With the start of a new week and endless possibilities, I often wonder with the turn of events that occurred the week prior, what would lie ahead in the days to come. It's without a doubt that there has been significant changes in the wedding plans of many engaged couples due to the recession. Others have cutback on certain aspects of their wedding where others have extended their plans to the following year or so. In each of those instances, there has been, on a small to large scale, disappointment. I think what is important, is never to lose sight of why the two shall eventually become one. Love and Lifelong commitment is priceless no matter what your stance may be. Unfortunately some couples miss this mark completely. I recently saw the Sex and the City movie on DVD. I thought it was great, and conveyed an important message to couples in the planning stages of their wedding.
Carrie and Big started off on the good foot with setting a limit on the guest count. They were communicating openly and honestly. However, things began to spin out of control when outside influences began to dictate the what, where, and who.
Now outside influences can be utilized in good ways, granted of their implementation and measure. In the movie when this started to happen: Carrie got carried away. She started to add things and before you knew it, the guest count was out of control. What happened to the communication and the REAL reason of the joining? Something so intimate and simple turned into Grand that caused great stress for both the bride and the groom to be. When you stop paying attention to the needs and preference of your partner it puts a negative twist on things. Hence confusion and then ultimately chaos. Setting limitations and keeping an open line of communication in your planning process is essential to your peace of mind.
