I feel so fricking bad for dudes that marry girls who spend months planning a wedding.

Took us a couple hours

Book a room at the Bellagio
Buy plane tickets
Book a package with Scenic Las Vegas Weddings
Reserve a Tee time with a coupon
Reserve a Jeep
Buy Frank Caliendo tickets
***MAKE SURE the show date doesn't default to today's date at any point in the purchasing process ***

When people say they need a year to plan a wedding, obviously they don’t mean they need hours every day for a year to plan. They have to do shite in advance, regardless of how long the actual planning takes. The dress alone took several months to come in, then several more weeks for alterations.

That said, I would pretty much rather eat glass than ever plan another wedding. Such a colossal waste of money.

Not talking about waiting until the wedding.

I mean the actual planning. Researching venues, calling them, and booking them. Researching bands, calling them, and booking them.

Maybe add a day or two if people don't respond or pick up the phone. Though I'd argue that's a reason to move on to the next in line.


ha good luck

Probably 2 weeks. It really depends. If you're the type of person who will just book any venue, caterer, cake, band, restaurant, etc.. then you could probably do it in a couple days.

Planning a wedding? That's what the bride, her mom, and friends do. As the groom we have two jobs:

1. Pick the type of grooms cake you want.
2. Do exactly what she she wants and generally stand there and smile on your wedding day.

The wedding day is her day. That day really is about her. Girls spend their whole life thinking about and planning that day. Truth be told most have every detail worked out in her head years before she even meets you. It's your job to make she she gets her day.

Yep. It's also the first day your now wife lies to you. Promises to take you for better or worse and six months later she starts trying to change the worse in you. I call it the six month phenomenon.

I've been through it twice, I know.

I got lucky on the first try I guess because my wife has never tried to change anything about me.

Good venues book up as much as a year in advance.
This. It doesn't take too long to actually plan a wedding; the guest list takes the most time. It's more about getting the venues and vendors set up while they're still available and having your guest list finished in time to order all of the invitations and send them out in time, etc.

I got lucky on the second in that regard but I learned from the first marriage to put my foot down pertaining to what might be changeable and what will not be changeable before saying "I do" to the second wife. She accepted that and 17 years later we be good.
