If there’s one thing I learned from trying to plan the perfect wedding, it is that it’s a pretty good test of the relationship.

If he can stand the restaurants tour and the cake testing, and if she can be okay with him going to a strip club for his bachelor’s party, maybe there’s something there.

Other than this, I wholeheartedly agree. If I could go back, I’d make it smaller and more about having fun than about being in the center of attention.

But I guess you grow into this mindset through experience.

If I have to choose just one thing to change, though, it wouldn’t be anything that would save me $900 (though it’s a valid point).

I would just spend the entire day with hubby instead of making him sleep in a different room the previous night and forbidding him from seeing me before the ceremony.

The thing is, the excitement happens mostly around the bride, and he told me later that he felt left out, as if the fact that we’re deciding to be together for the rest of our lives is less significant than everyone seeing me in a white dress.

Which kind’a sucked and I didn’t want him to feel that. It was his wedding day, too.

Thanks for spreading wise advice on the subject, Emily!
