If I'm not working, I'm planning. Or at least researching. Obsessed? Pathetic? Who cares? This is an extremely important and personal day and I figure the more researching I do the better. I will know exactly what I (we) want and how much the average cost should be. Every bride should do this- seriously! Search Q&A forums on wedding websites, DVR hours of wedding related reality shows, spend hours reading blogs. You can learn a lot and get a few laughs. (I know I am and some girls are crazy!!) For me, it's easier to figure out want I don't want and then go from there. So don't feel bad for spending hours on Pinterest, weddinggawker, or just mindlessly Google searching. Feel good, feel confidant that you and your future husband will have an amazing and memorable wedding without breaking the bank!
