4 years ago, I decided I was going to close my company and go into the only industry a 7th grader could make 6 figures a year doing (with a little bit of talent). Weddings!!! I have had the opportunity to view this industry from every vantage point and with that being said, I have learned; nothing “good” comes from them except the pictures. (And perhaps the video that you will never watch) ((If you can afford it)) These two items are featured on your coffee table and on your facebook page till you have your first real fight, then it’s “In the drawers you go…” And, they stay there until (a.) someone dies or (b.) you are forced to watch it before you sign your divorce papers.
Don’t crucify me, the truth will set you free. Bear with me, I have a fantastic solution for (not the death) but for avoiding a lot of the stress that comes from the first year of marriage.
This is a multi billion dollar industry and man, do you feel the pressure of it the SECOND you sign up for theknot.com. Suddenly you are bombarded with emails, random text messages and blasts from vendors, promising you the “best experience of your life”. What they don’t tell you is that if you don’t have 30k budgeted into your event, you are pretty much “The Poor Bride”, “Budget Bride”, “Bride asking too much” “Wine taste/beer budget- bride ”, and the worst, the “Delusional ass Bitch- Bride.” And then, when you endure this mass rejection, is when that “Real Crazy Bitch - Bride” takes over. RCBB is hurt, she just wants to be beautiful, she just wants the world to honor her dreams for one single day! RCBB wants to fulfill those “Disney” moments she fantasized about as a little girl. RCBB IS GOING TO GET THAT MOMENT, or it’s “Bye bye birdy.” to all the relationships in her life and that might include the one she is trying to solidify (the Groom)
Right now, I am going to lay some serious shit on the table and you aren’t going to like it, but it will liberate you, your future husband and everyone close to you. Then I am going to offer you a new plan of attack… Let’s do this.
You can’t afford it- Or maybe you can. The truth is that racking up credit card bills, borrowing money from Uncle Pete, starting a GoFundMe account or putting away $100 a paycheck is going to stress EVERYONE out. Even if you do have 25K shacked up in an account somewhere, use that shit wisely. 5K wedding - 5K honeymoon - 10K home down payment - 15k nest egg. Easy right? Apparently not, since I still have brides dropping 7k on a wedding dress because it’s the only one that makes you feel like Bell from that Disney movie where she is held captive until she falls in love with a Lion… Stop that.
Everyone is hating you right now- except for Mom, because this wedding is actually about her, not you. Think about this: The second you announce your proposal, your step parents start getting anxiety about having to breath the same realm of oxygen as your extremist right wing father and your alcoholic mother. (I mean, that’s why they divorced, right?) Your (9) bridesmaid’s bodies range from Kim Kardashian to Rebel Wilson and you want to put everyone in canary yellow, floor length strapless gowns. You don’t give a shit that one of your girls is 4ft tall and another has breast the size of a small dirt bike. THIS IS YOUR DAY, REMEMBER?!?!?!?! This doesn't even scratch the surface of your 275 people guest list. Your guests aren't happy either, considering they have to find a sitter, something fancy to wear, and fight with their husband about attending as a couple. They hate the awkward time before the wedding, they hate waiting for the bar to open, (God forbid if they have to pay for the alcohol) they hate sitting at tables with people they don’t know and most of all, they hate that the only form of communication they got from you was that wink you flashed in passing, just before you puked all over the bathroom.
You don’t have the time- If you do, you probably don’t have the money. People who can afford to have big weddings pay someone like me and my business partner to plan it. Planning a wedding is a full time job and imagine dragging out that kind of stress over a 12 to 18 month period of time…
What if I told you that you could plan your wedding in one month, with everything you want (realistically) with the people who care the most about you and on a budget you can afford?
My team and I have designed a “Fool Proof” event plan that gives you the ability to have a wedding (ALL INCLUSIVE) for 1k - 3k - 5k -7k. These 4 packages break down your options with the understanding that you want something beautiful and you want to it to be easy. Hey… you might even want it tomorrow.
If this sounds like something you need, email me, personally and we can help you come up with a solution FREE OF CHARGE…
