Have you heard? The Bum is to wed! So she and her designer fiancee have quite some work to do. We'll be sharing our designs and our breakdowns here for you to laugh and maybe learn from.
But first, some wisdom about weddings i've picked up thus far.
1) If you want to customize a thousand things for your wedding - which, as a designer, you'll feel almost compelled to do - you can't be lazy.
2) If you are an understated, minimalistic sort of person, your wedding ideas will likely clash with the Lebanese way of MAKE IT SPARKLE.
Some of your suggestions will be met with an awkward silence, followed by "but it's your wedding!"
Everyone, from your mother to the florist, will remind you that the wedding is not just about you and your very accommodating fiancee. It's a public spectacle that needs to impress. Fine.
... I've learnt to pick my battles.
3) You can't do it alone. I can barely plan a birthday party for five, let alone a wedding bonanza. Enter family and friends, doing what they do best.

My music-loving friend is helping with the music *no pressure, Rawane*
etc.
4) Writing a blogpost about it really pushes you to get off your lazy bum and start.
