I nearly forgot, choose your bridesmaids very carefully. I had my daughter and one of my oldest friends, my sisters were really pissed off that I didn't ask them but it was the best decision I made. On the day they, my daughter and friend, dealt with every problem that came up, not me. They were involved in all the planning and knew it all inside out and they took their duties very seriously (until later when my friend was so drunk she fell down the stairs and the best man had to put her over his shoulder like a sack of spuds and carry her to her room :lmao: ). My sisters would have done nothing other than turning up in the frocks and standing in the right place at the right time like bookends.

Another very good point :)

Thankfully I don't think I'll be dealing with bridesmaids - although I have a couple of female friends that I trust it's looking like I'll just be having a best man instead, my best friend of about 5 or 6 years who I know I could trust with anything.

Yeah, this is the best option. At least you won't have to deal with girl hysterics, as most bridesmaids I 've seen are fairly unstable and when the day comes, they fall apart - or so it seems to me. But then I have seen only NTs as bridesmaids (no big surprise here) and I can hardly stand their chirruping even under normal circumstances. If I could choose, I'd prefer the male equivalent any time.

He's a spammer troll. Just ignore it and maybe it'll go away.


My wife and I used a planner but we kept it small - 25 people. We didn't feel the need to follow a lot of the wedding traditions - short service followed by a meal and that was it. It was still a long day. I would suggest doing parts of it on your own if you find those things fun - if not, get someone else to do those things.
