Dream Weddings....?????

Dreams weddings sound like a wonderful idea but can sometimes be a very dangerous concept. Most wouldn't agree so I guess I should explain. Dreaming is always fun because it is like trying and clothing and seeing if it fits without actual commitment. Where dreams can get dangerous is when the decision has been made to officially commit to the dream and attempt to make it a reality. Life doesn't always work out like in the movies, so there are many bumps along the way to making your dream happen, and sometimes we never quite recover from those bumps and we need to come to the realization that our original dream may now be "dead" and we need to start dreaming all over again. Most little girls have a "Dream wedding" in mind from the day they learn what a wedding is! They plan everything just like in the movie Bride Wars, where two girls Liv & Emma grow up always thinking about their dream weddings and almost loose their friendship in the process of trying to make them a reality.
Sometimes while on the journey to realizing your dream wedding, some tend to loose sight of what's really important. A wedding isn't about the over the top flowers we choose for the centerpieces, or the location with the greatest view, or even what your wear....a wedding is about two people joining together till death do they part! In reality all that really matters at a weddings is that the key players are present, aka the bride, groom, officiant, & witnesses. Sometimes we get so hung up on trying to invite everyone we've ever known, and trying to please everyone when in reality the only people that need to be happy are the bride and groom! I myself is guilty of this because Ive been trying so hard to make my wedding convenient for everyone when in the end all I'm getting is a headache and no closer to a wedding! Always remember that a wedding is about the bride and grooms love for each other and should reflect that rather than doing what expected because that what everyone has at their wedding. If you have an unlimited budget I so go for the dream and make it happen...but if you don't no need to worry you can still have the wedding of your dreams, just depend on which one of those dreams you choose to follow.
