Part One …
… more to come!
groom surprises bride with a wedding!
This groom is either brilliant or down right freakin’ crazy to try to pull off a Surprise Wedding for his fiancee. Perhaps he’s a gambler as well?
All I know is if he wants a job planning events, he needs to call me … because he did one heck of a job. Right down to moving her entire bedroom so she would have everything she needed.
What say you, brides? Would YOU want to be surprised with a wedding from your fiance?
ps The planner in me is wondering about the marriage certificate?
pss The planner in me is wishing for just a FEW more professional videographers shooting. Or perhaps it was suppose to look like the Blair Witch Project at moments.
psss Groom, you ARE awesome!

Planning a wedding CAN be a daunting task. It’s overwhelming with so many ideas out there. Thanks to the Internet, with wedding blogs and fancy websites you now have MORE concepts that you ever knew to consider.
Too much information? You betcha.
If you have an unlimited amount of money to spend, then you’ll be fine. But that is usually not the reality.
So how do you process all of this?
Sit down together as bride and groom and make a list of the TOP THREE THINGS that are important to each one of you. Then take a look at the list. Hopefully there will be overlapping (both of you choosing the same idea) that will land in your top three.
Then, discuss it with each other. From there you should be able to make ONE list that of must haves at your wedding to make you both happy.
This is where you are going to put your money and let the rest fall into place. By identifying the most important things, you can stop worrying about trying to fit it all in within your budget.
An example (truly an example, as each wedding is different), these may be your top three things:
1. Good Food
2. Great Entertainment
3. Excellent Photography
If these were your top three, then you can stop worrying about pocket invitations or special favors. You may want to take it a step further to create a secondary TOP THREE items to ensure: beautiful decor, videography, open bar, etc.
Everyone is different, there is no right and wrong. You want to be happy at the end of the day. And that’s what’s really important.
