Wedding Planning
How much would someone have to pay you to go through the wedding planning process again? The same wedding you had (so no magically increased budget or family members that mysteriously disappeared this time around). And don't consider the day itself....I think for most of us the day was wonderful and went by superfast, so we would LOVE to relive it![Poll]
Re: Wedding Planning
I'd say I'd do it all again for a solid $20,000. Reasoning: My MIL drove me nuts. She wasn't paying for any of it, but had all sorts of negative opinions (color of bridesmaid dresses, size of wedding party, color of flowers, not a church wedding, not her pastor officiating <note DH and I are not at all religious>, not inviting enough people, inviting too many people, too short a ceremony, not enough flowers for attendees, etc.) that made me very upset several times during the planning process. I'd need the $20,000 (figuring after taxes it'll be closer to $10,000
) to go on a nice long vacation where cell phones don't work and e-mail doesn't exist so MIL can't communicate with us 
Aside from that I really did enjoy planning - I found great vendors, and I think it'd be easier the second time around. I've learned one major thing about myself along the way: listen to my gut - I researched cake toppers for easily over 12 hours. All different places to buy them. All different options to make them. All the ones buy them again. Finally ended up buying - could have saved oodles and oodles of time by just going with my gut - that I wasn't going to make a cake topper. hahaha.... silly Kenna.
