Every wedding starts with the purpose of two people in love who want to spend the rest of their lives together. Then it becomes about two families, two people, two groups, two teams, two continents, two weddings who want to out beat each other.
Why does “keeping up with the Joneses” become such a big deal?
Well, we’ve had many weddings where decision made in terms of the gown, the décor, the photographer, the cake, the favor and even the wedding planner was based on an invisible competition with a cousin/friend/sister.
So the element of show-off comes to play and your entire program is planned in such a way that you get the benefit of “showing off” to the guests and especially your invisible competitor.
This becomes a really sad situation because you loose sight of what is really important and why you are getting married in the first place. Make your decisions based on what the both of you want, make your plans based on what truly represents both your characters and make your choices based on what you’ve always dreamt off. Not what Mrs. Jones would die to have ☺!
