Do's and Dont's of wedding planning


Recommended Posts

Do seem interested in what your fiancee has to say.

Don't say "uh huh, aye, marvellous, whatever you want"

 

Do try and prevent your fiancee from picking her overly loud obnoxious pal as a bridesmaid.

Don't make the efforts you go to in preventing the above obvious.

 

Do keep a calculator at hand when you're sitting down with the caterer

Don't be seen crossing your fiancee's former colleagues from 4 years back off the invites list.

 

Do make it clear what you want from the photographer

Don't be blunt and tell the photographer that you "don't want to look like a fanny with an action shot of you running with the wedding party through a field of ripening barley" like he has for almost every client shown on his website.

 

Do make it clear to the best man that you cannot have none of that stripper shenaigans on the go at the stag do when discussing it in front of your fiancee.

Don't be heard giving your best man the number of the stripper you hired for his stag do.

 

Do take interest in how the purchasing of the wedding dress and bridesmaid gowns is coming along.

Don't make a snide remark that the aforementioned mouthy obnoxious possible bridesmaid you're trying to torpedo would need two dresses stitched together before she could fit in it.

 

Do make out the invites list with your fiancee as this is the last chance to stop your "family & friends" wedding you both seemingly wanted from becoming "every and any sod you ever met while out and about" wedding thus forcing you into a financial blackhole that only a euromillions win would clear.

Don't have a big black marker pen and cut a swathe through her side of the invites list like you were Alexander the Great tramping through Persia.

Then there's always:-

 

DON'T moan about the cost of the bridal magazines she keeps shoving under your nose as soon as you've got in from work;

 

DO have the conversation about whether or not you want kids (preferably not on your wedding night);

 

DON'T say her bum would look big in the proposed going away outfit;

 

DON'T say that Haven Holiday have special offers when she shows you the Sandals' brochure;

 

DO smile sweetly and bite your tongue whenever your future mother-in-law suggests something unless, of course, your fiance has given you "the look".
