WEDDING DEBATES

People always ask me how the wedding planning is going and really, it's slow. I have a year and 3 months left and last I checked on my calender, I had a year and a half! (Where did the last three months go? and hey where did my NYresolution go?!) We had another meeting with our planner (eventsbyemma.com) and it's nice to see how things are starting to become more tangeable.. We chose some linens and chair covers and got a rough idea of what our centerpeices would look like. It's so exciting and the best part is Dre is just as excited and involved in choosing pretentious details like the crystal detailing on the chair cover. (HOW AWESSOMMMMEE!)

We talked a lot about budget.. not my favourite thing to talk about, and I'm pretty sure it's going to be hard to follow. (shit is expensive these days, man.) Anyways this brings me to my WEDDING DEBATE 1: TO SOCIAL OR NOT TO SOCIAL

What's great about having a wedding planner is that she is a good source of information and advice from all her experience with Winnipeg Weddings. Dre and I always find ourselves saying "oh, really? we had no idea!" (ie: did you know taht you can't just hop into the legislative or kp or assiniboine with the wedding party to take pictures.. There is a fee and papers you must obtain prior to, otherwise, they'll kick you out!) So we ask Emma her opinion on everything including The Social.

Dre seems to want a social..no, it's certain, he wants a social. He seems to want to throw a party more than raise funds.. but I am just not willing to fuss over arranging an event so big (i hired a wedding planner for a reason, you know?)
The only socials I've ever attended have appeared to be so successful but I've definitely heard of social horror stories that became more trouble than anything.

I'm told that some people aren't as generous as they used to be because of the amount of socials being thrown every weekend.. but maybe I don't attend enough socials because all the ones I've been to have had a huge turnout and extremelty saught after prizes.

What's your opinion on Wedding Socials? YAY OR NAY?

My official vote is N TO THE AY. (primarily because i'm LAY TO THE ZEE)
