Yay! wedding planning again!!

I got a call from my little sister last night ? her bf proposed! I am soo excited for them! I haven't gotten a lot of details yet, but I am super excited to help her plan her wedding!

For those of you who have helped to plan weddings after your own, did you enjoy it? How is it different??

Re: Yay! wedding planning again!!

  • Yay for your sister!

    Wedding planning for me now is kind of hilarious. Because as a "been there, done that" neurotic bride, it's so clear to me know which things were so dumb to obsess over and worry about. It's far less stressful NOT being the bride. On the flipside of that, it's easy to lose sight of the "zomg so happy/so stressed/so many things to do!!!" enthusiasm because you're coming from a much more logic-based mindframe.

  • It's still fun, I just went through it with my sister and now my bff is getting married next spring so I'm helping her.  I love doing it but Mamie's right, a lot of stuff does seem really trivial now and you sort of become a voice of reason. 
  • My BFF is getting married a week from Friday, and it's been a lot of fun helping her plan. There are some things that I now look back on and think "Really, no one cared..." but I remember how important they were to ME as a bride, so I've never told her not to do something (no one would've been able to tell me, anyway...).

    Good point - I caught myself a few times when my sister was stressed over something and I just wanted to say don't worry about it - no one will care but it was important to her and I didnt want to rain on her parade.
