I agree...brides are a pain in the neck.
Of course not all (I wasn't, ha ha)... but I have two teenage daughters now and the DRAMA of everything is so huge... I think it only grows with all the wedding hype and creates temporary monsters in some cases.
No, it just unleashes the monster in them for all to see.
People make WAY too much ado about their weddings these days. My wife and I got married in 1992 (13 years ago tomorrow), paid for it ourselves, and did it all for about $3000. We had to; we were dirt poor. We kept it simple, low-key, inexpensive (of course, we didn't have to pay for a church or a preacher).
Thirteen years later you don't remember the flowers or the hors d'ouvres or how many guests there were; you remember the love you have for your spouse and the excitement at beginning an eternal journey together.
