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.

We did the blowout wedding as well, and I had a fucking blast. At the end of it, I did look back and say "Why didn't we take the cash?" But that would've been a mistake. Life's too short not to have a fun wedding. When else can you take a two week vacation without a care in the world. Hell, I even enjoyed all the engagement parties. You fire back some drinks, eat good food and shoot the shit with folks who are all there to see you.
I didn't plan shit. The only real problem we had was we ran over the guest amount allowed at the golf course and they gave us a rash of shit about how the fire dept would flip out because we had too many folks in the room.
I defy anyone to find a better feeling of contentment than the one you get when you slide into the seat of the plane on the way to your honeymoon. I imagine that's how leaving law must feel...
