Weddings and the stress that they can cause on a family and maybe some advice to those who still have this to look forward to!  Let somebody else take charge and plan your wedding and don't be too picky!  hahaha My wedding was honestly stress FREE for me.  Not sure about my mother but I do know that she had lots of friends that helped her and I who pitched in and offered their help freely.  I was really lucky and fortunate to have my wedding be as stressless as it was.  I'm also so lucky that my mom pretty much took care of the planning and things that needed to get done.  She would come home with all these great ideas and stuff and ask me what I thought so it wasn't like I didn't get to have it my way.  I wasn't very picky at all though.  If it looked nice and it was cheap I loved it seeing as how my dad gave me a budget to work with for my wedding (even though I didn't really work with the budget my mom did) and then what was ever left over I got to have in cash!  What an incentive to having a cheap wedding right?  Weddings can still be nice and classy and still be cost effecient!  Especially when you have the help and service of so many friends and family.  We had a wonderful temple sealing, the most beautiful reception outside with the nature of my mother's flower beds being pretty much decorations.  We got nice picture frames for center peices and my colors were brown and pink so my mom planted all brown and pink flowers that year to match.  Try to incorporate as much family and friends as you can for your wedding!  Make it stress free so that you can enjoy that wonderful day!  Don't sweat the small stuff and remember what's important!
