Rather than "complaining" about unreasonable brides, this message from one group of brides (because we often blog collectively here at WIH) to another is simply meant as a reminder to check yourself if you feel you're getting a little out of control (spending too much, demanding too much of friends and family, becoming frustrated or impatient when it's not really worth it)--something most of us have done at some point in the planning process. Rather than disparaging brides as "meek" and unable to "understand," we regard them as strong, smart, beautiful, fallible, forgivable human beings. And we love them for that! Thanks again, Rosanna, and feel free to comment anytime. Houston Wedding Blogger(s) Thanks for your comment, Rosanna!

Yeah and we all have encountered bloggers complaining about how unreasonable some brides can be *just* because they don't understand that it is their day and their money and therefore there is only one way to do it, the bride's way, not the vendor's. No customer would take this kind of bs other than meek brides afraid of sounding too assertive. Their are groomed for this role, and it's nothing to strive to accomplish (feminist anyone?). I always tell my brides "there only are two things that are impossible, defying the laws of gravity and surviving death. So, unless you want to do one of these things for your wedding, everything can be accomplish, it's all a matter of willpower - on the vendor's side - and price - on the client's!" “We’ve all encountered at least one sweet, kind, easygoing, reasonable girl who is transformed, Hulk-like, into a demanding, temperamental, impatient, totally unreasonable beast by the process of planning her wedding.”
