Every party has a pooper that's why we invited you

Wedding planners. This can all be attributed to Hollywood. Think "Father of the Bride". Who wouldn't love a wedding planner like that? Now wedding planners are all the rage. Some charge exorbitant prices. They tell you who to call for bands, cakes, photographers etc.. Some are just there for the day of the wedding. My friends who have been through this say it is like taking a baby to the party and trying to have a good time or getting a babysitter for the baby. Baby sitter wins hands down. Precious
thinks we are nuts. He doesn't want a middle man. He thinks if I can't figure out when to cut the cake then I possibly might be overserved. Wedding planners on the day of the wedding can have a variety of jobs. They come with needle, thread and an emergency kit to make sure everyone is all buttoned up properly. Then they head to the reception to make sure everything is in the correct place. They feed the bride and groom. They corner the photographer for photos. They pay vendors. They load gifts
(why do people bring gifts to weddings???) into cars. They say it is time for your first dance, time to cut the cake and time to leave. I love handing over responsibility. Precious does not. If you see a line drawn in the sand, get out of the way.
