re: Genuine OT help on a new engagee

Y'all need to consider having your wedding stateside and honeymooning in Hawaii. A destination wedding adds about a million extra steps to this process.

Planning a wedding is not this stressful, even without a wedding planner. I say this as someone who had a big traditional S. LA Catholic wedding.

Each professional you hire will know what they're doing. The church knows what the ceremony will look like, where the pictures will look best, etc. The florist knows how to...make floral arrangements and deliver them. The band knows how to play music and will have set lists, etc. Hire good people and let them do what they do!

Pick the venue and date 1st. Then she gets the dress. Even the dress will sometimes depend on the date of the wedding. For example, they can't all be made/delivered/altered in 3 months. Then pick music/photographer/flowers/food.

This activity shouldn't be rocking her world like this, so you need to find out what's really going on .
