Wedding Season has Arrived!
Posted by Spaycial on June 30, 2009
It’s wedding season, and so many people that I know are getting married this summer. The woman who nannies the kids I babysit for on the weekends got married just last weekend; my sister and my best friend are both getting married this summer too. The result is tons of Michigan weddings to go to, tons of wedding and shower presents to buy, not to mention all of the responsibilities of being a bridesmaid in one of these weddings.
I can’t help but feel a little sorry for all these brides. I remember how difficult it was to plan our wedding two years ago, when my husband and I got married. And we had a small wedding! My sister is having something like 130 or 140 guests, and I think my best friend is having around a hundred.
How on earth do you plan for that size wedding all by yourself? Planning our 30-person wedding was difficult enough. You have to find a wedding venue (such as these Northern Michigan gardens) that allow for your size group, have to plan catering for all those people and worry about food likes, dislikes, and allergies, have to make that many more invitations, etc. Yikes!
Good thing weddings only (usually) happen once, isn’t it?
