The amount of money that some people spend on weddings seems rediculous to me, and I could never spend that much. I want to really enjoy my time with my friends and family and have it reflect who we are and our values and priorities. I love the ideas of playing games and finding other creative ways to really interact with the guests other than just dancing. I've been reading various blogs, including this one, for a few months, and have to say it's nice to feel like there are lots of other people in the same boat I am in and to not feel like the WIC will dictate how my wedding day unfolds.

I think once you combine all the emotions of the day, the expectations and pressures from family/society, and the desire to make your day memorable, brides feel that everything has to be "the best," which always equals more money. I think it's important to flesh out priorities before any major planning begins, and stick as close to your vision and budget as humanly possible. I like to ask myself "Will this matter in 10 years?" I think you’re definitely right.
