wedding day maddness
So, I've been engaged a whole two days and I'm already overloaded with wedding day madness. I've always wanted a Fall wedding (it's my favorite season) and most of our family and friends live in Florida, which really gives us the option of a pseudo-summer wedding style.

Anyway, my wedding was actually slated to be in two phases: one for friends who lived reasonably locally, and one for family and friends who had to fly down. Of course, the first went off without a hitch (if you'll pardon the pun), but the second, er, didn't get the chance to develop before the relationship imploded. :/
The reasoning behind it was that there were some insurance timing issues involved, but also to keep the groups of people relatively small. Smaller groups means more flexibility in location choices. For the family wedding, we were able to secure all the trappings of a more formal wedding more easily because of this.

What matters is that you are committing to each other. All else, ALL ELSE, is just trimming. The party, the dress, the guests, the food, the music, the pictures, the venue, etc. are just not really all that important. The sooner you realize this, the less stressful your wedding will be.
As long as you are both there, and both willing to commit to a lifetime together, who cares about the day? It is JUST ONE DAY. Do not let that one day, that while special, is still JUST ONE DAY, compare even slightly to the lifetime you will have together.
That's really the best advice I can offer. Keep it simple. Focus on the reason, not the trappings. Let the small things go. Breathe.
