Weddings are a billion dollar business. a favorite author of mine, Erma Bombeck, once wrote "the length of a marriage is inversely proportionate to cost of the wedding" I have been to fairytale weddings: perfect flowers, cake, church and music, all to see the marriages time and time again end in divorce. Very little planning went into my wedding. Ironically, even though I was the bride, I spent very few waking minutes dreaming about my wedding day. my needs were simple: red roses, roast beef dinner, lots of pictures and lots of dancing. I have little advice to give to my children about how to plan a wedding. why? because I had no interest in the wedding. However, I spent a great deal of time planning my marriage! It came as no surprise to my husband that I was not going to be a stay at home mom; I told him that very early on in our relationship. we discussed childrearing, discipline, money spending habits, past times and hobbies, long before we ever thought about our wedding. In fact, we agreed more about the marriage then we did about the wedding. Surprisingly, he was the one who had the grand ideas about the wedding.
Obviously, any event on the scale of a wedding requires planning.Only consider planning your marriage first. you may find out things you never knew and save yourself a lot of conflict and pain in the end.
