Anyone who’s ever planned a wedding understands the sheer amount of stress involved throughout the ordeal. It seems a simple enough task at first: choose a beautiful location, find a good caterer, select the flowers, and track down a deejay who doesn’t completely suck. So far, so good—right?
Planning a wedding is all fun and games until the bridesmaids start complaining about their dresses. Or until you’re forced to spend hours agonizing over the seating arrangements for your reception because one half of your family hates the other half and you’ve realized that World War III will definitely break out if Grandma Pearl sits at the same table as Cousin Clyde. (We can’t say we blame her, really… Clyde can’t hold his liquor and he flirts with anything that moves. Including Grandma Pearl.)
