I always thought planning your wedding would be similar to making an independent film.  Your budget is limited so you have to spend wisely, trying to be extra creative and make each dollar go the distance.  You have to cast the right people, hire photographers that fit your style, find locations, decorations, etc.  It's like a big production and although you want it to look like Moulin Rouge, it may end up being Saved by the Bell or The Wedding Singer.  But that's fine as long as you have fun and enjoy it. 

HAVE FUN and ENJOY!.  It's like a choice.  Choose to stress over it or choose to enjoy it.  I think I'll do the latter.

I believe it was the wife of Stanley Kubrick who said every movie he did took five years off his life.  I don't know how much time I've taken off my life stressing about our wedding so far, but the one thing I know is I would never want to be a filmmaker if producing each film was like planning your wedding all over again.

My prayers go out to all those planning their wedding!
