Hi guys! I've been reading posts on other boards and the responses. When did weddings become what they are today? A wedding used to be such a special time for a man and a woman. Now, everyone has to have the perfect colors, the perfect food, the perfect etc, etc. And everything has to be sooo proper. I just don't understand why there is so much pressure on a bride to have the perfect wedding. Many even go as far as to spend their life savings. As long as my groom is there for my wedding day, I could care less about everything else. It's about the bride and the groom. It's a sacred time. I reckon maybe it's because I'm from a small town, but I'm sure glad I'm not one of them brides. 20 years from now, those flowers will have died and those decorations will be trashed. I believe what I'll remember most, is the memories you shared with your family and friends; the laughter, the tears, the embarrasing moments.
