vendors are providing services in exchange for
free advertising. Weiss says that real-life couples
then come to her with unrealistic expectations
about what they can achieve on a small budget.
Then she has to explain that money doesn’t go
quite so far when it doesn’t come with a televi-
sion crew.
TOSSING THE BOUQUET
If there’s one scene you can count on in every
wedding episode of any ’90s sitcom, it’s the
one where all the bride’s girlfriends vie to
catch the bouquet. (That scene usually ends
with it being caught by the least likely char-
acter.) Tossing the bouquet, as if the woman who
catches it is destined to be the next one mar-
ried, needs to stay in the ’90s, says Aimee Do-
minick, a Washington event planner.
“Most brides are getting married in their
early 20s and 30s, and are professional, work-
ing women,” said Dominick. “Their friends
aren’t a bunch of women who are dying to be
the woman” who gets married next.
She added that some parents don’t realize
how dated the tradition is.
“If you are going to spend
money looking gorgeous for
your wedding day, the last
thing you should do is mush
sugar and icing onto your face.”
SMASHING CAKE INTO
EACH OTHER’S FACES
Smashing a glass is one thing. Heaving a fistful
of cake into your beloved’s mug is quite an-
other. While doing so may relieve some of the
tension of the day, you also run the risk of
turning your beautifully planned day into the
food fight scene in Animal House.
“And if you are going to spend money
looking gorgeous for your wedding day,”
writes distractify.com, “the last thing you
should do is mush sugar and icing onto your
face.” ■
