Who's the Bride???

@somegroovychick

thats a bit patronising…
i’m sure you married ladies had just as many fears/stresses that were just as valid to you in the days leading up to your weddings. perhaps we haven’t had the experience yet of being a bride, but it doesn’t make our experiences of getting there any less relevant.

Actually I didn’t have any of the fears or stresses that most brides-to-be have been discussing here.

Here is what I stressed about at my wedding:

• making sure that there were enough funds to afford things without putting a burden on anyone.

• making sure that my mother was well and not worried about anything.

• moving away from my family after the wedding.

I didn’t

• pick the DJ or any of the music
• pick my outfit except to insist that the outfit not be red
• pick my jewellery or have any say in what it would be like (I saw it for the first time at the mehndi, the day before my wedding.)
• have mehndi done professionally (my friend put it on 2 hours before the wedding reception)
• have my make-up done professionally (did it myself)
• have my hair done professionally (did it myself and had the hair-dryer break down in the middle so I had to use my niece’s Fisher Price fan to dry.)

And that’s just a small list.

And no, the comment was not meant to be patronizing. It was to recognize all the married gals that are agreeing with my view.
