With This Cliché, I Thee Wed
Jan 8, 2009 Wedding Planning InstituteAs every Certified Wedding Planner will attest, a million things can happen between engagements and honeymoons that are unexpected, uncomfortable, or just plain unlucky. It is the job of the professional planner to help their clients avoid, overcome, or simply accept wedding day misfortunes without allowing them to ruin the love and excitement of their special day.
Elaborately planned weddings have been doused by rain storms, snow blizzards, and erratic sprinkler systems. Ecstatic brides and grooms have been blind-sided by renegade horses, violent illness, and postnuptial depression. Basically, if it can go wrong, there is a Certified Wedding Planner who has not only witnessed the mishap, but also found a solution with minimal disruption for their clients.
So who can blame Hollywood for going to the well of wedding mayhem one more time for the new movie, “Bride Wars”? Once again we are treated to the spectacle of people meeting, getting engaged, and watching in comedic horror as nothing else goes according to plan.
Fortunately for the uninitiated, this latest whimsical wedding tale stars Anne Hathaway, in what seems to be her film forte. In 2004, her “Princess Diaries” sequel found her battling an arranged marriage. Early 2008’s “Rachel Getting Married” featured Hathaway as an estranged daughter returning home just in time to wreak havoc on her sister’s wedding.
And coming in 2010 to a theater near you, the romantic comedy “The Fiancé” gives the matrimonially-challenged actress the chance to jilt her husband-to-be for some much needed self-reflection.
Hilarity will surely follow.

Its the little things that come up (and overcome) that reinforce the need for a properly trained CWP with a calm head and a wealth of knowledge. I have dealt with missing flowers, broken cake toppers, wet bridesmaid dresses, etc. All were fixed before the bride even knew there was a problem.

Mary you are so right, as is the blog- mishaps happen! But a Certified Wedding Planner is specifically trained for things like this, so having him or her around is essential.
This movie looks like it’s going to be funny, can’t wait to watch it!

It is comforting to know that there are Certified Wedding Planners out there that know what they are doing and can give brides the peace of mind necesary while planning a very important event in their lives. Brides should take the extra steps necessary to seek out a CWP and be rest assured that if a mishap were to happen, that it would be taken care of professionally and efficiently without skipping a beat, much like Jennifer Lopez did in The Wedding Planner!

Unfortunately the Wedding Planner in this movie was obviously not a Certified Wedding Planner or she would’ve handled the mishaps in this movie more proficiently. I am very happy that I have decided to get Certified I know I will be more prepared to handle the mishaps that I face in my future.
