Would this pizza buffet win an award? It was perfect for this wedding.
I’m catching up on some TV shows and just watched an episode of “Four Weddings.” Ever watched that? It’s a (so-called) reality show where four brides rank each others’ weddings and the highest scoring pair win a vacation honeymoon. It’s a chance to showcase four very different weddings and to talk about what makes a wedding “good.” Naturally, I have an opinion about all this.
On the plus side, the show minimizes the cat-fight-type competition among the women. They end up friends at the end and cheer for each other. On the other hand, the things the weddings are ranked on are the venue, the food, and the bride’s dress. Really?? Are these the three most important things about a wedding?
Sometimes when I’m working with a client, I find myself up against this sort of made-for-TV expectation. I have had to talk more than one client down from this ledge and remind them that the important things about a wedding are:
- The ceremony and getting married to the right person.
- Having family and friends there for the occasion.
- Having a ceremony and reception that truly reflect who you are as a couple.
If you happen to have a gorgeous venue, delicious food, and a perfect dress, that’s a bonus. If you don’t, you’ll still end up married at the end of the day, and that is what really counts.
