After
thoughts: It seems that soon after I posted my last entry, I think of things I
should have included. That evening, my family and I watched one of our favorite
movies – “My Big Fat Greek Wedding.” That’s when it dawned on me that I should
have added that to the Wedding Plan post, as well as another very apropos movie,
“Father of the Bride.”
In “Greek
Wedding,” the scene when the bridesmaid dresses are revealed is hilarious. How
many weddings did you stand up for where you dislike the dress? I remember having to wear a mint green
high-waist chiffon gown for a friend’s wedding. I was taller and skinner then
the other bridesmaids and the dress just didn’t fit. But I wore it
none-the-less and promptly donated it afterward. And the scenes of the
gregarious Greek family imparting their wisdom and advice was so familiar to me
being from an Italian family. 
From,
“Father of the Bride,” the scene where the bride’s father checks on his daughter
sleeping on the living room couch, bride magazines scattered about with notes
on ‘how to make your own cake’ and ‘get a friend to take the pictures’. That
convinced dad to hire the wedding consultant.
There are
many other movies that showcase the frustrated bride and groom and all the
hurdles they deal with while planning their wedding. Never-the-less,
whatever is planned and how it turns out, everyone will have a good time. And when you are invited to a wedding,
whisper into the couple’s ear to have them remember to save the little things.
If they ask you why, tell them that all their memories belong in the Family Museum
they can start the day after they are wed.
Congratulations
to all you new Brides & Grooms. May your marriage be a happy and long one.
