First Let's Talk Wedding SHOWS......

Oh yes, there are many and oh how I love them! Bridezilla’s is just straight terrifying however. I don’t know that people that are that mean deserve to get married….oops, did I say that? Oh yeah I did, so stop being beastly brides!

One of my new favorites- Bulging Brides, yeah you heard me right. It’s a show where brides aren’t able to fit into the wedding dresses they’ve bought so they go through “bootcamp.” There are some serious tears and serious hormones. Good Stuff.

More favorites:

For the lady:

Location, Location, Location

That’s sort of a big deal right? You may choose to go the more traditional route and in that case, I’m not a big help in the church department. That’s all on you. But finding the perfect venue is key, it sets the whole tone to the wedding. Helps you set your theme, figure out what needs to be in check, what spaces need to be filled, lighting, colors, etc. Basically…this part of the guide should have been in Part one?

The locations could go on and on, here are a few.

FOOD

This is one of the MOST important factors….wait, I think I said that about the wedding dress and the cake, oh- ok this whole “wedding thing” is pretty huge in general.

NOW BACK TO FOOD-
You’ll want to make sure that you have vegetarian dishes for people that aren’t into big slabs of steak, or who don’t like fish. People expect to be fed, unless it’s a cocktail/appetizers sort of thing, which is also allowed.

GET YOUR BOOTIES ON THE DANCE FLOOR!

Everyone like to bust a rug at a wedding. I’ve never danced harder, longer or with more GLEE than I have at a wedding. Keep in mind…..if you have a bad wedding singer people will be talking about it for EVER, and they’ll most likely peace out early.

Deciding between a band or a DJ is a tough choice, with that being said…..DJ’s can always break out The Macarena, Soulja Boy, The Electric Slide and “We are family.” If you’re thinking of nixing the DJ, you may want to think again. Synchronized dancing is always a BIG SHOW STOPPER.

THE TUX

Oh yeah, I forgot for a moment that there was a GROOM involved in all of this and that he needs some clothing too. My groom is going to have rock solid, delicious, abs so I wouldn’t mind if he went shirtless, however most people aren’t as unconventional as I. So if you must dress your man, you must- I suppose.

And after you're married, remember-

“I think a man and a woman should choose each other for life, for the simple
reason that a long life with all its accidents is barely enough time for a man
and a woman to understand each other and… To understand – is to love.
“

William Butler Yeats
