11 Ways to Diffuse Wedding Drama
Your wedding is supposed to be one of the most important and happy days of your life. For many planning a traditional wedding however, with all the various costs and choices that go into the big day, it's very common for conflicting opinions to create tension in the weeks leading up to the "I Do's." As much as you might have visualized your wedding day, so too have your family members. Your parents, grandparents, and siblings may have expectations and opinions of their own that they'd like to share—whether you're open to their suggestions or not. Overall, people feel like they have wisdom to share or a stake in your wedding day, so you have to be strong and make sure that you're making the choices for you and your spouse, not for anybody else.

Wedding season is upon us. Pinterest is pinging. Registries are ringing. Seamstresses are... seaming. You see where I'm going with this.

I was born in 1997, and although that wasn't all that long ago, it was exactly the right time for me to remember what it was like before Instagram, Pinterest, and a hell of a lot of pressure on what a good life ought to look like. As a kid, I only felt that crushing inadequacy from the occasional magazine I glanced at in the dentist's waiting room. As for things like "social media influencers," or entire accounts dedicated to extravagant weddings, no such thing ever really encroached on my reality.
