Random problem for Tumblr: How does one plan a wedding? What goes into planning a wedding? How is it similar to or different from planning anything else? Are there actually people who are good at this shit?
(Feel free to answer only one or a few of these questions. I just really really want some answers from someone, even if you don’t have any good ones. Pls no bystander effect s’il vous
plaît, gracias.)
((Yes, I’m aware that I’ve already said I’m married. That was the civil ceremony; actual getting-married-ceremonially-with-guests-in-attendance is still upcoming.))
So everyone seems to basically be like “get a wedding planner”
I am a poor
If anyone would like to plan a wedding in exchange for my undying gratitude and affection, that would be super great
Otherwise, we are probably going to have as much “““planning””” as I can fake up, which is why I’m trying to figure out what I’ll need to do.
(But really please take this off my hands I will love you forever)
Re: OP, for what it’s worth, some stories I tend to hear from people talking about their weddings (or other people’s weddings):
“Our photographer didn’t show up, or showed up but didn’t focus on the areas we told him to focus on.”
“Our DJ didn’t bring the music we requested, causing a last-minute scramble in which my fiance had to run home and get tapes* out of our own music collection.”
“My mother-in-law took a party-favour bouquet without asking first. I was going to give that bouquet to my aunt-in-law!”
“Only half of the people who said they were going to show up actually did, leaving us with an unnervingly empty venue.”
[while watching a reality show:] “It is not possible for a wedding dress to be worth that much money unless it is made out of precious materials and you plan to sell it for scrap. That lady is so going to regret not buying her wedding dress from the thrift store for $40.”
And a positive one:
“It’s great that the groom’s sister in Arizona was able to listen to the ceremony [in Massachusetts] live on speakerphone. Isn’t modern** technology amazing?”

As for the second part, maybe you can barter your services?

*This was in 1991.
**This was in 2008, so it was not actually that modern, but still.
