DIY or Die!


Dear Wedding,
I thought I was going to have you, but in the end you had me. Well played.

This woman's letter to her wedding scares me.

While I applaud the thrifty DIY aspirations, it sounds like a generally miserable experience and a perfect example of WTMWS.

"I thought my head would explode from making invitations and dresses and finding plates and utensils and tablecloths and buying food and agonizing over finding a suit and making sure everyone got there and planning the ceremony and realizing last minute I wanted flowers and making bouquets and feeling guilty about wanting to arrange them myself and making signs and cards and decorations and basically asking everyone I know to show me their love through sheer hard labor."

And...

"You [the wedding] also made my husband and I fight so much that we almost didn't get married."

YIKES! A cautionary tale for overly ambitious DIYers! Don't say you haven't been warned!
