Client Insight: Margo Hamilton

1. Why did you hire a wedding planner to assist you in planning your wedding?
Zack and I have never planned a wedding, so we thought, who better to help us through the myriad of appointments, choices, and expectations than a professional. We knew we would never make it through the process without help mediating families, and keeping us on track.

2. What was something that surprised you about the planning process.
That a wedding is an intricate creature. No matter how casual, or fancy, detailed, or personalized your wedding may be, everyone wants to know every detail down to the smallest thing. Most times, the bride has to decide, which is at times, more irritating than one imagined possible, but none the less, necessary.

3. What percentage of the decisions regarding the wedding was made by you? Your husband? Jointly?
Our wedding was about 95% jointly planned between Zack and I.

4. Is there anything you would have done differently? Shifted any of your priorities?
I would have really hounded people for their guest lists earlier than I did, perhaps been more pushy than I was with our parents.

5. When you think back on your wedding day, what is your favorite memory?
Seeing Zack at the altar in his kilt.

6. Anything else you would like to add?
It takes more than a bride and a groom to make a wedding happen. Be kind to your providers, and try to realize they are human beings too, with opinions which are at times more educated than your own. Its a wedding, not a nuclear missile launch, don't stress over details, or forget your manners just b/c you are at wits end.
