So almost every little girl at some point in time has had the dream of walking down the aisle, or any aisle really, to get married to her dreamy prince. In the past a wedding would likely be a giant affair with your family, your town, and potentially the entire county along for the ride. But lately they're becoming a bit more low key. Or at least that's what my bridal magazines tell me!
There are a few of us here that have just recently gotten engaged and a few who have just recently gotten hitched! This thread is for us. It's going to be intended as a place where we can all get together and panic about planning, discuss the ups and downs and ins and outs and positives and negatives of In-Laws and families. Of best Friends and fighting bridesmaids! Of Groomsmen you adore and best men you might not be able to stand. Of catering and flowers and dresses and hair and makeup and suits and presents.
What I really don't want to happen is for the thread to devolve into an argument/discussion about the value of 'marriage' as an institution, or the big pile o'money that the bridal industry is. Most of us know that!
So ladies and gents and everybody in between and around, let's talk about weddings! I'll be sure to edit in some helpful links for resources and things in here when I find some!
