"The flower girls are drunk again!" Viola Fields


Did you know that the average cost of a wedding these days is $20,000? Are you kidding me! Its so insane. Everywhere you go someone is trying to convince you that you have to have this, or you just won't make it with out that. Whatever happened to a small party to celebrate the joining of two lives? Right now I totally understand why people elope. The wedding is really more about your friends and family than about you anway. That's why you stay up til 3am looking at venues, cakes and flowers, so that your friends (and even more importantly your family) will have a memorable day. Its honesly quite exhausting. If you think you know what you want or what you like, don't worry there will be 3 women at your side immediately to give you 5 reasons for why you in fact do NOT like this type of fabric or can NOT wear this type of shoe. I'm so glad I could be corrected before making the devastating mistake of wearing chiffon instead of taffeta...

  1. That's why we planned our wedding from Africa! :) Congrats by the way. Some advice for you: do what you and your fiance will love. In a few years or even months, no one else will care, but you will (well, okay maybe your mom will care). Also, have a good wedding coordinator (not family) because on the day of, you and your family will need someone to direct things (the way you want them) so you don't have to think about it. Believe me, you'll have plenty on your mind. I didn't want one, but Marietta FB required me to have two actually, and I was so glad. My wedding day went perfect and actually was stress free!
