I'm tying all of the loose ends up for our wedding today - mailing last minute checks, sending last minute e-mails, finishing the ceremony program......the list goes on.....
Here is what I wish they told you BEFORE you got engaged, there should be a class in college or something serioulsy....
1. How much to "stipend" your minister, I still have no clue and apparently it varies religion to religion and even presbyterian to luthern to nazarene ect. It also varies by who pays (brides family vs. grooms family) As of right now it's me and Josh. Go figure I can't find info on that one.....
2. You won't have time to do anything yourself on your wedding day and you have to delegate which scares the crap out of me, and probably is a fault of mine - I know how I want things done so it's easier for me to just do it myself rather than explain.... I am a control freak apparently
3. People RSVP for your wedding who were not invited, and how to handle it?
4. You should spend money on a DOC (Day of Events Coordinator) to handle things since you cannot (see # 2)
5. Invitations and ceremony programs and bridal shower ettiquette......seriously what did people do without the internet..... I look things up and have managed to do somethings wrong.....
I keep saying "next time I'll do it this way...." and then I realize that there will not be a next time, unless we renew our vows in which case we are doing it alone and not planning any party :)
12 days and counting until the big day. I am learning to let go, and this is mostly because I have too, there are just certaint things I cannot change any further and the best qoute my old boss used to say "It is what it is.....".
