Lessons from the wedding industry

This from Nicole, who's planning a wedding that makes me want to hug her (and who's antique engagement ring is very similar to mine, even!):

-our number one priority should be an amazing and unique reception venue, that no one has been to before, that leaves our guests breathless. if this kind of venue isn't in our budget, we should cut guests from our list.

-our number one priority should be an incredible photographer, who shoots magazine-worthy photos, and will photograph our wedding in a fully artsy and MoMA-worthy style. if our budget doesn't support such a photographer, cut guests from the list so that it does.

Girlfriend, I hear you. I'd rather have all our friends and loved ones delicately nibbling peanuts out of the palms of their hands, then have five people with us eating steak at the plaza. But that kind of thinking isn't going to land me in a wedding magazine, now is it?
