Worse Wedding Advice #10
10.) "YOU'LL WANT A SHORT ENGAGEMENT SO THAT THE GROOM DOESN'T CHANGE HIS MIND!"
Shorter engagements are exciting and spontaneous, and NOT for the faint of heart! Longer engagements leave you more time to plan, to find “the right” dress, to find vendors, etc. Most engagements are over a year long, and planning a wedding can be stressful… give yourself the time you need. Also… be sure to include your groom in the planning; this is an exciting time for BOTH of you!
So… If you are worried about your groom running away… you might want to re-think who you are marrying. And if he does run away during this time, he'd never last the entire marriage anyways

Worse Wedding Advice #9
9.) "MY MOTHER SAID I SHOULD HAVE THE COCKTAIL HOUR BEFORE THE CEREMONY SINCE GUESTS WILL BE WAITING AND THIRSTY."
Really?? What is mom thinking?? Do that and your guests will be sauced before you exchange your vows. Instead, open the bar during the reception as normal, and serve nonalcoholic beverages like lemonade iced tea, and water with lemon slices beforehand to take care of those thirsty guests. Besides... Alcohol doesn't quench thirst... it just makes you thirstier and wanting to drink more.

8.) "YOU DON'T NEED A WEDDING PLANNER... LET YOUR MOM DO IT!"
Sometimes mom has really good ideas… but sometimes… not. Unless you want your wedding “mom-themed”… ask mom to handle some of the important details… but as for the rest… hire a pro, or at least consult with one. Many wedding planners will charge a very small fee for a short consultation. A wedding Planner can help outline many details for you… some of which you may not have thought about. At least a consultation will help you get organized and headed in the right direction.

7.) "DON'T PAY FOR A PHOTOGRAPHER... THEY COST TOO MUCH! USE UNCLE JOE... HE HAS A NICE KODAK INSTAMATIC!"
Mmmm… No…. not a good idea. Do you really want to entrust your most valuable memories to Uncle Joe’s Instamatic? And what about all those beautiful poses you’ve seen in all the Bridal Mags and have dreamed of doing on your own wedding day? Is Uncle Joe going to be able to capture those? Will he remember to get the one of you tossing the bouquet?... or will he be going for a re-fill at that time?
Professional Wedding Photographers have years of experience in getting just the right shots at just the right time! They aren’t distracted by Aunt Sue needing a napkin, nor do they take breaks every 5 minutes to mingle with long lost relatives. Not to mention the professional prints, albums and other print products available that will last a lifetime! Read the article “Why Do Professional Wedding Photographers Charge So Much?” (http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=114876416937&topic=16982 ) to see all that goes into producing THE best photography and portraits for your wedding day!

Worse Wedding Advice #6
6.) "DON'T WORRY ABOUT BOOKING A PHOTOGRAPHER EARLY... YOU HAVE PLENTY OF TIME!"
The truth is… many professional wedding photographers are already booking the following year’s weddings! Why scramble around at the last minute hoping there is an opening or that someone else canceled… Most brides book their photographer a year out… 6 months at the very least. And if you are getting married in the summer… you absolutely want to book a year ahead! Play it safe… book early and know that you have one of the very most important items on your wedding “to do” list checked off… not to mention a great photographer booked!

Worse Wedding Advice #5
5.) "HAVE A CASH BAR... YOU'LL SAVE LOT'S OF MONEY!!"
Really? Come-on… your family and friends just traveled from all four corners of the state… or the USA… just to see you get married and bought you that funky $200 bowl from Pottery Barn that you’ve been dying to get… and you’re going to charge them for a beer? Tacky, tacky, tacky. Nothing cheapens the look and feel of your wedding more than a good old cash bar. If you can’t afford it… then don’t have it. You are better off to serve Ice Tea, Lemonade and Water… all with wonderful floating lemon slices. They will look beautiful and classy… and they won’t break the bank!
