OffBeat Bride:
One of the most pervasive bastions of the dreaded Wedding Industrial Complex is dealing with vendors. Because here’s the deal: while you’re all wrapped up in the warm fuzzy blanket of Offbeat Bride and getting encouragement to break the wedding rules, most vendors make their money from traditional couples and traditional nuptials. They have a series of expectations based on the couples that they’ve dealt with in the past, and not all of them are aware of how awesome you are or how amazing offbeat weddings can be.Um, yes, this exactly. So it's not just me? Phew.
Also, from a long over wedding blog (eleventwentyseven):
It’s like packing for a trip. you can always bring more clothes or add more things but after awhile it doesn’t really make your experience any better it’s all about the vacation and not necessarily what you bring with you.Less is more? Ok good. No one will hate my wedding if everything in Martha Stewart Weddings isn't present? Phew Again.
Some girl on the Knot
I was talking about my wedding and my FBIL said "You know what I think you should do for your wedding? Whatever you want."Amen to that.
