Stuff Happens To People With Blogs

… about organising a wedding is that the people involved in the industry are a hilarious parody of their stereotype.

I haven’t ventured into the deep, dark depths of the business as yet but have already been scoulded with a “ohhh but those are Autumn colours”.  I’ve also had the most hideous hot pink “frock” shoved in my face from a woman who could have stood in for Prue or Trude (http://www.kathandkim.com/threw.htm).  The same woman who got very confused when I told her I didn’t want red dresses for my bridesmaids, “But you’re wearing red today?” she said.

There is also the endless clucking, smug smiles and obligatory cooing over my engagement ring (I wonder if that’s a ploy to check if you’re a tyre-kicker).  Jackson is lucky, so far he’s only had to deal with some venue co-ordinators and a couple of photographers … these people tend not to be relatively normal.  Relatively.
