so overall I think we did good.

Am I remembering correctly that you're Mormon? /If so did you have a temple wedding? /If so did you have a ring ceremony as well?

As one of the people who profit from big, expensive weddings.... No, they're really not worth it!

I just hope I'm around to see the day the New Republic catches up with you.
Whether they give you a medal or just shoot you--either way, it'll be a terrific show.

When I got married, it was a small affair and we did most things ourselves. Never regretted not going into debt for that one day.

I actually have to go all the way to Wisconsin (three states away) to go to a wedding this summer.

Hi Carmen
We did not get married in the temple. Lemming and I had a regular church wedding at the church I grew up in. My oldest sister got married in the temple and had a ring ceremony at the reception because many of his family were unable to attend the wedding.

The idea that YOU MUST HAVE A "PERFECT" WEDDING (whatever that means) OR YOUR MARRIAGE IS DOOOOOOOOOMED!!!!! is just a bit of clever marketing by what a wedding planning book I own refers to as "the marital-industrial complex."
You know what a perfect wedding really consists of? The bride and groom show up and say "I do." Everything else is extra fluff.
 
Don't forget to have fun

Since I'm not actually getting married for about two more years, I haven't seriously started planning my wedding yet. But I don't want some overblown, fancy, "perfect" wedding. The important thing is having the people we care about together to see us finally get married, and that we have a memorable event to celebrate our marriage. Memorable doesn't need to mean spending a ton of money, and I honestly don't see why women become "Bridezillas." Yeah I want a pretty dress and pretty flowers, but it's unrealistic to expect everything to go according to plan. The unpredictability of everything is part of what makes the day memorable. So yeah, when I'm planning mine, I definitely won't be one to be spending tons of money and putting us into debt before our actual married life begins.
