Wedding Planner Check List

It is said that wedding planning should be loaded with fun and excitement; with excitement I agree, but with the fun included in it... well, I don't know about that! I witnessed once the excitement of a friend of mine; she had just coming back from a date with her fiancé and was all blushed and breathless while telling us about the way her upcoming event was fixed in regard to the day; it was chosen the day that celebrated one year of the day they had first met. And that was the sparkle which lit up the anxiety of a fire: from that moment on I remembered her to be all stressed and in doubt whether her wedding day would be or not the most beautiful day of her life.

I offered my hand every time I had the chance to do it just because I could see how mixed up she proved to be so many times I happened to talk to her. Sensing her like this I gradually insinuated myself in the planning of her wedding event, although she didn't want to accept anybody's help in this matter. She was quite positive that she could handle it next to her fiancé; after all they weren't the first pair in the world to do it that way. I assured her that my help was merely limited to that of drawing the wedding planner check list which would help in its turn to keep track of the items she had already accomplished in her sinuous road of preparation.

Maybe because it wouldn't have been much of an outsider implication, had she so easily accepted my involvement, but regardless what was she thinking I was glad to do something for her in this regard. To draw the wedding planner check list, I needed to have the copy of the planner exactly how she had it previously conceived. And according to its items, I was supposed to do the checkups following the receipts, the notes of the order, and everything that was to be done in terms of arrangements, of hiring, of contracting the variety of vendors etc.

Besides, this check list was a necessity both in tracking the steps and taking a part of the burden from my friend's shoulders. Each time there was something to be done I would let her know about the thing with at least few days in advance, for her to have the time to physically and spiritually prepare (I still have her frightened look fresh in my mind, even now after two months from the ending of her wedding, which by the way, has proved to be quite success!). But to me, her way of being wasn't at all a surprise: I had always known her to be a little scared of everything that was new to her knowledge, especially on the occasion of her own wedding celebration, which was supposed to mean so much to her and her beloved one.

I couldn't say that the checklist itself was an easy thing to do and to keep track of the variety of items with all the wedding parts that are comprised in the overall aspect of the wedding event was quite demanding, but I liked to think that somehow my involvement had been of some help, and even if I had spent a lot of time in researching for extra items that shouldn't have left aside, I was still glad to see that all our efforts had lead to a day that ended up in glory that was carried till the present days of their happily married life.
