أفكار للزفاف - Truth #2

Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice starts with this classic line: "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."

The United State Supreme Court ruled today for same sex marriage to be legal nationwide, and as I read the various articles telling this wonderful truth, I told my son to come into the living room.

OMG, bridey... I just don't fucking feel like it! I don't feel like plunging into the fall wedding season pool of drama. I don't wanna. I don't feel like being a shrink, a referee, a "nice guy" and your bitch this fall season. You know why?

I've been doing some thinking and I've come to the conclusion that everything a bride needs to know about wedding planning, she learned in kindergarten. All of these points are so completely basic, yet so completely applicable to wedding planning.

Bridey, when it comes to what your vendors are going to provide for you, avoid comparing what you heard your vendors did for your best friend, sort of friend, acquaintance or somebody that you know. Because each circumstance is different...

The truth is, you are the ignorant. And I am the tyranny of shitty husbands. But I'm trying real hard, guys.

Posted: Print Article I've been married for almost 10 years and I have to tell you the absolute, God's honest truth -- every day is Valentine's Day with Bill as my husband.

Every now and then, I get an email from a distraught bride fretting over such a universal topic, that I feel like I would be missing out on an opportunity to educate all of you brideys, so today I am sharing it on Bitchless Bride.

My name is Katrina, a very excited bride-to-be from Las Vegas. I've been a fan of Bitchless Bride for a good year now. I love your no-bullshit approach and I love the Vendor Vents. I'm a graphic designer for a huge gaming company in Vegas, so I know just how bitchy them bitchy brides can get.

I feel a rant coming on... And maybe it's because I'm on vacation next week and I feel my patience wearing thin or maybe it's because I'm feeling completely burnt out from the craziness of wedding season, but this bridey really pissed me off. Know why?

Customer service is a topic that always seems to get me a bit emotional. Be it an absolutely amazing customer service experience (like the one the hus and I received at Michael Mina in Las Vegas) or a shitty customer service experience, both have the power to make you feel incredible or plain old pissed.

Bridey, I can handle a lot of things, but the one thing I cannot stand is to be micromanaged. Period. So, please don't micromanage me. And please don't micromanage your vendors. The funny thing is that I'm not talking about now; the wedding planning process. I'm talking about on your wedding day.

"Oh my God, you have the coolest job! I'm sure you could write a book about all of the stuff you see!" *wink* Since all of my non-wedding industry friends always seem to think that my job is nothing but rainbows and unicorns, I thought I would share ten things I hate about "I do".

Yeah, I'm feeling kinda ranty today. Honestly, I'm fucking exhausted. I'm so tired of being the shrink, mediator, personal assistant, and hand holder. This wedding season has been awesome and brutal all at the same time!

By the time you read this, I will be 37 years old. Wow... Could I be more dramatic? But, seriously, I feel like I just got married, and my trip down the aisle was ten years ago! TEN FUCKING YEARS! Oh my God! I was 27!!

It’s a cold, hard truth that intention and reality don’t always see eye to eye. While we’d love to spend time creating a red carpet worthy look every morning, the truth is most days we’re pleased to squeeze in a swipe of mascara and dab of concealer. A minimal, busy-morning

Those of us sporting a shorter 'do know that the "short hair is easier" idea is nothing but an urban beauty myth. Truth is, short hair requires savvy styling and it can be challenging to look for ways to spice up your look.

I want to stand up and shout, "FUCK YEAH"! I want to applaud until my hands hurt because now there is proof; now there is evidence of just how fucking rude people can be. Let me fill you in...

Budget. It's a dirty word, but somebody's GOT to talk about it. Here's the thing, bridey, when your guest list grows, then your budget needs to grow with it. PERIOD. THE END. Really, it's as simple as that.

It was an amazing wedding. Like drop fucking dead amazing... From the deep purple décor to the floating orchids all the way down to the boutonnieres and the blinged out bouquets. A MAZ ING. Clearly, there was a lot to photograph, and it would have been an absolute crime to miss any of the intricate, well-planned (ahem) details.

I heard a DIY story the other day that just made me want to curl up in a ball and cry for this bride. Really... I wanted to cry for her. Because while DIY is FAB for several of you, some of us just don't have the knack for doing anything ourselves.

"Beauty is truth, truth beauty,-that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know." - John Keats And nothing is truer than the beauty of Kerala. The tranquil backwaters, the spirited waterfalls, the emerald surroundings, the noisy rivers, the cheery fishermen, and the overseeing palm trees are witness to this.

There's the only truth in the world. No matter what, the ultimate desire of all people in the world is to be loved. I know some people don't own up but deep down in their hearts it is love, they hanker for.
