No Boundaries

I’ve had a crazy life.  One of those lives where you wonder “Where is all this heading?”  Well, in my case it prepped me for wedding planning.  I’ve worked in hotels (Venue finagling), construction (Paperwork/Budget goddess), customer service (I’m good at calming angry people down.  That’s what most customer service is) not to mention the more traditional hair salons, event planning, boutique shops, landscaping & floral, graphic design, marketing and I went to school for interior design.  So, I got all the fun logistical know how for wedding planning sans the WIC brainwashing.  I was and am a subculture floater, always up for expanding my horizons.  You’ll never know when your tattooed court stenographer friend will put you in touch with an underground fashion editorial photographer.

The Cake is a Lie

I have no pre-conceived notions of what a wedding “should” be.  This is an asset of ginormous proportions.  By taking the standard wedding and forgetting it all together, you have something that reflects YOU, something that YOU are happy with.  You don’t need cake, you can have donuts, or pie, or rice krispie treats, or whoopie pies, or cookies, or Ho Hos, or milkshakes or forget the food altogether.  The only things you need are two people who want to make a commitment to each other, someone official like to say the words to make it legal (if you want the legality of it) and that is IT.  The other stuff is fluff.  But fluff is fun, fluff is an opportunity to express ourselves.  The sooner you embrace that, the sooner you’ll actually find yourself enjoying *gasp* the wedding planning process.
