I ...First of all, I haven't congratulated you yet! I am so proud and happy for you!! And, you'll live in your cute little house and be happy forever after. Now, about the wedding advice-givers. As a person who has been involved with weddings for a very long time (as florist, and coordinator) remember it's YOUR wedding. Let it be a reflection of yours and fiance's personalities. Weddings have tended to be so over-the-top these days and there is such no need for that. You two plan your wedding the way it will make you happiest, and it will just roll right out there for you.

An...OK, I promise I will not give any more advice. And, I certainly won't say SHOULD!<BR/><BR/>Except right now, because you asked....<BR/><BR/>Listen attentively, smile, and say 'that's a good point, thank you! We'll think about it.' Then promptly ignore whatever it was they just said. It is YOUR wedding, after all. Do whatever you want.<BR/><BR/>But, you SHOULD just ignore people. ;)<BR/><BR/>And, for what it's worth, you will hear 'should' the rest of your life. You'll get really good at ignoring it, trust me.Katie Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03217665878549970594noreply@blogger.com
