Searching for the right one....

So the fam went searching this weekend for the right venue for the wedding. This bride knows exactly what she wants and she's gonna get it. But after all of this wedding talk, I started to think about my job alone. Here's my checklist so far:
1. Plan the bachelorette party
1a) Where are we going?
1b) Who does she want there?
1c) How expensive is it?
1d) What will we do once we all arive? and where will we go?
(Thank g-d she is not about to walk around with a penis around her neck or whatever else they do at Bachelorette parties. I'm glad with this will just be good fun and a night with the ladies...maybe a surprise here and there, but NO embarrassing moments haha).BACK TO THE LIST
1e) How drunk is she willing to get?

2. Planning the Bridal Shower
2a) Will she like it?
2b) Will it be a surprise?
2c) How do I make sure it is a surprise?

2d) How do I know that no one will spoil it?
2e) Where will it be?
3. The Speech
4. Making sure she is calm and happy through out the entire process and especially on the day
5. Making sure their day is just perfect.

One thing that I've realized is that
moneyis a serious issue once you start the process of a wedding. Well I don't care how poor I am, I'll spend every penny I have just to make this one right. I'll start actual research this week.

In freak wedding events this
Maid of Honor took a bullet at a Texas wedding in May which I thought made her quite the Maid of Honor.

Pleasing the Bride..

When first hearing of an engagement, you don't really understand exactly what is ahead unless you've been there. You really don't understand what is in store for you when you are the Bride's sister, and the Maid of Honor, especially since you've never been there. For all of you sisters and and first timers who are Maid's of honor, I hope I have created a blog that will guide you for the excitement that is in store. My future Brother-in-Law has created a blog called "Her Vision - The Perfect New York Wedding" ( http://herwayorthehighway.blogspot.com/) which details the ups and downs and different events while planning a New York Wedding. Well, I'm here to do the same thing but everything you have to understand about how important your job is as the Maid of Honor. My sister has already turned into Bridezilla will how picky she is and what she wants and where she wants it etc. I'm kidding about the Bridezilla, she just know what she wants and she's going to get it. As she says, you only get married once, you have to do it right. So as a first timer, my job as the Maid of Honor is to completely please her in everything she wants and needs.
