Wedding advice

[Meggers]

You know, in a marriage, it really isn't 50 / 50 compromise. In practice it tends to be more like 90 / 90. That's when it's really sweet! 43 years together, 39 married, and still counting!

Thats exactly what my dad told me when I was young Almost word for word. He told me that a marriage isnt when both people give half, it's when both people give 100%

The Mrs. and I make wedding/party cakes as a little side-hobby. (Notice I didn't say side-business. ) One of her friends (notice I said her friends) got married September a year ago and hadn't thought through much of any of the wedding plans, other than place, day and time. The minister's wife, one of her good buddies and Yours Truly got to put the reception together, including planning the menu, figuring out how to serve it, and setting up/taking down tables and chairs, all in the South Carolina September heat. Please, Meghan, make at least a few decisions before the big day. And take pictures to your baker. She'll appreciate it.

lol of course I wouldnt push the burden on my wedding day on others. I guess I just mean that I want it to be simple and not such a stressful planning process. There are a few things that I have my heart set on but those are mostly things that only apply to ME (like my bouquet having thistles hiding in it) but everything else I really do want my husbands input on. I want to ask him what HE invisions also and try to make that work with my plans.

Im 100 years away from that day anyway so perhaps when its time to plan, my "bride-ness" will kick in, but as for today, I have almost no heart-set plans set in stone.
