JenStar, I TRULY don't mean this to be ugly at all, just want to ask. Do you really believe a wedding should be all about the bride and her family? Where does that come from? I heard it tons when I was preparing for my wedding. "This is your day."
I never felt that way. I felt like it was completely OUR day. And one of the most important things was that our guests have fun and, above that, that WE enjoy our day, our celebration. The coolest part about our wedding was that it was a GATHERING of families and we could have fun together. Why should the focus be just on the bride, there's a groom there too!
I just don't understand.
I hope you don't see this as criticizing your beliefs. You're getting married soon, right? I can't tell you how much it helped me to have that perspective. If you and your family is the whole focus, then you have such incredible resposibility. I saw myself as more of a participant in a beautiful day. My job was to have fun and look cute. Just a thought.
Thanks again, Margie
