There are so many decisions one has to make when one is getting married. It is ridiculous. I can see how it might be too much for someone who has great difficulty making decisions. I just give myself fewer decisions. Like cake places… I’ll just pick one or two places and order the cake from the best one… the problem is deciding which one is best.
I gave myself one week to pick out a dress; only one week to redeem every girl’s fantasy of wearing a gown that turns you into a princess. I succeeded in picking the dress by the deadline.
I just keep plugging away. I still need a florist. At least I finally have an idea of what I want as far as the flowers go.
I can see why someone might be ok with those TV and radio contests where the viewers/listeners choose the dress, the honeymoon location, even the rings! Then they don’t have to deal with making the decision… and hopefully they are happy with the outcome. Hopefully I’ll be happy with the outcome. So the invitation wording isn’t exactly perfect, but at least they’re ordered and there are no typos. So my dress doesn’t look as good as the one that cost twice as much, I’ll still look beautiful. So I found a veil that I like a little better, my veil is fine and it was only 20 bucks.
It doesn’t really matter. I’m shy of perfect. Still, my wedding day will be fantastic because of our love for each other and being able to share it with those who love us.
And, in the end, no one will know about the dress that cost twice as much, or know about the “other” cake place. THey’ll never see alternate wording on the invitation, and, except for you and some family members, no one is that likely to look at them after the event anyway.
The key is: pick the cake YOU like best, pick the veil YOU like best, pick what makes YOU happy.
You will be beautiful on your wedding day (as you always are, of course, but you will be DAZZLING on that day, I know). Your wedding will be beautiful.
And, in the end, it’s only one day. It’s the years that follow that are most important.

I’m gonna have to go with Tanya on this one…the marriage is more important than the wedding. When you feel like you’re getting overwelmed just decide to go out to dinner with your fiance, don’t take any wedding things with you, sit enjoy each other’s company and then the next take take your issues one at a time. Don’t worry it will be great I’m sure you’re making all the “right” decisions, afterall whichever decision you make will be the right one.
