Bride Wars... how far is too far???

I was invited to the Montreal Premiere of Bride Wars and although I enjoyed the movie thoroughly, I was left wondering really how far could a bride go just to make their wedding day perfect!!!!

Although the movie is a bit exaggerated, it is sending out a message- which in true life is very very realistic!!! Brides should learn to relax and enjoy their planning rather than stress and make it a very difficult time for themselves, their partners and all their friends and family around them!!!

Ever sice the movie came out, I've been asked by email and by friends, whether brides really do go that far and get that serious about their special day... and although I have never encountered a bride that went to those extremes, I have worked with numerous brides and couples that have evolved to be people they never thought they would be or do things they never thought they would do ... just because they were planning their wedding!!!

My advise to couples is to enjoy the months leading to your wedding day...this time is supposed to be beautiful times filled with special memories... so don't ruin it by having unrealistic expectations!!! Most importantly, don't listen to Kate Hudson; when she says you don't alter VERA to fit your body, you alter your body to fit VERA!!! - I DISAGREE!!! Be true to yourself and who you are, and you will look beautiful !!! :)

And oh... If you are planning your wedding... do watch the movie... it will help you put your priorities in place! :)
