What's one thing you have learned so far from planning your wedding?

I would have to say I've learned that FH's mother is seriously a crazy woman and I will never, ever be close to her. And that's fine with me! Anyone else learn anything along the way? (Doesn't have to be negative!!)

I have learned 2 major things

1. Things are a lot more expensive than I ever could have imagined, yet I do not care for some strange reason

2. I love planning and enjoy every aspect of this time more than I ever thought I would

i also have learned that weddings cost WAY to much, but i'm not particularly caring about that part

and that not many people get as excited about wedding planning then the bride

I absolutely agree. I've also learned that not every little thing is worth stressing over.

I learned that being in the wedding business is a great biz to be in.

I have way to expensive taste to be planning this alone. LOL

I learned that there is no need to visit EVERY florist or EVERY photographer or EVERY band...they pretty much all offer the same thing! As long as you get quotes over the phone and chat with LIW girls, it is easy to narrow down your options to two or three, then visit those two or three places. Why make ourselves crazy??

Re: What's one thing you have learned so far from planning your wedding?

That no one else is as excited as me except 2 of my bridesmaids... but luckily I have you girls!!!!

And that you girls are one of the best resources I've found...I can't imagine planning my wedding without your advice and suggestions! Thanks

Re: What's one thing you have learned so far from planning your wedding?

um that nobody cares lol well i just hope they enjoy the day in the end

and there is a HUGE difference btw. dreaming about your wedding for your entire life and actually planning it for two years, the dreaming part is A LOT MORE FUN! lol

Re: What's one thing you have learned so far from planning your wedding?

That I'm extremely impatient
That people will always feel the need to make suggestions even when you don't ask

Re: What's one thing you have learned so far from planning your wedding?

2.i've learned that anything under 30 is too young to get married

2. ive learned that people dont know when to hold their opinions to them self.

3. Someone is always going to have something bigger and better so dont try and compete!!
