Are you having a wedding soon? Though it might be a very stressful time for some brides and grooms-to-be, the preparation can be fun if you do it well. Get your best friends involved and talk about how your perfect wedding, what dress you want to wear, the food you want served and the music you want to hear. Then eventually, the real thing will happen and you can finally realize the fairytale wedding you have always wanted.
