If you put 200 hours into planning some big party, wouldn't you want to have a really fucking good time there? Otherwise, what's the point?*

It will surprise no one here that I had a big fucking wedding with all the trimmings.
What will surprise everyone, and what surprised me at the time was how much fun my mom and I had planning. We loved shopping for dresses (and even went to TCOTU to do some dress shopping...in fact she bought her dress there). We loved choosing a venue and tasting the food and talking to the florist and hiring a band. We had not one disagreement the entire time (except about rose petals up the aisle....my mother won that one by exclaiming "There
must be rose petals!") which for my mother and I is unheard of.
Also surprising was how much fun the whole actual day was. So I agree with Casey on this one...have a really good fucking time.
