Lauren is one of my co-workers who
started around the same time as I did. As co-workers who started together on
the same track, Type A girls and movers to the city at the same time, we were
quick friends. Last Christmas, Lauren’s fiancé Lee proposed and voile, they
scheduled a November 30 wedding (their 5th anniversary of dating).
Although I’ve been to other weddings
and seen plenty of people get married, Lauren and Lee’s wedding was close to me
both sentimentally and physically. Lauren and I sit two rows apart at work, and
I really had the chance to experience wedding planning with her. Whether it was
browsing Etsy links throughout the day, watching the invitations arrive at her
desk, evaluating the bridesmaid gifts and watching her DIY create the bouquets,
Lauren and Lee’s wedding showed me just how much work a wedding is.
Top lessons:
- Every little detail matters. Whether it’s the centerpiece, the table number, place card or weight of the paper, these are all decisions that you consciously have to make (as unappealing as some might be!).
- Every bride needs a hot glue gun.
- The rehearsal dinner and wedding guest list grow quickly, especially once you calculate your friends that need to bring +1s to both events. :).
