Wedding Planning

Wedding Planning is a huge field of endeavor. Even the fun stuff can require a training course: invitations, fashion, ceremonies. But then there are those sneak-up-on-you social and emotional components. Internal family issues, the merging of two families, the beginning and end of lifestyles, all these life-changes can cause an avalanche of emotion to surface around wedding time -- and not just for the bride and groom. This wikizine is dedicated to the art of planning a wedding, from the tiny details to the fun, while preparing for the emotional issues that may lurk in the details. Learn from others who have dealt with weddings, find tips and news on the latest ways to handle this large undertaking, and share your own stories -- funny or horror.
