Happy Thanksgiving! Or Enter the Wedding Drama Zone

I hosted Thanksgiving dinner this year, which was a GREAT idea…considering that we have two weddings to plan for this weekend.  *sigh*

But the absolute BEST part of it was spending time with my family.  Picture this: I’m running back and forth between the rapidly browning turkeys in the oven (which refused to cook evenly) while dressing and plating the salads, struggling not to forget the potatoes, squash and stuffing…batting my maurauding cat off the counters and away from the cheese and pepperoni hors d’oeuvres, tripping over my whining dogs…

And my mother decides to argue about POLITICS…with my mother-in-law.

It doesn’t get any better than that, folks.

All those raging family issues made me think about…weddings!

No doubt your wedding was the talk of the Thanksgiving table…and all the “wedding drama” that goes with it.

Some advice on how to Rise Above Wedding Planning Stress and The 5 People Who Stress You Out Most Planning Your Wedding.

Everyone has their own (very strong!) opinion of your wedding: how much it should cost, where it should be, who should do what and how.  It’s enough to drive you mad.

If you want to plan your dream wedding…without debt or going broke…you’ve got to balance what you want with trying to make everyone else happy.  It is YOUR day, after all!

It’s about perspective and priority.  And a little trick I call the “Instant Drama Deflector” to stop the flood of unwelcome opinions and deal with etiquette wedding questions and those touchy situations.  If you’re struggling with family wedding drama, reading my book just might save you from Bridezilla-ville.
