It’s My Wedding - Shut Up Mother!!
| What is it with Mothers when it comes to your wedding, why does an otherwise ‘normal’ mother suddenly turn into a complete nut case the moment you announce that you are getting married?
If you are a Mother, and one of your offspring is getting married, remember that your role is to be the "SASE". |
 |
SASE you are asking, what does that mean? Well, I will start with a few things it doesn’t mean.
SASE simply means a) Support, b) Advise (when asked), c) Smile, d) Enjoy If you do that your daughter is much more likely to be open with her plans and get you involved - this way you will both enjoy the experience. Employ any of the tactics above, or generally interfere and try to impose your will and the end result will be your daughter shutting you out bit by bit - you will end up less involved and at logger heads - your relationship may never fully recover. For the record, my Mother was great and nothing like the above (just in case you are reading mama…) |
Live Band vs DJ?
It’s no secret that there are few other elements of a wedding that can make or break the entire celebration other than the music. And it’s for this reason why discriminating brides and grooms often lose countless hours of sleep deciding on their entertainment - DJ or Band?
The seemingly obvious choice for an upscale wedding is to hire a live band; however that can cause strife with those couples who really appreciate hearing the music the way they’ve heard it, by the original artists. Of course the next logical choice is to research a great DJ.
