We went to the hairdresser last night to get our hair coloured. As part of the discussion with the stylist or whatever you want to call her, her upcoming wedding was discussed. It was discovered yet again that everybody other than the bride and groom were trying to get their way with pretty much all the details. For a day that is about two people coming together a lot of other related people always want it to be more about them.
There is the talk about the dress, the location, the date, the people being invited and a million other little details. I know there is a lot to organise depending on how large a wedding you are going to have but the final decision is nobodies but the two main people involved.
It brought back memories of my wife and I's wedding. Once we announced we were getting married my mother in law took over and very few choices were left to us. It was kind of frustrating but since we weren't paying for any of it we couldn't say too much. In the end we did get the main thing we wanted, being married to each other, but the build up to it was a lot of hassle and stress.
So to anyone getting married, try your hardest to have it your way. It is something that, once you have the right person, only ever happens once in your life. Get it right and it will be one of the most important days in your entire life. Life is nothing more than being happy with those you love and celebrating the coming together of you and your loved one is something that is yours and yours alone.
don't forget your parents whining about the cost of the car and refusing to pay for champagne as it was too expensive. it wasn't just my mother that got her own way.
