Wedding wonder of Life

This time round, this article will be more oriented on my thoughts.

As a wedding planner, you get to see a lot from stressful disasters to smiles and tears of joy in the couple’s eyes which is an amazing feeling because you know that the client is happy. At times you get clients who ask for the craziest things that at times are like impossible and you have to turn them down and compromise. Others have wild ideas that when you look at it, it looks like a whole circus. At the same time you may just bump into a bridezilla...but what I’ve learnt from my boss is that, even though you feel like strangling them you always have to work with a smile and approach the outstanding ideas with ease and be gentle while laying out your opinion. At the end of the day, you were hired to make the impossible possible.

Most of the time, things don’t always run smoothly. You could have the pastor not agreeing with your set up at the altar, tents coming late and worse could be in bad condition, seats less in number, mcs not coming on time or not been cooperative, cake comes late, food is not what you ordered for or isn’t enough to cater for the whole congregation make it worse is cold and tasteless, flowers aren’t what you had in mind, program runs behind schedule and having people been thugged. ( I still don’t understand why people would actually go to a wedding then steal from someone else, talking from experience; that is the most depressing thing ever especially when the bride gets to find out.)(But that didn’t happen when I was a planner so please relax...)

The most magical moment is when you get to see the amount of true love and joy that’s flowing within the day. For some reason, no matter the amount of crap you had to eat all day, it all disappears you get a tingly feeling with the effect that “I actually made all this come together.” For a planner, that is the most important aspect of the day. True love can never been hidden. It’s a feeling that when you get you want to share it with the rest of the world; no matter what religion, customs and traditions you may follow.

Life commitments are like the craziest things to do, you know? It kinda scares me at times because down the line you get to hear what you thought was the most perfect couple are now divorced then on the other hand you hear people celebrating their 50^th wedding anniversary and you wish and wonder will you ever find someone like that in your life? At times I tend to think that such things don’t exist at all but hey it’s just life right?
