<p>Since becoming recently engaged I have spent more time than I care to admit plopped in front of the TV, watching wedding shows and dreaming of what it would be like to win the lottery and host a lavish, care free wedding. I have seen countless brides and grooms on these TV shows with more money to spend on their big day than I have seen in my lifetime. Watching their wedding planning process is very eye opening and has helped me in coming up with ideas for my own wedding. I have seen it all on these shows; from brides wanting to ride in on elephants wearing $10,000 gowns, to grooms wanting to make their grand entrance in a helicopter.</p>
<p>These TV programs prove that a wedding can be one of the most frustrating events to plan in a person's life, and to have disasters such as reception tents collapsing due to rain, unwanted guests, or cakes break into pieces can leave a depressing memory forever etched in the bride and groom's mind. One cannot necessarily avoid a wedding disaster because no one can predict the future, but one can do many things in order to ensure a peaceful and fun wedding for all.</p>
<p>The first item the bride and groom must agree on is what money to spend on the wedding. This is the one cause of many arguments I have noticed. Sometimes the bride has lavish, expensive ideas that she feels she has to have at a wedding, sometimes the groom has ideas for expensive vehicles to ride in on the big day. The couple must choose what is important to them, because the biggest disaster of all may not be what happens during the wedding, but the bills that come in afterwards.</p>
<p>The next thing to focus on would be the date and the location. Destination weddings have been becoming very popular. To avoid having to deal with bad weather, pick a location inside if the couple has chosen an outside wedding. This way the staff, if there is a helping staff, can plan on both, to avoid rain or snow.</p>
<p>If the ceremony is religious, be respectful of each other's wishes and pick pieces of the religions that are most important to participate in. Make a list of things and work with the list. The only thing that matters is what the bride and groom would find meaningful.</p>
<p>A helpful suggestion would be to hire a wedding planner. A recent wedding I was in was beautiful, but the bride chose her mother and my mother as wedding planners. No one could really sit down and enjoy the big day because there was always something to be done. If one can afford to hire a wedding planner, or if there is a friend that would volunteer to plan the event for the bride and groom, this may be most effective in avoiding wedding disasters. Not to mention, everyone involved in the wedding can sit back and just enjoy the big day.</p>
<p>Find the best caterers, DJ's, band and photographers that fit in the budget. Schedule everyone to be there at least an hour ahead of time to ensure things run smoothly. This will help iron out any kinks in the big day.</p>
<p>If the bride has issues with weight and is uncomfortable with her weight, then it is helpful to start an exercise routine several months in advance, and not a few weeks before. If the bride and groom exercise together this relieves stress and builds a bond. It is a great way to start a healthy life together.</p>
<p>These are just a few tips that I have kept in mind in the planning of my own future wedding. They come from many afternoons of sitting in front of the TV watching those shows, and in helping my cousin plan her wedding. I can only hope that these ideas may help prevent disasters at someone's wedding. And maybe, just maybe, I will get to ride into my wedding on that elephant after all.
