Centerpieces and Seating Arrangements: Part II
Friday, January 9th, 2004 [edit]

So the groom might have won the seating arrangement debate. I’m just saving my cards for the good stuff. You know how it is ladies, you got to give the guy something. You have dreamed of this day your whole life. The groom thought about the day once you brought it to his attention that with an engagement there will now be a wedding. A fabulous Wedding. And then the details that you have created as “The Perfect Day” are quickly changed and rearranged in a matter of seconds.

People, seriously, it’s taken me 24 years to create this day. This is good quality material. That is not to be taken lightly. If anything I should be given a pat on the back for being a very orderly and plan-oriented person!!!! (Thanks Ben for the compliment)

I do however agree with picking your battles and this is one I’d rather give in on and let the groom have because I know there will be plenty I will not want to loss.

Example One:

Groom: “You want to spend how much on flowers?!?!”
Bride: I know it’s a lot but we have to compromise. I gave up my dream of having a seating chart. Now that’s compromise
Groom: Ok

Example Two:

Groom: “You just spent how much on a wedding dress?!?!?”
Bride: Repeat same comment from first example.
Groom: OK

You get the point. There’s a plan people. A Plan!!

I see a potential flaw if you expect the second comment from the the groom to be: OK

The potential flaw Ben mentions is a huge gaping flaw. A flaw of gigantic proportions.

Jessica called me this morning to say she’d found a great DJ. She was going on and on, then mentioned he was a little pricey. About twice as pricey as we’d allocated funds towards.

Did I respond with a meek ‘OK’? No, my friends, no I did not. I’ll give you a hint, it rhymed with ‘pullspit’.
